"A Genocidal Special Relationship" by Carlota McAllister

"Israel used Guatemala’s genocide not only as a platform for asserting itself as a minor imperial power and a profit center for its military and associated industries but also as a proving ground for anti-Indigenous counterinsurgency. In return, Guatemala has numbered among Israel’s most loyal international allies. Not only did Guatemala move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2017, but it also voted alongside a tiny number of nations to protect Israel from condemnation in the early stages of the latest bombardment of Gaza."
