Israel declared Brazilian President Lula da Silva “persona non grata” - International Monitor
The president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, was declared “persona non grata” after comparing the actions of Israel with the Holocaust.
Just typical behavior from a totally normal democracy that is not doing genocide. /s
is there a greater honor?
I suppose anyone that has any criticism whatsoever of Israel in any form is persona non grata these days.
The fact that Israel has put so much effort into changing US law to prevent anyone from claiming anything negative about Israel is a red flag that Israel needs negative things said.
I fully support the state of Israel and believe that the holocaust happened, and I will STILL call an asshat an asshat. Tough shit. Guess I'll cancel any vacation plans I ever planned in their country.

I'd frame the announcement and news articles.
Lula is an ignorant asshat.
Lula told the press on Sunday that “what is happening in the Gaza Strip is not a war, it is a genocide,” and added that it was comparable to “a war between a very prepared army and women and children” that had no precedent in history, except “when Hitler decided to kill the Jews.”
Disgraceful comments.
To whom? Israel is committing war crimes, not Brazil
Seem pretty on the mark to me? Maybe the disgrace lies with those perpetrating it?

You're right, he should have remembered the genocide of Natives in the Americas that inspired the Holocaust.
I'd like to think if what happened to the indigenous American tribes was happening now, other nations would at the very least, call it out as genocide - so I don't see why you'd have a problem with someone highlighting the irony of the Jewish state killing people just because of their ethnicity. They murder so indiscriminately that they've killied their own citizens who had been held hostage. The hated is hard to fathom.
