Since October 2025, Palestine already has an embassy in Lisbon. A map of the Middle East is on display in the main hall of the new embassy. The State of Israel does not exist on this map. Embassies are governed by the law of the countries they represent. The Palestinian embassy is governed by Hamas law and provides diplomatic services, including passport and visa assistance, and serves as a center for Palestinian affairs in Portugal. This upgrade reflects strengthening ties and Portugal's official acknowledgment of the “State” of Palestine, joining other nations in supporting a two-state solution.
In June 2025, major Israeli newspapers reported on an alleged plan to poison Israeli citizens at a music festival in Idanha-a-Nova. The intended targets were visitors who had served in the Israel Defense Forces, ie, virtually all Israelis present, given that military service is mandatory in the country whose capital is Jerusalem. Widely reported in the international press, the case went largely unnoticed in Portugal, where only two media outlets published brief reports. There were no media campaigns, no condemnatory statements by politicians, no decisive actions by the judiciary, nor any alert to the public regarding a manifestation of real and extremely serious hatred.
In 2024, during a large demonstration for better housing in Porto that gathered thousands of people, local Jews were openly associated with the housing crisis. Posters appeared with slogans such as “Do not rent from Zionist landlords” and “Neither Haifa nor Boavista.” For those unfamiliar with the city, Porto’s main synagogue is located in the Boavista neighborhood, and Jewish landlords born in Israel represent only a tiny fraction of professionals operating in the local real-estate market. These individuals became targets of similar messages and graffiti such as “No bombs in Palestine, no evictions in Porto,” seen on streets, building walls, and even on the doors of their homes. Their names — and those of their companies — were published in a newspaper of record, causing serious harm and fear among the targeted families. Children were afraid to go to school. No official condemnation followed — not from the government, not from parliamentary leaders, not from editorial writers. Despite a formal complaint, the police remained inert.
In 2023, the façade of Porto’s central synagogue was defaced with “Apartheid” graffiti. This was no ordinary building, but one of the most majestic synagogues in Europe. Political silence fostered a climate of permissiveness toward a minority that, in public discourse, had long ceased to be considered among the oppressed and was instead portrayed as inherently oppressive. That same year, Jewish restaurants and businesses with links to Israel were vandalized, as offenders felt implicitly authorized to insult, threaten, and desecrate. The October 7 massacre in Israel itself was widely “understood” in Portugal — including by political representatives — despite its echoes of the Lisbon massacre of 1506.
In 2022, members of political, economic, and media elites, animated by the so-called “Palestinian cause,” orchestrated a campaign designed, in one stroke, to dismantle a law, undermine the country’s largest Jewish community, and drive its wealthiest Jews out of Portugal, as though they constituted a threat to national prosperity. Anything was permissible. This included the unlawful invasion of the main synagogue, carried out under unbearable media and political pressure and fueled by anonymous accusations later described by the high court as “based on nothing”. It included the publication of hundreds of hostile news pieces, day and night, creating an atmosphere of alarm and pressuring judicial institutions to act. It included tens of thousands of hateful messages posted in comment sections and across social media.
In 2021, further incidents occurred and were once again ignored by those in power, granting ever greater freedom to offend Jews and Israelis. Public claims that “Jews control global finance” and “own the vaccines” went unanswered by political leaders. One prominent figure even stated he had more to say but refrained so as not to be targeted by “Zionist bulldogs.” Acts of vandalism continued: red paint was thrown onto a mezuzah at the entrance of a Jewish family’s home — a chilling practice reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. At the same time, the German group Antifaschistische Aktion vandalized the gate of Porto’s synagogue. Antisemitism spread into schools and universities, where Jewish students were threatened and harassed. Unusual? No. It was the continuation of a pattern.
In 2020, socialist and communist political forces launched a coordinated campaign to hollow out the law granting nationality to Jews of Portuguese origin — legislation intended to strengthen the national Jewish community. It was irrelevant to the government that Portugal had witnessed unprecedented Jewish demographic, religious, and cultural growth. It was irrelevant that the country now hosted the strongest Jewish cultural community in Europe and the continent’s largest Chabad center. What mattered was expelling Israelis and a millennia-old civilization resistant to ideological reengineering. The campaign relied on stereotypes, exaggerations, slander, and anti-Israeli resentment.
The Muslim Brotherhood
The alliance between the Brotherhood and the political left is progressing well, and nothing has hindered the advance of these parasites. Oil and drug money, bribery, and the patronage of corrupt politicians, political parties, universities, and media groups have created entire societies that hate their own history and live under slogans associated with "Free Palestine" and "LGBT" campaigns.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was always against the Muslim Brotherhood and views the organization as a threat to stability in the Middle East and to Judeo-Christian civilization around the world, particularly in the Western Collective and Eurasia. Indeed, the Prime Minister has publicly stated that the Muslim Brotherhood, alongside "radical Shiite Islam" led by Iran which is part of the game, poses a significant threat to global stability and to "Judeo-Christian tradition".
Benjamin Netanyahu's stance on Qatar remains highly contentious, oscillating between hostile military action and reluctant diplomatic cooperation. In September 2025, Netanyahu ordered a missile strike in Doha, Qatar's capital, targeting Hamas leaders. The attack killed five Hamas members and a Qatari security official. And 2026 began with a proclamation of great importance: the State of Israel will militarily defend Judeo-Christian civilization.
Portugal
The prevailing axiological framework in Portugal tends to disregard the synagogue Jew, the business Jew, and the successful Jew—that is, the traditional Jew—as well as the community that is by far the strongest in numerical, religious, and cultural terms. Added to all this is a hostile sentiment toward the Jew of the nations: the Jewish state.
The Portuguese socialist system associates Israel with the United States, imperialism, the stock market, the banking sector, and the Jewish lobby, not with a territory that had only poor people and camels and transformed into a scientific powerhouse, not with a country without natural resources that today drinks from the sea, thrives in agriculture, and exports food, medicine, security, and technology.
The regime and its anti-Jewish ideology. It is incompatible with what Jews represent—tradition, religion, culture, work, success, cosmopolitanism, the State of Israel. The "Palestinian cause" still dominates political debate in Portugal today. The Guterres, Costas, and Silvas, as well as the Sanchezs, Lulas, and Maduros from other countries—all these comrades and personal friends have Soviet socialist roots, as do their countries' constitutions, proudly called "fundamental laws."
What Jews produce is silenced, so as not to appear unequal and anchored in an ethical tradition that the system deems anachronistic. The protection they deserve is vilified. Antisemitism falls outside the endless categories of racism that make the elites scream and exaggerate daily. Jews don't count. They are defended by no one: neither politicians, nor newspapers, nor courts.
The "Hamas Embassy" in Lisbon was only the latest step in the "Palestinian question" that the Muslim Brotherhood has imposed on Portugal.
