Venezuela

[El Presidente Hugo Chavez]

There are those who continue to deny the connection between anti-Israel agitation and anti-Semitism. In Venezuela that pretense has been dropped.

Stop anti-Semitism in Venezuela!

There is a well-orchestrated campaign on TV, radio, print and Internet media owned by the government, openly questioning Israel’s right to exist, even including publication of such anti-Semitic materials as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. A group of pro-government journalists is urging the population to boycott of businesses owned by Jews in Venezuela.  Only 4 days ago a synagogue in Caracas was vandalized by a group of 15 armed men. Graffiti left at the scene included the phrases “Damn the Jews,” “Jews out of here” and “Israel assassins.”

Most frightening is a 'plan of action' published in a pro-government digital newspaper, Aporrea.org, giving direction against Venezuela’s Jewish community which includes:
- publicly denouncing by name, the members of powerful Jewish groups in Venezuela, names of their companies and businesses in order to boycott them
- avoiding products, stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and where Kosher food is sold which either belongs or has links with 'Zionist Jews'
- questioning the existence of Jewish educational institutions
- shouting pro-Palestine and anti-Israel slogans at Jews on the street
- inviting anti-Zionist Jews living in Venezuela to publicly express their disassociation from 'Zionist war crimes' and the imposition of artificial State of Israel on Palestine
- nationalization of companies, confiscation of properties of those Jews who support the “Zionist atrocities of the Nazi-State of Israel”, and donate this property to the Palestinian “victims of today’s Holocaust”

Say no to anti-Semitism anywhere in the world.
Stand with us in solidarity with world Jewry
