its just really funny to me that when bolsonaro visited israel during his president, he did indeed was antisemitic publicly and recently when he wanted to go there, even fucking israel was like "don't, we don't want you here" (adding in top of the fact he had a friend who's openly a nazist visiting him)
but lula saying he supports palestine made people 10x angrier than all this to the point of israel banning him, pulling back the israeli embassador of brazil and demanding the president to apologize (which he denied!) and posted a video of a supposed brazilian woman talking about how she was attacked by hamas during a rave. which is. convenient timing.
"We will never forget the 600,000 lives taken by this fascist maggot"
Anti-Bolsonaro sticker in Campinas, São Paulo, referencing the number of Brazilian lives lost to Covid. Bolsonaro was anti-vaccine and a covid denialist throughout his term, consistently downplaying the seriousness of the virus.
The next Brazilian elections will take place this Sunday.
"If they arrest me, I'll be a hero. If they kill me, I'll be a martyr. If they let me go free, I'll become president again." - Lula da Silva
This was the speech Lula gave right before he had to turn himself in on false corruption charges meant to block him from running for president in 2018. But here we are, four years later, with him elected. Spring has begun! 🌹
