Re: surge in amazon deforestation Archived Message Posted by Mary on May 17, 2020, 9:36 am, in reply to "surge in amazon deforestation" Bolsonaro loves Israel. They won't help him when his country's on fire. He visited Israel in March last year. https://www.timesofisrael.com/brazils-bolsonaro-lands-in-israel-professes-love-for-the-country/ 'A religious nationalist and former army captain, Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro is known for patriarchal, misogynist, and racist comments. He insulted African, Middle Eastern, and Haitian refugees as "the scum of humanity," attacked LGBT populations, and promoted legal inequality of women. Bolsonaro's regime has been described as fascist by some observers. Upon assuming office in 2018, Bolsonaro broke with the South American country's moderate stance on Palestine. During his presidential campaign, Bolsonaro advocated for the closure of the Palestinian embassy in Brasilia, dismissed Palestinians as "terrorists", and promised to move Brazil's embassy to Jerusalem.' https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/israel-model-191231050742080.html Message Thread: surge in amazon deforestation - dan May 17, 2020, 7:17 am Re: surge in amazon deforestation - Mary May 17, 2020, 9:36 am Why do we bother with TLN?
