Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff made the comment while speaking with local media outlets Monday from the presidential residence in Brasilia.
In an article posted on the website of the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, Rousseff says that “I think what’s happening in the Gaza Strip is dangerous. I don’t think it’s genocide, but I think it’s a massacre.”
Israel’s fighting with Hamas has killed at least 1,050 Palestinians, many of them civilians. Israel says 52 of its soldiers have been killed in the conflict, along with three Israeli civilians.
Last week, Brazil recalled its ambassador from Israel, one of the first countries to do so. Israel’s Foreign Ministry expressed “disappointment” at that move in a statement on its website.
So, Madame Presidente, what do you call what’s happening in Syria? How about Iraq? Pakistan?
Your hypocrisy is obvious.
Hey Dilma! For a president of a country, you are pretty stupid. I don’t know if you’ve heard this fact repeated about 1,000 times by Prime Minister Netanyahu – Hamas, a terrorist organization, uses its civilians as human shields!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dilma is a whirlwind. She has interest in her own rights of human timing, but then steps on the favor of human democracy. What a glitch of humanity.
Speaking of massacre: Brazil was just massacred in World Cup semifinals at the hands of Germany and, after a loss like that, this chaleria that they call president already knows that she is going to lose the election this October. Probably, in desperation, she will try any move such as outright Jew-hatred. But she is very fortunately doomed.
The only massacre is what Germany did to Brazil in the world cup.
Nebach, the poor woman, she looks so completely clueless!!!!!
This woman rants against Israel while Brazilian corruption is blossoming and the favelas in Rio breed sickness and desperation
Another anticemite!
What’s new?
IY”H bai ir
Dilma, more people die in your country on a single weekend from crime related violence. Why don’t you take care of your country before opening your big fat mouth?
A massacre? Brazil, I’ll tell you what a massacre is. Losing to Germany 7 – 1 is a massacre.
What a misinformed echhhh
She’s a looser and we Brazilians Jews will not vote for her and many many people will make sure she will loose the election of this witch next October.
