1. 10 yrs ago, Brazil & Syria jointly called for Israel's...
Rafi ,   US   (01.20.16)
... full withdrawal from the Golan. This occurred during a visit in about 2008 by Syrian leadership to Brazil during the Lula govt to drum up business ties between the countries... So here's the largest nation on the South Amer continent with literally millions of square miles of vacant territory... telling tiny Israel (probably about 1% the size of Brazil) to withdraw from what little territory it holds. Meanwhile Syria of course ceases to exist as a coherent country. Good call Brazil ! is there a Portuguese word for arrogance & pandering?
2. Slippery slope.Data perfectly experienced diplomat and suite
(01.20.16)
Unless there are valid reasons which there are not, Brazil cannot be allowed to nominate who they don't wish to be ambassador. He had the correct credentials and this bullying is pseudo political fighting the Israeli Palestinan conflict by another name. Unacceptable abuse of the diplomatic process
3. Dilma Rousseff
C   (01.20.16)
dilma rouusseff is a marxist with marxist ideas. marxists think that the arab palestinians are an oppressed people and that israel is a colonialist oppressive enterprise. marxists are not very strong on history. they are ideologues with a few fixed beliefs. their belief that arabs are oppressed people and exploited by capitalist western imperialists is a key belief. marxists fail totally to know the history of islam or of the middle east. they ignore that islam is in fact an imperialist religion which has wage a thousand year war on three continents. they ignore the fact that the entire territory of the mandate under british rule comprised at most a million people and the west bank territory was largely barren. area c of the west bank is still largely barren. indeed, it is the jews who have been victims of european and islamic imperialism. now the jews have finally come home to their tiny historic land. it is the jews of israel who will determine where they live and build their home.

5. Brazil is an imperialist European creation built on...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.21.16)
...the corpses and bones of Native Americans. What is Brazil? It's a Portuguese imperialist creation in the Amazon rainforest at the expense of the Native Americans. Native Americans are native to Brazil, South and North America. Europeans, Africans and Asians, are not native to Brazil or the Americas. Since most Brazilians are Europeans, Africans or Asians, it would logically mean that most people of Brazil are not native to the country in which they live. We Jews on the other hand are the natives of Israel - which of course Israelite/Hebrew/Jewish, Egyptian, Hittite, Edomite, Moabite, Canaanite, Phoenician, Philisteene, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman and Arab sources can prove and testify. So Brazilians of European, African, Asian and Mid Eastern origins have the right to claim Native American soil but we Jews cannot claim Israel in which we have lived for the past 4000 years? Very interesting. However, I'm very glad to say that Brazil is suffering from a sub-replacement fertility level just like their anti-Semitic cousins in Europe.
6. #3 ...and Brazil itself?
Harry Schonfeld ,   Sweden   (01.21.16)
You forgot to mention that Brazil itself is an imperialist creation as well. Portuguese seized the land from its original inhabitants in the 16th century. With great cruelty. Dilma Roussef and her likes tend to omit that.
7. Two faced chicken diplomacy
Avi L.   (01.21.16)
In order to sell chicken and beef to the murderous regime, the same one that bombed Jews in Buenos Aires, Brazil allign itself with the "resistance front" made of Venezuela, Iran, Russia. Brazil had no qualms in supporting the massacre of opposers in the streets of Teheran, calling it "an internal affair". All this while American Indians are killed by the score by "rancheros" to steal their land and destroy the Amazon forest.
