The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not being waged between two armies, but rather Israel’s military is committing “genocide” against civilians in the Gaza Strip, Lula said during a press conference in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.
What Israel’s military is doing is in the same way that Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler and other European countries exterminated their Jewish populations in the first half of the 20th century, Lula said.
“What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments. In fact, it existed when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” said the Brazilian president.
