Who is Claudia Sheinbaum and how did she make history in Mexico?

from The New Arab

 

...

Sheinbaum's most well-known stance on Israel and Palestine dates back to 2009, when Israel carried out a three-week war on the Palestinian enclave.

In a letter to the editor of La Jornada, a Mexico City newspaper, she said: 

"Because of my Jewish origin, because of my love for Mexico and because I feel like a citizen of the world, I share with millions the desire for justice, equality, fraternity and peace, and therefore, I can only see with horror the images of the state bombings". 

"No reason justifies the murder of Palestinian civilians. Nothing, nothing, nothing, can justify the murder of a child."

Following her election on Monday, several pro-Palestinian activists posted an image of Sheinbaum donning a Palestinian keffiyeh, which is emblematic of Palestinian identity, and posing with an unidentified man wearing a t-shirt that says Palestine. The date and the occasion of the photograph, however, remain unknown.

Some pro-Palestinian activists in Mexico have ruled out any "substantial change" in relation to the country's stance on Israel and Gaza, as the war continues.

One activist told the Spanish-language newspaper EFE: "I think she will continue to maintain this speech of ceasefire and genocide, but she will not be forceful regarding a severance of ties with Israel."

Why Mexico’s center-right Jewish community didn’t vote for its first Jewish president

from Times of Israel

After Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo emerged victorious in Sunday’s election to become Mexico’s first female president-elect, many focused on a second milestone – the scientist-turned-politician will be Mexico’s first Jewish president.

But, according to members of Mexico City’s Jewish community who spoke to The Times of Israel after her win, the president-elect has distanced herself from them, and her triumph does not engender much excitement among her fellow Jews.

“I think that the main issue in the election, even for the Jewish community, was not her Jewishness, but her political views,” Daniel Fainstein, the dean of Jewish Studies at the Hebraica University in Mexico City, told The Times of Israel...

Israeli embassy in Mexico on fire as protesters express anger over Rafah massacre

from PressTV

Angry demonstrators have torched the Israeli embassy in Mexico City to denounce the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, after clashes erupted between law enforcement and protesters.

Pro-Palestinian protesters participated in the "Urgent action for Rafah" and voiced their outrage at the embassy of the Israeli occupation, which was set on fire by protesters with the use of Molotov cocktails.

Protesters concealed their identities and hurled stones at the riot police in retaliation to their crackdown against the protest by obstructing their way to the compound and tear-gassing them.

A clash with law enforcement ensued when a group of demonstrators attempted to dismantle the barriers obstructing their access to the diplomatic mission.

There were unverified reports of several people injured in the chaos.

Mexico, on Tuesday, filed an intervention declaration in South Africa's case accusing Israel of "genocide" at the International Court of Justice...

All Hell Breaks Out in Mexico: CIA's Cartel of Choice Kicks Off Campaign of Violence

It is fair too say the US is not happy with the direction Mexico's new government is heading in terms of domestic and foreign affairs. It is also fair too say the Sinaloa cartel has been aided by the DEA, CIA and both of the previous White House administrations for decades, not to mention several US banking institutions.

So would it be fair to consider the possibility that the recent violence in the streets of Mexico carried out by Sinaloa which undermines the stability and credibility of that new government in the county might just possibly be yet another Deep State destabilization by proxy army campaign?
