If we were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, we'd think twice about posting a photo smiling and warmly embracing the hand of a man who just compared Israel to Nazi Germany and the war against Hamas to the Holocaust.
Brazil's president Lula da Silva accused Israel of " Genocide" in Palestine's Gaza at the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa Ethiopia

What are the chances it came up?
Met with President @LulaOficial ahead of the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting. Brazil is a key partner on many issues including combatting the climate crisis and advancing human and labor rights. As we approach 200 years of U.S.-Brazil relations, our ties are stronger than ever. pic.twitter.com/wdVWL6KQ5j

Brazil is a key partner in combatting the nonexistent climate crisis. Yeah, sure. Israel is an ally, you know.
Shameful.

I hope that Secretary Blinken also shared this message with his "key partner," Brazilian President @LulaOficial pic.twitter.com/HZYYU1sIpg

What an embarrassment! @LulaOficial is an open antisemite and a criminal.

Why would you meet with a Nazi?

Unbelievable.

What a profound disappointment.
There is no cost to antisemitism any longer it seems. Smearing Israel, calling Jews Hitler is now rewarded.
Don't you think it's at the very least a little awkward to be advertising solidarity with Lula just days after he compared Israel to Nazi Germany while at the same time claiming to be a staunch ally of Israel?

I don't use this loosely. Mr. Blinken, you are a modern day KAPO. No Jew would ever shake the hand (and have a smile on his face) of someone who just last week said Israel is committing a modern day #Holocaust in Gaza. A new low, even for you, Mr. Secretary. @JNS_org @JTAnews

He doesn’t appear to be a partner in combating antisemitism, Mr. Secretary.

Wash your hands now - this man is financing Russia through oil purchases, and giving diplomatic support to Russia, Iran, Venezuela. Best to sanction him

How about his views on Israel? On Ukraine? On Putin?

This is the POS who called Israel Nazi Germany, Tony

You are every bit as sick and demented as the guy you work for.
I assure you, all Americans will be disgusted upon seeing this photo.
It really was a dumb idea to post this photo when we should be recalling our ambassador to Brazil over those comments. "Our ties are stronger than ever."
Spoiler alert: He hates you.
