A lot of info to digest.
The most important thing overlooked is that 31% of Brazil is now Evangelical, and they tend to strongly support Israel. Brazil’s Lulu can only go so far in his criticism of Israel.
Another issue is Latin culture, itself.
Latin/Spanish and Portuguese cultures center on the national liberation struggles against the Islamic/Moorish invaders of Spain and Portugal in the Middle Ages … the so-called Reconquista. Latin culture, at its core, is not friendly to Islam.
What is driving this pro-Palestinianism is the large influence of:
A) Palestinian ethnic groups in Latin America, especially Chile, Honduras, and El Salvador.
B) Iran’s propagandizing through HispanTV.
C) Leftist regimes.
And finally, one should take this news report with a grain of salt, as it is posted by AJPlus, a subset of Al Jazeera, which is a Qatari based anti-Israel media outlet.
Remember, not only Brazil, but also Guatemala has a very large pro-Israel Evangelical constituency. Guatemala is 40 percent Evangelical.
