Brazilian Jews Condemn ‘Antisemitic’ Tropes Leveled at Prominent Israeli-Born Economist

Brazil’s Jewish community has reacted furiously to comments made during a television interview in which a senior Jewish economist was described using antisemitic tropes.

“He’s essentially a financier, connected to the US Treasury, to the Jewish community. He is actually Brazilian-Jewish, born in Haifa, Israel. And the Jewish community has a strong presence in the US Treasury, in the Monetary Fund, in international organizations, not just in private banks,” Batista said. “As a Brazilian, the only thing he has is his passport.”

Batista also mocked Goldfajn’s last name, calling it “unpronounceable” for not being Portuguese in origin.
