Caribbean rebels historically are very inspiring.

From Haiti to Cuba those revolutions reflected the strongest and most courageous human spirit.

Didn’t Barbados also recently demand reparations from France?

Need more of this.

Fidel and Che were right. There needed (needs) to be a solidarity block of central and South American countries against imperial US.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The action item:

That rigorous screening must be implemented at all ports of entry to Barbados for Israeli passport holders, and that any individual with known or suspected involvement in genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity must be:

  • Prosecuted by the DPP, and if that is not possible,
  • Immediately deported by the Immigration Department, in accordance with Barbados law—regardless of diplomatic status

I got curious about this and looked into it and what little I found was very unclear to me if there is actually a case ongoing, pending or just proposed. This group has been attempting to get this off the ground for a while now it seems. They filed something on June 20 2025 but it might have been a petition (like a collection of signatures) or a petition (like a court document). Or both might be involved.

I think most optimistically, there has been some sort of very preliminary hearing about whether the case can proceed. No mention anywhere of any representation from the respondents. (And for context, numerous articles mentioned the presence of legal students to demonstrate the gravity so participants were thoroughly accounted for.) Which I suppose means: it is not at a stage where it even can be contested, OR it is not seen as a legitimate legal action worth their time. As of June 20, the applicants were quoted as saying there was no date set for any potential case and it had not yet been accepted.

At any rate I don't think anything has happened that would justify saying a "case" has been "heard". Apparently the SC next meets July 21 and some articles say whatever started here will be continued on that day. But others seem to suggest it's more like a hope that something will happen.
