Brazilian
Federal Police Launched Operation Against Pastor Who Prayed for New Holocaust
Against the Jews
By Julio Severo
The Brazilian Federal Police launched
Operation Shalom on March 12, 2021, against a pastor who offended the Jewish
community.

Tupirani da Hora Lores, the Brazilian
minister targeted by the investigation, became internationally notorious after
he led a 2020 prayer in his church for God to destroy the Jews.
According to The
Jerusalem Post, Tupirani prayed to God to “destroy the Jews like vermin”
and bring about a second Holocaust. The Jewish newspaper added:
“Massacre the Jews, God, hit them with
your sword, for they have left God, they have left the nations,” Pastor
Tupirani da Hora Lores shouted at dozens of congregants earlier this month (June
2020) at his Geracao Jesus Cristo church, a recording of the event shows. His
congregants are heard repeating his words passionately.
“They contrived, went with prostitutes,
and when they were told to repent they said they’d do it but they lied,” the
pastor said, possibly in reference to the forced conversions to Christianity
during the Inquisition.
“God, what you have done in World War II,
you must do again, this is what we ask for in our prayers to you: Justice,
justice, justice!” da Hora Lores shouted at his church, a small and radical
evangelical congregation.
Tupirani is a very isolated “Pentecostal”
and he is not representative of the Brazilian Pentecostalism, which is very
friendly to Israel. In fact, when Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Brazil in 2019, he said,
“We
have no better friends in the world than the Evangelical community, and the
Evangelical community has no better friend in the world than the State of Israel.”
So the prayer of Tupirani asking for a new
Holocaust against the Jews, interpreted by the Jerusalem Post as looking like the
forced conversions of the Jews to the Catholic Church during the Inquisition,
has nothing to do with Brazilian evangelicals, who are mostly Pentecostals who
reject the Inquisition.
In fact, my
articles have spearheaded efforts to fight against the sanitization of the Inquisition.
I have praised Jewish efforts to fight the Inquisition advocacy movement in
Brazil. I have consistently and positively mentioned a book against the
Inquisition written by the father of Netanyahu.
I have several articles also against what
Nazis did against the Jews in the Holocaust, including this one: “Holocaust
Remembrance Day: Few people know the consequences of anti-Semitism.”
Obviously, the Inquisition advocacy
movement in Brazil hates my articles. Their hatred is not different from the
hatred of Tupirani, who in a 2019 YouTube
video called me a “coward.”
The actions of the Brazilian Federal
Police against Tupirani for his speech against the Jews are correct. But if his
speech is similar to the Inquisition, as The Jerusalem Post pointed out, what
is the Federal Police going to do against videos and articles in the Brazilian
internet sanitizing the Inquisition? What is the Federal Police going to do
against Olavo
de Carvalho, the most prominent advocate of the Inquisition revisionism in
Brazil?
In Brazil, pro-Inquisition feelings are uncommon
among evangelicals and Pentecostals, but common among Carvalho’s Catholic
adherents.
Allan dos Santos, one of the main Catholic
supporters of Carvalho’s revisionism, has also, as Tupirani did, called me a
“coward” in one of his YouTube videos. He
was also targeted by an investigation of the Brazilian Federal Police in 2020
for fake news, but he fled to the U.S. before being arrested.
True cowardice is to pray for a new
Holocaust and to defend the nasty fake news that the Inquisition did not torture
and kill multitudes of innocent Jews.
