Israel declares Lula 'persona non grata' for comparing the attacks on Gaza to the Holocaust. The president of Brazil considers that the Israeli army is committing “genocide” against the Palestinians.
“What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has not happened at any other time in history. In reality, it has happened: when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” declared Lula on Sunday in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) “It is not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It is a war between a very prepared army and women and children,’ added the president.
