Thiago participated in 3 different Gaza Flotilla Missions. He was on board the Madleen Gaza Freedom Flotilla and the Family Global Sumud Flotilla. He acted as a main spokesperson while on these boats.

This is disappointing that he would be friendly with Jackson Hinkle. At the start of the podcast episode, Thiago says tells Hinkle "Thank you Jackson. It's a pleasure to be on Legitimate Targets. Thank you for your work. You do very, very important work to build a new society."

Perhaps that's the point, I guess.

Mainstream media portrays brazilian Worker's Party as not only Left and radical even when its not. Far from it. In its good days PT works like a reasonable right-wing european party. Hinkle's party have no meaning for brazilian politics, no US party aside the Rep and Dem have.

I'm not defending Thiago here, I couldn't care less, but I think it's more about miscommunication than anything else. But if he's a prick I wouldn't be amazed or impressed at all.
