In today's statement, President Lula, besides disrespecting the memory of the millions of victims of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis in World War II, demonstrated a tremendous lack of historical knowledge by saying:

"What is happening in the Gaza Strip does not exist in any other historical moment... actually, it did exist, when Hitler decided to kill the Jews."

Lula ignored the authentic genocides that cost the lives of millions of innocents. Here is a list of just a few of them:

1. Holocaust (World War II, 1941-1945): Approximately 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler, along with millions of other victims, including Roma, homosexuals, disabled individuals, and political opponents.

2. Great Leap Forward (China, 1958-1962): Policies by leader Mao Zedong resulted in one of the greatest famines in history, with death estimates ranging from 15 to 45 million people.

3. Stalin's Genocide (Soviet Union, 1932-1933): Stalin's collectivization and repression policies led to the deaths of millions of people, including the Holodomor in Ukraine, with estimates of up to 10 million deaths.

4. Armenian Genocide (Ottoman Empire, 1915-1923): Approximately 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Young Turks government of the Ottoman Empire.

5. Khmer Rouge Extermination Campaign (Cambodia, 1975-1979): An estimated 1.7 to 2 million people were killed by Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia.

6. Rwandan Genocide (1994): In about 100 days, between 500,000 to 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in Rwanda.

7. Suharto's Purge (Indonesia, 1965-1966): Between 500,000 to 1 million people were killed during the power transition in Indonesia.

8. Bosnian Genocide (1992-1995): During the Bosnian War, it is estimated that about 100,000 people were killed, including the Srebrenica massacre.

9. Ethnic Cleansing in Bangladesh (1971): During the Bangladesh Liberation War, it is estimated that between 300,000 to 3 million people were killed by the Pakistani army and its collaborators.
