| Brazil criticizes Israeli attack on Gaza |
| 2008-12-28 |
| (Xinhua) -- The Brazilian government on Saturday criticized Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip as "disproportionate response." "The Brazilian government calls on the parties to refrain from further acts of violence and extends its sympathy to families of the victims of the bombing of this morning," an official statement said. The statement also expressed the Brazilian government's regret that violence in the region had affected mainly the civilian population and undermined efforts for a peaceful and negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |

| #6 If Brazil had done their job and taught the Palis to samba the nights away with feather head dresses and their bare asses hanging out, then the Palis wouldn't have time to launch rockets at Israeli towns. So really, this is all Rio's fault. |

| #5 The Brazilian criticism of Israel has to do with the BRIC trade cooperation. The R and the C in the acronym BRIC stands for Russia & China, respectively. Brazil is a major trading partner with Russia and China. Hamas receives weapons from Russia and China via Iran. So naturally, Brazil has to side with her trading partners, since the Brazilian economy is in the tank or some other reason my feeble brain is missing. |
