Breaking News: Venezuela's regime raids Jewish school
2004-11-29
Isn't it strange how the Anti-American left is merging with the anti-semitic radical moslems? I can't imagine any rational reason for Chavez to be picking out Israel as a whipping boy in particular.

BTW, Chavez is reportedly in Iran right now.

Sources report that this morning at around 6.30AM, 25 police officers raided in Caracas the Jewish school known as Colegio Hebraica. Students were meant to start classes at 7AM. Due to the 'procedure' that still goes on, classes have been suspended. The school is attended by 1.500 youngsters and children. Criminal-turned-judge Maikel Moreno gave the order to raid the premises. Daniel Sinmack, president of the Jewish community in Caracas, just declared that this is the first time ever that such incident occurs Allegedly the State television network, Venezolana de Television, has been reporting for days now that the Mossad is behind the assassination of prosecutor Danilo Anderson.

#8  Chavez has the Dhimmi Carter/UN seal of approval. He therefore knows that he can do whatever he likes to the local Jewish population in order to solidify his alliance with pro-jihad leftists, up to and including massacres and expulsions, and the international pop-left/media/jihad axis will continue to support him, turning him into a second Allende if necessary.

It is the ideal external support structure for a 21st century dictator: media, academic, jihadi, and narco-revolutionary.

For decades, the strong anti-nazi sentiment in neighboring Brazil (especially in the military), rooted in World War 2 combat and a bloody pro-nazi uprising in the 30s, has served as a check on the equally ingrained antisemitism and pro-fascist sentiment of the Venezuelan elite. Venezuelan strongmen could not afford to annoy their giant neighbor.
With Chavez crony Lula da Silva now in charge in Brazil, and 1970s style US media-left memes dominant in the Brazilian media, this has changed.

#6  Scary. How long before the latin american hard left welcomes jihadists into their ranks and helps them cross the border into the US?

#5  Agree that the dialoge on the hard left is becoming worthy of 1930's. I find it alarming that it has become so acceptable in the "elite" circles when cloaked in the proper nuance of "Israel", "war crimes" and "Mossad". Sickening. Truly sickening.

#4  The above news does not surprise me. Tarek William Saab, a known Hamas supporter, is now the governor of Anzoategui State in Venezuela. There are other Muslims in position of power in the Venezuelan government and they will not hesitate to use this power to collaborate with international terrorists.

#3  Time to grant asylum to Venezuela's Jews.

Although I wonder if Chavez would be willing to trade them for Jimmy Carter and an equal number of Berkley-ish leftists.

#2  Right, cuz Israel wants the land in Venezueala for settlements. And Mossad would hide the evidence in a children's school.

At least when the world falls into all-out warfare, we can rest easy knowing that our enemies are friggin morons.

#1  Because we side with Israel and against muslim theocracies so our enemies (regardless of their ideologies) all team up together (regardless of how compatible their ideologies are) and side against us.

Enemy of my enemy is my freind and all.
