Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro: “we intend to transfer the Brazilian Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem”
“Israel is a sovereign state and we shall duly respect that”
Jair M. Bolsonaro, the President-elect of Brazil and frequently referred to as the “Brazilian Trump,” had promised during the campaign to move Brazil’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. This was consistent with his strong pro-Israel stance.
There was speculation that he would back off the promise, as had numerous U.S. Presidents prior to Donald Trump.
But like Trump, this may be a promise to be kept.
Bolsonaro took to Twitter to day to declare:
As previously stated during our campaign, we intend to transfer the Brazilian Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. Israel is a sovereign state and we shall duly respect that.
This comes just a day after Bolsanaro announced he would close the Palestinian Embassy in Brazil:
“Is Palestine a country? Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here,” said Bolsonaro recently. “You do not negotiate with terrorists.”
Bibi Netanyahu, plans to attend Bolsonaro’s inauguration, is happy:
Prime Minister Netanyahu: "I congratulate my friend Brazilian President-Elect, Jair Bolsonaro, for his intention to move the Brazilian Embassy to Jerusalem, a historic, correct and exciting step!"

If Brazil does in fact move the Embassy, it will be a huge blow to the Palestinian rejectionists, and will embolden other countries.
Look for Palestinians to threaten Brazil, and to demand that Muslim nations do the same. When that doesn’t happen, peace will have taken a step forward.

sounds kosher to me…
what? 😉
Now that is something to celebrate that is totally more awesome than Carnival!
Is it possible that Palestinians have finally figured out that push back is building? Not likely !!
Smart. Brazil has a good civilian passenger plane industry. Some Israeli tech would be very helpful. And I am sure El Al could use some regional passenger and military craft.
Just another nazi like Trump.
Ah, amazing what can be accomplished when America leads from the front. Good to have that back. Thanks, President Trump.
Obviously a Nazi.
BREAKING. Project Veritas lands lethal sting on Beto.
Claims to have video of Beto staff discussing the use of campaign funds to illegally bring in hondurans (from caravan?) to vote.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/01/orourke-campaign-exposed-in-undercover-video-for-assisting-honduran-migrants-nobody-needs-to-know/
I have NOT confirmed, but as a native Texan I can assure that if this pans out, Beto’s hopes will be redirected to escaping the great Republic of Texas with his life.
“A Project Veritas video released Thursday night shows Beto O’Rourke campaign staffers discussing how they can illegally use campaign resources to purchase supplies and assist in the transportation of Honduran migrants.”
PS I just saw your acknowledgment immediately below. Thank you.
Not to vote. That’s your own invention.
They’re talking about stealing from the campaign to help people who are already in Texas, to give them food, blankets, and transport. If you think about it, what they’re discussing is actually a good thing; the campaign is swimming in money and has no chance of winning no matter how much of it they spend on campaigning, so why not use it for good instead? The problem is it’s illegal, because that’s not what the donors gave it for. The law is there to stop candidates and campaign officials from simply embezzling the money for their own personal use, and to stop donors from using this method to bribe candidates.
Correction: it’s not clear if they intended to bring the Hondurans in *to vote*
““… we’re going to give rides to some of the immigrants too,” said Chacon. “Like to the airport, to the bus station, like why not, you know?”
Just finished watching the 23;40 video.
Short version:
1) they are using campaign funds as charity for what appear to be migrants already in El Paso who have just been processed for asylum and waiting for court dates.
2) those campaign funds are being used to buy the migrants food, water, hygiene products, first aid kites, blankets.
3) Campaign vans are being used to transport migrants to bus stops and airports, presumably to transport migrants deeper into the interior of the country (Missouri was one example given)
4) they are on tape admitting they know this is violation of law, they discuss deliberately lying to the FEC about it. This includes Beto’s campaign manager, Jody Something.
5) there is NOT any evidence or discussion (on this tape, remember Brietbart’s of releasing info in waves to trap targets)… there is nothing indicating having the migrants vote on tuesday.
I will send a thank you card to the Brazilian embassy. This looks like a wonderful fresh start for their country, I’ll bet their economy is going to boom.
