(Jewish Group) Letter from Sao Paolo: Amid coronavirus, Brazilian Jews face rising anti-Semitism
A conspiracy theory linking the novel coronavirus outbreak to Jews has been tied to a succession of anti-Semitic incidents over the past few months in Brazil. The cases have prompted a swift and concerted response from Jewish activists there.
On March 14, a Facebook page dedicated to the work of Sigmund Freud posted a small text signed by its manager, Luís Olímpio Ferraz Melo, denying the Holocaust and blaming the Jews for the plague of the Middle Ages. The Jews desired to, “take revenge against civilization,” wrote Melo, after being enslaved in Egypt and have been “using the fallacious Holocaust to pose as victims.”
A March 14 Facebook post in Brazil blamed Jews for the plague and said Jews desired to,“take revenge against civilization.”
“The ‘swine flu’ (H1N1) has been proved to have been programmed by and beneficial to the Jewish group Rockefeller,” Melo wrote.
The author added that no Jew has been documented with “coronavirus in Israel and elsewhere, therefore one must pay attention to such incontrovertible historical fact.” Melo’s post received more than a thousand comments, many of them critical.
