Dear Sir,

I do not have your book on hands; however I would like to emphasize the following:

You said:"... 500,000 Brazil against its Indians, up to 1999"…

So you started to count from when, b/c Portugal and Spain, the exploiters of all South and Central America, particularly in Brazil (Portugal), started the genocide against Indians. First when stealing from Brazil natural wealth/resources, and then when struggling to convert Indians to Christianity. (The Famous Jesuits).

Also, by the time of Inquisition and after, when many Jews run away from Portugal as new Christians to Brazil, Portugal persecuted them and sent them back to Portugal to be exterminated. The extermination of Indians was on still.

So it is not exactly "Brazil against its Indians. "-

Before 1999 many "special" places only to Indians were created- as you may see when visiting Amazon. So how much it was "Brazil".

In My understanding, better point out Portugal and Spain against locals in America- ending up not only exterminating Indians but also screwing up these regions to this very day, and BTW, the ones that abide islamist today. Could not have expected any better from them.

Brazil was declared independent from the Portuguese kingdom in 1822- Sept 07

Also Portugal traded black slaves from Africa to Brazil, in order to exploit. Many die in the hands of the Portuguese Kingdom.

Forget the Jews. It would be suitable to know how many- thanks to the "Iberians: were exterminated in these trading of humans- I mean, how many Africans.

Blame all on Portugal.- and they support so much fakestinians- today....
