Venezuela expels Israeli envoy over Gaza
2009-01-07
The Venezuelan government Tuesday ordered the expulsion of Israel's ambassador to Caracas to protest the Israeli military's offensive in the Gaza Strip, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, President Hugo Chavez called the events in Gaza Palestinian "holocaust" and said the presidents of Israel and the United States should be tried in international court.

" The president of Israel at this moment should be taken to the International Criminal Court together with the President of the United States "

"The Holocaust, that is what is happening right now in Gaza," Chavez said in televised comments. "The president of Israel at this moment should be taken to the International Criminal Court together with the President of the United States."

The socialist Chavez on Monday had accused Washington of poisoning the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to destabilize the Middle East and justify U.S.-backed Israeli incursions.

The death toll of Israel's 'Operation Cast Lead' hit more than 600 on a day where Israel targeted U.N. schools and homes that left children's dead bodies scattered all over and drew condemnation from U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

#2  Sorry, SH, but Carrottop is banned under the Geneva Conventions (and rightly so), though it might be worth sending him to Oogo.

#1  If he hasn't already expelled our ambassador, I call on George Bush to appoint Carratop as our ambassador to Venesuala and dispatch him immediately to Caracas.
