The Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip is

 |
Deputy Pedro Wilson (PT-GO) of
the Committee Representing the National Congress
The insanity of war is not supported by the
civilized world and does not claim the right of defense
demanded
by Israel. The world cannot remain silent before such
barbarism. |
 |
Deputy Nilson Mourão (PT-AC) of
the Committee on Foreign Relations and National Defense of
the House
Described the attack as genocide. It is a genocidal
attack that waives the negotiating table and tries to
resolve the conflict by military means. |
 |
Senator Inácio Arruda (PC do
B-EC)
Criticized the death of civilians in conflict and defended a
Palestinian State. |
 |
President of the Workers Party Deputy Ricardo Berzoini (PT-SP)
The attacks by the army of Israel are state terrorism. The
Israeli attacks will feed the hatred and the popular ranks
of all the organizations that fight against the U.S. and its
allies in the Middle East, increasing the world tension. |

It is crucial to facilitate the peace negotiations in the

Condemns the attack against civilians. The solution to the
conflict in the Middle East is of two states for two peoples
as the determination of the UN in 1947, with the support of
Brazil. |
 |
Deputy Dionilso Marcon (PT)
The Palestinian people must remain strong in the resistance,
seeking further expansion of the support that has the sum of
millions of people around the world against the atrocities
promoted by Israel, especially in regards to the war crimes
committed by the Zionist army against civilians. |
 |
Deputy Nazif Mauro (PSB-RO)
The Brazilian government must take more drastic measures
against the holocaust promoted by the army of Israel. |
 |
Leader of the Workers Party in
the Legislative Assembly Deputy Simão Pedro (PT-SP)
We can not accept the justification of Israel for the
massacre. They turned the Gaza Strip in a ghetto, confined
in a small geographical area over one and a half million
people subjected to an economic blockade that condemns
people to unemployment and poverty. |
 |
Deputy Pompeo de Mattos
(PDT-RS), Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights and
Minorities of the House
Israel hits the international public awareness and is
offensive to the UN. The use of weapons of great
destructive power by Israel, the cruel siege on the civilian
population, the prevention of media coverage, are affront to
international law, the Geneva Convention and the fundamental
principles of human rights. |
