Is Brazil preparing itself to break off its ties with Israel?
Israel slams “diplomatic dwarf'” Brazil for recalling envoy to protest Israeli anti-terrorist operation
By Jerusalem Post e Julio Severo
The Brazilian
socialist government on Thursday recalled its ambassador to Israel for
consultations in protest over the IDF’s (Israel Defense Force) operation
against the Islamic terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli
Foreign Ministry immediately slammed Brazil for the move.
“This is an
unfortunate demonstration of why Brazil, an economic and cultural giant,
remains a diplomatic dwarf,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.
Palmor added,
“The moral relativism behind this move makes Brazil an irrelevant diplomatic
partner, one who creates problems rather than contributes to solutions.”
During Operation
Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Bolivia recalled its envoy for consultations, a prelude
to that country later breaking off ties.
Is Brazil also preparing
itself to break off its ties with Israel?
Brazil was one
of the 29 countries in the UN Human rights Council that voted Wednesday to
probe Israel’s actions against Islamic terrorists in Gaza (17 countries
abstained, and only the U.S. opposed).
One Israeli
official said that Brazil’s representative to the council was especially “bad”
to Israel when addressing the council.
As a Brazilian
citizen, I ask forgiveness for the wicked way Israel was treated by the
Brazilian socialist government in the UN.
In its
ideological enmity to Israel, the Brazilian government does not represent me
and millions of Christians who support Israel.
The Brazilian
diplomacy has been worse than a dwarf. It has been a disaster. The socialist
government of Venezuela has been massacring its own students, who protest
against human rights abuses, and the Brazilian government has moronically sided
with the government, not with the people, of Venezuela.
If Brazil wants
to use its position in the UN to be “bad” to a nation, it should choose
Venezuela, China or Cuba, not Israel.
If Brazil breaks
off its ties with Israel, my family and I will renounce our Brazilian
citizenship.
