Asif Osman argues Lula has more moral authority than many Muslim countries to criticize Israel's Gaza actions. Lula compared Palestinian treatment to pre-WWII Jewish persecution. Netanyahu condemned him, banned him from Israel, and canceled trade deals worth over $610 million annually. Brazil expelled Israel's ambassador in response.

Here is how Brazil is making a mockery of Israel right now. If you are Brazilian, what do you think of this? Brazilian President Lula da Silva compared what's happening to Palestinians now to what happened to Jewish people in the events that led to World War II. As the whole world knows, anyone who speaks out for humanity would be called an enemy of Israel. Netanyahu quickly said Lula demonized the Jewish state and Israel has the right to defend itself. Netanyahu then banned Lula from Israel, canceled their trade deals, and also asked for an apology. Bear in mind Brazil exported over $610 million in trade to Israel in 2022. But unlike some other countries, the Brazilian president cares more about humanity than money. And instead of an apology, Lula further rubbed it in Netanyahu's face by expelling Israel's ambassador to Brazil and cut off diplomatic ties with is. Remember, Lula also endorsed South Africa's case brought against Israel at the icj. Send a message of love to Brazil now. The world needs more leaders like this to bring peace to the world.
