Chief rabbi criticizes Brazil for Ahmadinejad visit

Published: 10.21.09, 00:08 / Israel News

Jewish leaders on Tuesday criticized Brazil's plans to receive Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next month and urged the South American nation to condemn his denial of the Holocaust and "support of international terrorism."

 

"For us, it is very sad to know that Brazil will receive a man who publicly says he wants to destroy our country," Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger told reporters after meeting with Brazil's Senate chief, Jose Sarney. Metzger, who participated in a religious seminar in the capital, Brasilia, urged Brazilian authorities to call off the visit. (Reuters)
