And so naturally, the Chavez government decides now is a really good time to go after Jews:
Venezuelan Jews, long uneasy with the Chávez government's alliances with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries that espouse anti-Israel views, are concerned that the government is sponsoring anti-Semitism in this hemisphere, a prominent journalist said Tuesday.
''The situation we have now in Venezuela is that for the first time in modern history we have government-sponsored anti-Semitism in a Western country,'' said Sammy Eppel. ``That is why this is very dangerous, not just for the Jewish community in Venezuela but for the Jewish community as a whole.''
Among the examples offered by Eppel:
Venezuelan government intelligence services twice have raided the country's most important Jewish center in a vague, ultimately unsuccessful search for weapons. Publications of the government's cultural ministry run articles entitled ''the Jewish Question,'' along with a Jewish star superimposed over a swastika.
Par for the course from people like Chavez. Can we call him a dictator now?

I seriously doubt there's anything this guy could do that would surprise me.
What we need in a leader is to tell us not what we want to hear, but what we need to hear.
on this site when Pat Robertson suggested that this fool be killed. When he opens the camps will that be enough or do we wait until the ovens are smoking?
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
