Well... If you're a persona non grata in a genocidal country, you must be doing something right

He's a big headline guy. Say enough imflamitory stuff and you'll get in the news.

@Billy doesn't make him wrong about Climate Change, the Amazon rainforest, or the genocide in Gaza though.

And so this makes it ok to "both sides" the war in Ukraine? This makes zero sense

I did not say that.

What I said is: you can be wrong with an allegation in the past, but it does not mean that you'll be wrong with another allegation with no related subject in the future.

He may be wrong about Ukraine/Russia, but this subject is different from Gaza/Israel, which he is right and we have many evidences of the last one.

I'm sure Lula isn't losing any sleep over this.

Feel a bit sorry for the Ambassador though, taken on a holocaust memorial tour to be told off.

“It seems like he internalized the message,” says an Israeli official who was present.

The message that these genocidaires are batshit insane and really can't see why killing civilians and children is wrong, I guess.

It's clearly not the same. See, the skin color of the victims is different! And the Israeli flag looks nothing like a swastika. You must can't compare the two.
