Politically Incorrect

In the rush to get involved in political issues in the Middle East, Brazil's president makes alliances with the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.


Photos with smiles and handshakes appear in major newspapers around the world and in Haaretz, provoking different opinions.

Last week we again see the shows in Brazil, not only by heavy artillery in the German Complex in Rio de Janeiro, but also by the return of Luis Inacio da Silva, speaking on behalf of the entire nation (Brazil), recognizing the West Bank as a free and independent Palestinian state based on borders before the Six Day War in 1967.

To this decision the President stated that he was helping to negotiate peace in the Middle East and therefore met the call by Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian National Authority. Argentina and Uruguay came to this famous list, which was strongly disapproved by the government of Israel, even as the U.S. said that recognition of a Palestinian state was premature.

If the intention was to promote peace and end the Arab-Israeli conflict, the plan backfired, because the crisis will only grow, support only served to inflame the hearts of Palestinians against the Israeli authorities.

To make matters worse the Palestinians want East Jerusalem for their future capital. But Jerusalem is our eternal and undivided capital. And we will not give it up her!

And let me repeat: Dividing Jerusalem is not just split a piece of land, is giving up some of Israel's own history and heroes who gave their lives in the city! Certainly we will hear: Is no longer have the right to pray at the Western Wall! We will never allow this to happen! And to understand better, I will say in a language and Rio: "It will not roll!"


The problem is getting worse and from such statements and we can expect retaliation and Intifadas many criticisms of the State of Israel.

As for Brazil, a new crisis looms. I do not know whether financial or spiritual. With regard to God's promises to Abraham and his descendants, we read in Genesis 12:3 "I will bless them that bless thee and curse him who curses you." The biblical text is clear. But the inconsistencies in the interpretation of sacred texts, religious intolerance, bringing thousands of people to oppose the establishment of the State of Israel.

And to think that in the past (1947) was a Brazilian named Oswaldo Aranha, who chaired the UN General Assembly that culminated in the creation of Israel, a fact which earned eternal Spider gratitudes Jews and Zionists for his performance. Today in Jerusalem has a plaque in his honor and gratitude to Israeli put your name on the streets of Tel Aviv and Beersheba.

But Brazil is in this alliance with a man who says in a loud voice: "Let's wipe Israel off the map!" This must be a desperate cry to appear in the Media! Can only be! Or does anyone believe that wipe Israel is some sort of figure of speech? In my opinion this is another "final solution to the Jewish problem!" And here is Brazil is positioning itself next to that person! The error for such overstatement politically incorrect practiced this past week can only be the result of "brilliant minds"! Which leaves one question: What will the future?

The deputy Israeli foreign minister, Daniel Ayalon, said on Tuesday (14/12) that "the Brazilians and Argentines have fallen into a trap of the Palestinians" and that the decision by Brazil and Argentina have caused a "malaise "in Israel .**

If the covenants are made on the basis of national economy, to increase capital and financial negotiations, as stated, we are again the "wrong side of the force," because Israel is considered one of the most advanced in economic and industrial development. It is one of 34 advanced economies in the world. While in Brazil the Amazon forest is decimated in Israel turn deserts into fertile places. Since the establishment of Israel they invest in research and became the pioneer in agricultural biotechnology, drip irrigation, soil solarization, recycling of wastewater. All economic sectors have high rates of development .*

Meanwhile, human rights abuses in Iran is criticized by Iranians themselves. To not talk in this last election (2009) in which opposition members were arrested, coerced into making confessions. There were murders, torture and rape of detained protesters. This is the "model" of government that we want to inspire? I think not.

Another fact that should be reviewed with respect to the "darling" of the governmental system of Iran, Hamas, which currently holds the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit captive and incommunicado. Not even the Red Cross had the right to contact Gilad whether he was alive or not! Today (14/12) the group's leader Ismail Haniyeh said: "We will never recognize the Jewish state!" No Peace that will resist the lack of respect the existence of Israel.

Apocalyptic Prophecies say that the end of time, all peoples and nations have turned against Israel and will unite to try to destroy it in the famous War of Armageddon. But the Bible says, "then shall the Liberator." I can only plead and cry for my people to the Almighty that acts on behalf of Israel, as it did in the past. And ask our leaders to observe best when making agreements and handshakes.
