If there’s one factor that socialist President of Brazil Lula da Silva loves greater than something, it’s the sound of his personal voice.
Again and again, he will get into scorching water for his public manifestations, typically on points which might be NOT in Brazil’s strategic curiosity.
After he burned his tongue with Russia and China by ad-libbing ‘creative solutions’ for the Ukraine conflict, Lula began to toe the Kremlin line on most, if not all, geopolitical themes of the day.
Whereas the Western world was assembled for the Munich Safety Convention, Lula was in Ethiopia for a summit of the African Union – a corporation that, evidently, South American Brazil just isn’t part of.
So, Lula determined that he wanted to weigh in on the state of the conflict within the Center East. There’s completely NO UPSIDE for Brazilian diplomacy and nationwide curiosity for the President to get caught on this maze of controversial assessments.
Evidently, 87% of the reactions to Lula’s verbal diarrhea on social media have been unfavorable.

His newest feedback come as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urgent forward with an offensive in Rafah, to the place some 1.5 million individuals have fled.
“‘We will not forget nor forgive’, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in response. ‘The comparison between Israel and the Holocaust of the Nazis and Hitler is crossing a red line’, he said in a statement.”
Occasions of Israel reported:
“Overseas Minister Israel Katz, the son of Holocaust survivors, takes Brazil’s Ambassador Federico Mayer to Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem to reprimand him over Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s comparability of Israel’s marketing campaign in opposition to Hamas to the Holocaust.
In entrance of the cameras, Katz tells Mayer that Lula just isn’t welcome in Israel. ‘We will not forget nor forgive. It is a serious anti-Semitic attack. In my name and the name of the citizens of Israel – tell President Lula that he is persona non grata in Israel until he takes it back’.
‘I brought you to a place that testifies more than anything else to what the Nazis and Hitler did to the Jews, including members of my family’, says Katz. ‘The comparison between Israel’s simply conflict in opposition to Hamas, and the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazis, is a disgrace’.”
