"Israel's attitude toward children, toward women, is the equivalent of terrorism," said Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, stressing, "There's no other way to put it."
The Brazilian President's statements came after "Israel" targeted a series of hospitals across the Gaza Strip.
According to Lula, it is unfathomable that a location "full of children" can be targeted, alleging that "even if there's a monster inside, I can't kill the children just because I want to kill the monster."
It is important to note that just a few days ago, the Brazilian parliament expelled pro-Israeli far-right Congressman Abilio Brunini after he voiced his support for "Israel's" actions in Gaza.
During a session discussing the Gaza situation, Brunini backed "Israel's" genocidal campaign and accused the parliament of spreading anti-Israeli sentiments.
This led to a dispute with pro-Palestinian congressmen, resulting in security officers escorting Brunini out of the legislature.
"You have to be arrested, murderer, Nazi," the parliamentarians shouted. "Get out terrorist."
