An isolated vandalism of a Caracas synagogue on January 30th of this year fed into this campaign. Synagogues are of course vandalized occasionally in the United States and many European countries, but no one ascribes this to a government policy driven by anti-semitism. With Chávez they do. In the American media, the lead up to the Venezuelan vote was never far removed from the alleged "Jewish" issue.
"Despite the government’s efforts to put the [synagogue] controversy to rest," the New York Times wrote a few days before the referendum vote, "a sense of dread still lingers among Venezuela’s 12,000 to 14,000 Jews."13
Those responsible for that attack on the synagogue were rounded up within days.

The Zionist hate machine was reduced to shameful silence. Of course, not much was said of this in the MSM.
History will judge the west and its quisling leaders harshly over the Gaza genocide. Chavez and Bolivian leader Evo Morales were the only leaders with the balls to break off diplomatic ties with Israel. Brown, Sarkozy, Merkel, Harper, Rudd---none of these cowards are worth the little pinky of real leaders like Chavez and Morales.
