New Brazil President To Close “Palestinian” Embassy: “You Do Not Negotiate With Terrorists”
Jihadwatch.org ^ | OCT 29, 2018

Jair Bolsonaro, a 63-year-old seven-term congressman who built his campaign around pledges to crush corruption and crime, secured over 55 percent of the vote, an 11 percent lead over his far-left rival Fernando Haddad.

“We cannot continue flirting with socialism, communism, populism and leftist extremism … We are going to change the destiny of Brazil,” said Bolsonaro in his late Sunday night acceptance speech broadcast from his home in Rio

Highly divisive among Jewish voters, the Conservative lawmaker — whose middle name, Messias, literally means “messiah” — won the ballot after a drama-filled election that looks set to radically reforge the future of the world’s fourth biggest democracy, leaving nearly 15 years of far-left governments behind.

For many Jewish voters, Bolsonaro has always been a dream president. He has declared he will move the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. His first international trip as president, he said, will be to Israel, with which he will seek to broaden the dialogue. And he promised to close the Palestinian embassy in Brasilia.

“Is Palestine a country? Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here,” Bolsonaro said weeks ago. “You do not negotiate with terrorists.”…

It’s unfortunate that Bolsonaro doesn’t have the same level of security that our own president has. He’s going to tick off a lot of people and that’s going to include the heavily armed cartels.......I hope he survives.

I’d say that cleaning out a rats nest of foreign terrorists is cleaning up Rio.

I like this guy. First, he does what’s right and second, he does what he promises. From (very brief) experience, we can all say that this is a good thing in a leader.

“Highly divisive among Jewish voters...
OK, I’ll bite.
Why? “


Because most Jews are Leftists first and Jews second (or twelfth). Sad to say as a MOT (Member of the Tribe), but these are JINOs regardless of nationality. It started with misplaced compassion, and deteriorated from there - now you have a whole group of them who will do ANYTHING for power, including betraying their heritage and their people (see Soros, Schumer, Feinswine and Wasserman-Schultz for starters). It disgusts me.

According to Wikipedia:

“Brazil has the 9th largest Jewish community in the world, about 107,329 by 2010, according to the IBGE Census.[25] The Jewish Confederation of Brazil (CONIB) estimates that there are more than 120,000 Jews in Brazil,[26] with the lower figure representing active practitioners.”

Jews comprise approximately 2.3% of the population. As opposed to Catholic/Protestant about 75%.

Why is closing Brazil’s Palestinian Embassy highly divisive among Jewish voters?

Excellent.

I was also wrong about ‘censorship’ — he simply stopped government funding of lies on TV.

Great Start!!! Now he needs to put in a strong 'Bill of Rights' protecting everyday citizens... and back it up.
