Just days after Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was announced to be 'person non grata' by the Israeli government for critical comments he made about its conduct in Gaza, the leftist leader known as Lula remained outspoken over the weekend as he condemned the military onslaught that has claimed nearly 30,000 lives, mostly innocent civilians, in just over four months.
There are thousands of children dead and thousands missing. It's not soldiers who are dying, but women and children who are dying inside the hospitals.'He continued: 'If this isn't genocide, I don't know what is.'
