“While the vast majority of the free world decided to turn its back on the Jewish state, we extended a hand to it,” the Argentine president said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday thanked Argentine President Javier Milei for recent remarks of support, saying they “touched the heart of every Israeli.”
Milei spoke at the Teatro Colón opera house in Buenos Aires on Nov. 27, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the Delegación de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas (DAIA), the umbrella organization of Argentina’s Jewish community.
“While the vast majority of the free world decided to turn its back on the Jewish state, we extended a hand to it; while the vast majority turned a deaf ear to the growth of antisemitism in their lands, we denounced it with even greater fervor, because evil cannot be met with indifference, but must be confronted with a force of equal magnitude, yet in the opposite direction,” the Argentine leader said.
