The Palestinization of Guatemala:

In Chris Hedges recent interview with Jennifer Harbury, she referred to the "Palestinization of Guatemala", with respect to Israel's military aid to further the Guatemalan genocide of (mostly) Maya Indigenous peoples in the 1980s, after the US was forced to stop overt funding.

The article below expands on this. A quote:

Much of Israel’s military aid is part of an assistance mesh that includes agricultural aid. A NACLA report by investigative journalist George Black summarized from Guatemala: “There is an interlocking mosaic of assistance programs — weapons to help the Guatemalan Army crush the opposition and lay waste to the countryside, security and intelligence advice to control the local population, and agrarian development models to construct on the ashes of the highlands.”
