I have known this for a long time.
About one-third of Brazil is what we Americans would call Evangelical Christians. And when Evangelicals reach such a demographic in society, they affect politics.
Brazil’s prior president, Bolsonaro, got baptized in the Jordan River by Evangelicals.
The last election which supposedly Lulu won was supect, but one thing is clear, Brazil is as much, if not more so, pro-Israel than America.

Over 80% of Brazilians take issue with Lula’s anti-Israel comment
Herb Keinon
February 23, 2024[T]the Brazilian public is not following its leader [Lulu].
A CNN Brasil poll on Monday found that eight of 10 Brazilians – or 83% of those polled – took issue with Lula’s comparison. [Note: Lulu’s anti-Israel comment]
This dovetails with what one senior diplomatic official said in Jerusalem: “There is a gap in Brazil between the government and the public, with the public more supportive of Israel than the government, and this shows up in polls and in parliamentary debates.”
The CNN Brasil poll, for instance, found that 57% of the 800 respondents thought that Israel is on the right side in this conflict, while 28% sided with Hamas. Additionally, 26% said that Brazil should support Israel in this war, another 14% said the Palestinians, while 54% said the country should stay neutral – something Lula’s government is not doing. In the first two months after the war, support for Israel, as evident in various polls, was running at between 70% and 80%.
The power of Evangelicalism in Brazil is increasing.

Brazil is having an Evangelical explosion, and it is very pro-Zionist. You will not hear this on the regular media.
