Omar Aziz questions the Senate’s position on the death of Palestinians

Senator Omar Aziz (PSD-AM) demanded the Federal Senate’s position on the deaths of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Omar’s speech came after Rodrigo Pacheco (PSG-MG), president of the House, questioned a possible retraction by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) for comparing Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip with the Holocaust.

“Your Honor [Rodrigo Pacheco] Could you describe what’s going on there? [na Faixa de Gaza]with the death of 10 thousand children and women, and so far, how many Hamas terrorists have been killed or arrested by the State of Israel?”, asks Omar Aziz.

Aziz is the son of Muhamad Aziz, a Palestinian refugee who came to Brazil in 1957 after fleeing the Nakba, a conflict between Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East that led to the creation of the State of Israel.
