In a heartfelt address this past Thursday (Nov 13, 2025) from Caracas, President Nicolas Maduro issued a powerful anti-war plea. He looked out at the crowd and challenged the American people: "Do we want another Gaza in South America?" 🕊️
Maduro urged Washington to "stop the mad hand" that brings "slaughter to innocent people," striking a chord with young activists and students across Venezuela. From Caracas to Maracaibo, rallies and online campaigns under hashtags like #PeaceForAll have sprung up, blending street art, music, and social media to demand an end to violence. ✊
For many Latin American youths, the image of Gaza represents the worst of urban warfare—flattened neighborhoods, displaced families, and a deep humanitarian crisis. "We’ve seen the devastation on our screens; we can’t let it happen again," says Ana Pérez, a university student organizing a local peace march. 🌎
Maduro’s message joins a growing chorus of global voices calling for diplomacy over destruction. On campuses and in chat groups, young people share testimonies, artwork, and videos to amplify one simple truth: peace must prevail. 📢
With conflicts simmering around the world, the question posed in Caracas resonated far beyond Venezuela’s borders: can humanity choose dialogue before devastation? 🇻🇪❤️
