“Anti-Semitic!”, Typical Zionist Shenanigans

In a notable case of stigmatizing pro-Palestine voices, Lottenberg criticized Caetano Veloso a famous Brazilian singer who refused to perform again in Occupied Palestine after realizing how Palestinians are being oppressed under Zionist occupation. Lottenberg claimed that Caetano “surrendered to the anti-Semitic wave” and incited “terrorism against Jews”.²
