Brazilian President Lula has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians and compared its war on Gaza with Adolf Hitler’s campaign to exterminate Jews.
“What’s happening in the Gaza Strip isn’t a war, it’s a genocide,” Lula told reporters in Addis Ababa where he was attending an African Union summit on Sunday.
“It’s not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It’s a war between a highly prepared army and women and children,” added the Brazilian president.
“What’s happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people hasn’t happened at any other moment in history.
Actually, it has happened: when Hitler decided to kill the Jews.”
Israel's foreign minister described Lula's comments as antisemitic and said he was "persona non grata" in the country until he retracted them.

So what? I doubt Lula wants to visit the apartheid state of Israel, anyway.
Lula is taking a stand on principle that Biden and Sunak fail to take.
And it's not just about religion. It seems you're unaware that Israel is bombing and killing Palestinian Christians as well.

Squeeze Guyana in the middle
BREAKING: GUYANA REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD CRAVEN MADE THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENT TO THE ICJ ABOUT ISRAELI CRIMES
“Although situated far from the Middle East, Guyana has a close interest in the legality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory”.
“Israel’s activities in the occupied territory, which have been brought in sharp focus by the tragic and ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, are a matter of truly global concern,” he said.
Craven added that the occupation has “significant implications not only for the state of Palestine and the Palestinian people but for all states opposed to the acquisition of territory by force”.

So the 16 or so words that I wrote above are being proven correct no?
And even for you it is not religion, it is an abomination that is using religion
as a clutch...both 'Christians' and Likud Party Jews. I doubt that since WWII
any army has so willfully killed so many children, not US in Vietnam,not Pol Pot
not Charles Taylor....
