Lula da Silva, ein Sozialist des 21. Jahrhunderts und als Präsident Brasiliens auch Held vieler europäischer „Linker“, zeigt durch Besuchsprogramm und anschließendes Statement, was von ihm zu halten ist:
„President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva visited Arafat’s grave Wednesday during a trip to Ramallah, where he called on Israel to dismantle the West Bank security barrier and lift its blockade on Gaza.
‚The world cannot accept fences of any kind,‘ he said.“
„Speaking at a joint press conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Da Silva added that Brazil would continue to support the Palestinians so that their dream of establishing an independent, secure state will come true.“
Fiele der Sicherheitszaun, wie lange dauerte es wohl, bis die Erben Yassir Arafats nicht nur „jüdisches“ Geflügel ins Feuer werfen würden?
„Hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli security forces across east Jerusalem on Tuesday in the worst rioting in years, as a senior Hamas leader called for a new ‚intifada‘ or uprising.“
„‚With our blood, with our souls, we sacrifice for you, Jerusalem,‘ the crowds in Gaza shouted as they waved Palestinian flags and held up posters of the golden Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City.
‚Martyrs by the millions, onwards to Jerusalem,‘ they cried.
The demonstrations were held in towns across Gaza, including Jabaliya, Beit Lahiya, Khan Yunis and Rafah.“
„Aufgebrachte Palästinenser“ sind übrigens nie ein „Friedenshindernis“.
