A banner of an Israeli flag with a swastika and the wording “Shimon Hitler” was waved in the face of President Shimon Peres Thursday evening as he was arriving at a conference in Sao Paolo.
The president was accompanied by Israeli industrialists and was entering a parley focusing on Israeli-Brazilian economic cooperation.
The demonstrators, around 40 pro-Palestinian locals, also chanted anti-Israel slogans and waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags, according to sources in the president’s entourage.
