Comparing Israel to Nazis is 'an embarrassment and disgrace and a serious antisemitic attack,' Foreign Min. Israel Katz tells Brazil's Amb. Federico Mayer.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz (Likud) on Monday morning called the Brazilian Ambassador Federico Mayer for a reprimand after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva compared Israel to the Nazis.
The reprimand took place at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem.
During the meeting, Katz showed Mayer the list of names of Jews murdered in the Holocaust, including members of his own family.
"I called you to the place which more than anywhere else testifies to everything the Nazis and Hitler did to the Jews, among them my family members," Katz said. "The comparison between the just war that Israel is fighting against Hamas and the horrors perpetrated by Hitler and the Nazis is an embarrassment and disgrace and a serious antisemitic attack."
