July 09, 2008 Do Democrats Care about Chavez and his Oppression of the Jews?
American Thinker has long noted that many leading Democrats seem to have a special warm spot for Hugo Chavez, the increasingly dictatorial President of Venezuala.
He is a supporter of the FARC terrorist group operating inside our ally Colombia's territory. He is a fomenter of radicalism throughout South America, a partner and good friend of the Iranian regime. In short, he is an anti-American tyrant who lately has been trying to impose Nazi-like police powers in Venezuala. He has had a high-level summit meeting with the Holocaust-denying, Holocuast-planning Presdient of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad . Just this past week, government officials have been linked to Hezbollah-helping to fund the terror group and giving its members safe haven. Even the New York Times has taken note of the increasing dictatorial powers that Chavez is grasping for ("Chavez Seizes Great Economic Power," "Chavez Decree Tightens Hold on Intelligence" ). Despite these reaches for power, certain leading Democrats seem to have no problem with Chavez. From an earlier American Thinker article : Ex-president Carter helped him secure his position by certifying election results that others have cast doubt upon. Despite various outbreaks of anti-Semitism promoted by the govenrment of Hugo Chavez, these Congressman have remained silent. Jewish day-schools have been raided by machine-gun toting "policemen"-an image that brings back the horror of Naziism. The regime even has its pet philsophers who are inspired by Nazi ideology. Venezualan Jews are being driven from their homes, forced to relinquish their private property to the regime.Commentary Magazine takes note this month of the increasing persecution suffered by Venezualan Jews who, while not alone in bearing the brunt of Chavez's megalomania, have been especially targeted by the regime for "special treatment". That treatment looks to become even more harsh. Yet, the Democratic Party-long supported by American Jews not only remains silent in the face of this persecution but has also taken steps to defend and to help Hugo Chavez by among other things, holding up a free-trade agreement with our Colombian allies - a position supported by prseumptive Democrat nominee for President Barack Obama. |
