There is an atmosphere of intimidation and violence against Jews in Venezuela.

The «life and physical integrity» of the Jewish community in Venezuela may be threatened. This is according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights report published in February.

The report accuses the regime of Hugo Chavez of violating the political and human rights of Venezuelans, which has also created «an atmosphere of intimidation and violence», against Jews in the country.

Through the combination of anti-Semitic undertones in media and from public officials, vandalism and raids by Venezuelan police, and no investigations or sanctions on perpetrators, the government is creating an environment of “political intolerance” and “a climate hostile to the free exercis e of dissenting political participation,” the report charged.

My comment:

I have for a long time been of the opinion that Hugo Chavez is the new Benito Mussolini, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a new Adolf Hiter.

The new axis between Caracas and Tehran, seems to give the US similar trouble as from the Berlin-Rome axis of the past.
