Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has delivered a sharp critique of Western foreign policy and media narratives, labeling the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq a 'lie' because weapons of mass destruction were never found. He also called the Gaza conflict a 'genocide carried out by Israel' and a 'very big lie', while referencing a potential US invasion of Iran. Lula accused Western powers of telling lies to destroy others and criticized the stereotyping of Latin America as a world of drug trafficking and the Arab world as a world of terrorism, concluding by asking, 'And who is good in this world?'
