“I never in my life thought that one day I would see a political party in Europe justifying the mass murder of Jewish children,” begins the statement by the Israeli ambassador to Portugal last Monday in which he expressed the PCP’s position condemns the unprecedented attack by the Palestinian extremist group Hamas against Israel.
In a message on Twitter, Israeli Ambassador to Portugal Dor Shapira regretted the PCP’s statement following the latest developments in the Middle East. “But it seems that the past year has proven that if the PCP attacks you, it is because you are on the right side of history and justice,” the diplomat concluded.
