A Brazilian pastor has urged his congregation to party for a second Holocaust that would "destroy the Jews like vermin."

"Massacre the Jews, God, hit them with your sword, for they have left God, they have left the nations," Pastor Tupirani da Hora Lores bellowed at dozens of congregants in a sermon held earlier this month at his Geracao Jesus Cristo church in Rio de Janeiro.

A recording of the sermon later posted online showed his followers repeating his words.

"They contrived, went with prostitutes, and when they were told to repent they said they'd do it but they lied," the pastor proclaimed, according to JTA. "God, what you have done in World War II, you must do again, this is what we ask for in our prayers to you: Justice, justice, justice!" da Hora Lores, who is known as a zealot, shouted at his followers.

Sinagoga Sem Fronteiras ("synagogues without borders"), a network of Jewish communities in Brazil, filed a police complaint against da Hora Lores for incitement. The police said they were looking into the case.

"With each complaint and lawsuit, we aim to make public the actions that are taken against offenders so that people will start thinking twice before taking such actions," SSF founder Rabbi Gilberto Ventura said.
