Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused Israel Sunday of committing “genocide” against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and compared its actions to Adolf Hitler’s campaign to exterminate Jews.
In response, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the 78-year-old president’s comments “shameful and grave” and said his government had called in Brazil’s ambassador in protest.
Lula told reporters in Addis Ababa, where he was attending an African Union summit, that what was happening in the Gaza Strip “isn’t a war, it’s a genocide.”
