Forty well-known Brazilian organisations have signed a public opinion statement condemning Israel’s nomination of Dani Dayan, former head of the pro-settler Yesha Council, as Israeli ambassador to Brazil.

In their statement, the organisations described Dayon’s nomination as a violation of international legitimacy and challenge to Brazil’s sovereignty and demanded their government reject Dayan’s nomination.

A copy of the statement was submitted to the regional office of the Brazilian Presidency in Sao Paulo.

The statement coincided with interventions made by a number of Brazilian parliamentarians who condemned the nomination of a settler as an ambassador, describing such a step as a challenge to Brazil’s sovereignty and its official political stance that accords with international law, and an assault on Brazilian diplomacy.

1. Rogue nation just being rogue.

2. Middle East Monitor is a propaganda site

Run by Daud Abdullah, author of "How the Zionist Colonization of Palestine Radicalized British Muslims."

3. Dayan is explicitly pro-apartheid. Appointing explicit segregationists and apartheidistas

to diplomatic posts will create blowback in developing, multicultural countries that have their own history with racism and colonialism.

4. I find it amusing that the lazy response to...

Mondoweiss,

Mid East Monitor,

972mag,

Ma'an,

B'Tselem,

The Guardian,

Jewish Voice for Peace,

Ynet News,

The Jerusalem Post,

...and others...

are met with the same poutrage whenever the apartheid state, Israel, is caught doing what it normally does.



And when one can't refute the article they generally attack the messenger.

5. MidEast Monitor is even worse than that...

Middle East Monitor is seen as sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization founded in Egypt and allied to Hamas.

The publication’s senior editor is Ibrahim Hewitt, who has claimed that adulterers should be stoned to death and gay men receive 100 lashes.

Hewitt runs a private Muslim school in Leicester which was investigated for extremism. He is also a trustee of the charity Interpal, which is accused by the US of sponsoring terrorism.

Hamas is a religious fascist supremacist movement dedicated to Israel's destruction & the killing of Jews worldwide.

Interpal's representatives supported Hamas in last year's war.

Interpal’s leaders regularly attend Hamas rallies and ceremonies in the Gaza strip. At one such event, Interpal trustee Essam Yusuf participated in a song that praised Hamas’s terrorist activities and its “martyrs.”

Other Interpal officials promote extremist ideas. Interpal staff member Ibrahim Dar has expressed support for the late Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki, has called for killing homosexuals, and claims that ISIS is a “western setup undercover organisation.” Interpal trustee Ibrahim Hewitt has spoken of a “so-called Holocaust,” advocates killing apostates, and has written: “The Jews cannot be entrusted with the sanctity and security of this Holy Land.”
