Brazil and Iran/Israel

A spray-painted sign reading "Reject Racism Reject Iran" on a street in Sao Paulo, Brazil has been changed to read "Reject Racism Reject Israel." A poll from 2011 showed both Israel and Iran as the two least popular countries among Brazilians and Latin Americans, paradoxically putting the two countries, at odds on the world political scene, into the same categorty. For Latin Americans, they seem to be mirror reflections of each other. (Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
