A
Brazilian pastor prayed to God to “destroy the Jews like vermin” and
bring about a second Holocaust during a sermon in Rio de Janeiro.
“Massacre
the Jews, God, hit them with your sword, for they have left God, they
have left the nations,” Pastor Tupirani da Hora Lores shouted at dozens
of congregants earlier this month at his Geracao Jesus Cristo church, a
recording of the event shows. His congregants are heard repeating his
words passionately.
“They contrived, went with
prostitutes, and when they were told to repent they said they’d do it
but they lied,” the pastor said, possibly in reference to the forced
conversions to Christianity during the Inquisition.
“God,
what you have done in World War II, you must do again, this is what we
ask for in our prayers to you: Justice, justice, justice!” da Hora Lores
shouted at his church, a small and radical evangelical congregation.
Sinagoga
Sem Fronteiras, a network of Jewish communities in Brazil, filed a
complaint for incitement against da Hora Lores with federal police,
which said they were looking into the case.
