Publications of the government&#8217;s cultural ministry run articles entitled &#8221;the Jewish Question,&#8221; along with a Jewish star superimposed over a swastika.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Jewish Question&#8221; for Pete&#8217;s sake. I guess we can assume that Chavez will begin to blame the Jews for all of the poverty in Venezuela and send his <em>chavistas<\/em> into the streets for Noche de Cristal, a tropical version of <em>Kristal Nacht<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The government-controlled press even gets in on the fun;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One 2006 article in El Diario de Caracas debates whether it will be necessary to &#8221;expel [the Jews] from the country.&#8221; Another article in the Diario, VEA accuses Jews of being involved in the murder of a government prosecutor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What about the other 12,000 murders in Venezuela last year? Did the Jews commit those, too? I think it&#8217;s instructive to see how Chavez shifts blame around to every group without a little introspective look at his own leadership. His cabinet &#8220;shake-up&#8221; presents no chance for change in Venezuela. According to Daniel, of Venezuela News and Views, &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com\/2008\/01\/lets-start-with-chavez-new-cabinet.html\">there is nothing &#8220;new&#8221; in this cabinet<\/a>&#8220;. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.salon.com\/0001330\/2008\/01\/08.html#a3796\">The Devil&#8217;s Excrement<\/a> writes that Chavez has finally taken notice of his murder rate;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First of all, last Sunday, in his Sunday variety shows, Hugo Chavez mentioned f<span style=\"font-style: italic\">or the first time<\/span> the crime problem. Yes, after exactly 86,452 homicides since Hugo Chavez took over, he mentioned a problem as important as that for the first time. Here is a guy that has found time to call Bush the devil, spent weeks and resources on rescuing Colombian hostages and has traveled all over the world &#8220;solving&#8221; the world&#8217;s problems, and he finally dared mentioned the problem that is the number one concern of all Venezuelans: Crime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the murder rate will fall now that it&#8217;s caught the attention of Chavez, but if I were a Venezuelan Jew, I&#8217;d be stretched out on Panama&#8217;s Playa Coronado while Chavez cleans up the streets.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/english.pravda.ru\/society\/showbiz\/09-01-2008\/103318-naomi_campbell_chavez-0\">Pravda<\/a> reports on Chevez&#8217; latest interview with airhead Naomi Campbell;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Campbell and Chavez did not talk about politics only. The model asked the Venezuelan president to name the most stylish world leader. Chavez chose Cuba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Fidel Castro. &#8220;Fidel, of course! His uniform is impeccable. His boots are polished, his beard is elegant,&#8221; Chavez said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, Castro can afford the best mortician in Cuba to do him up, I suppose. I&#8217;ll bet Christina Kirschner is a little jealous. The stubby little mariposa must have all of his mirrors covered in the palace;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Campbell asked if Chavez would appear topless in photos as Russian President Vladimir Putin has done. &#8220;Why not ?&#8221; he said. &#8221; Touch my muscles !&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And of course, what article about the Hollywood knuckleheads and Chavez would be complete without the knuckleheads&#8217; expert political analysis of Chavez;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I found him to be fearless, but not threatening or unreasonable,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I hope Venezuela&#8217;s relations with America will improve in the immediate future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope Chavez&#8217; relations with his own people improve in the immediate future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jewish Venezuelans are worried about the Venezuelan government, according to an article in the Miami Herald &hellip; <a title=\"Chavez the facist\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1065\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chavez the facist<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,17,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foreign-policy","category-hugo-chavez","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
