Anti-Semitism On The Rise

As much as anti-Semites love to proclaim they are not anti-Semitic but rather anti-Zionist, the fact that they indiscriminately target Jews and Jewish establishments all over the world proves they are both.

Since the recent battle in Gaza, anti-Semitic acts have increased across the globe, and in some cases condoned by governments themselves. Take Venezuela, which actually severed ties with Israel over Gaza (even though the fight had nothing to do with them!), it has apparently been publishing a slew of anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic articles and ads in the official press. And this past Saturday a group vandalized a Caracas Synagogue, plastering "Jews get out", "We don't want Jews here" and "Death to the Jews" on the walls. The front door was broken down and scriptures and other religious relics were thrown on the floor. The guard was also threatened with a gun. Though the Chavez government has condemned the act, there are those who think that it was Chavez thugs involved.

England, in recent weeks, has also been subject to a series of hate crimes aimed at Jews. In those cases the perpetrators were identified as Asian males, which is simply a euphemism for Muslims. A Starbucks was firebombed in London's East End, because the CEO happens to be Jewish, and on that same day the driver of a Tesco (supermarket) delivery van was attacked. A Tesco Supermarket also had windows smashed and the slogan "kill Jews" painted on the walls, because the founders happen to be Jewish.

In fact, there have been a spate of hate crimes all over Europe including France, where a young girl was attacked by teens, and synagogues have been vandalized and firebombed. The same thing is happening in Sweden and elsewhere. None of these have been aimed at Zionism, but at Jews. At pro-Palestinian demonstrations throughout the world, vile epithets have been heaped upon the Jews including calls for extermination.

There is simply no difference between ant-Zionists and anti-Semites. They are one and the same.

NO U.N. SEAT FOR CHAVEZ

Venezuela lost its bid for a seat in the U.N. Security Council and the candidates that Hugo Chavez lobbied for, in both Mexico and Peru, lost their elections in favor of more pro U.S., democratic leaders. He must be fuming, considering many of the governments who outwardly claimed they would support his U.N. seat obviously voted against him (by secret ballot) when the time came. It looks like major cosmic retribution for all his bluster and anti-U.S. rhetoric.

Venezuela might be oil-rich, but I know which country I would want as an ally, if I happened to be a foreign country.

He also talks about U.S. hegemony, he needs to take a good look in the mirror.

CHAVEZ vs BUSH

Great cartoon, by Gary Varvel, of Chavez. It says it all.

CHAVEZ HEARING VOICES?

At an event at a church in Harlem yesterday, where idiot Danny Glover introduced Hugo Chavez to the crowd, Chavez once again used his "Bush is the devil" reference. (Pot calling kettle black?). He went on to say: "They told me that I should be careful after I called him the devil and I think he is the devil because he might kill me". Sounds like the man is hearing voices. Who are "they"?

An then he had the gall to say, "But, I place myself in the hands of God". I'd like to know whose GOD he is referring to?

So many of the world's leaders seem to be delusional, and paranoid among other things: Chavez, Iran's Ahmadinejad, North Korea's Kim Jun Il. If some of these people were institutionalized, perhaps we'd have a safer world.

IDIOT DANNY GLOVER EMBRACES HUGO CHAVEZ

I didn't actually witness the scene but my Dad, who is a die-hard Democrat, did. Thankfully he isn't as hoodwinked by the left as some people, so he is in agreement that Chavez is an idiot, along with all the other idiots that have embraced him, both literally and figuratively. Let's see, Cindy Sheehan, Harry Belafonte to name a few.

What surprised me most was that 2 other idiots actually defended our President:
both Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi actually defended Bush calling Chavez a "thug". Nice to see that they were able to set partisan politics aside and react as Americans not Democrats.

But going back to Danny Glover, a fellow actor, it just re-affirms my belief that actors, on the whole, are total idiots. I, obviously, do not include myself in that assessment, but for the most part we are. Although actors will delve into researching a part, when it comes to politics etc. they can't be bothered. Or don't have the brain resources to see the Truth. Not sure which. But.... it's hard to believe that there are leaders in this world like Chavez (in Venezuela) and Ahmadinejad (in Iran) that some people actually respect.

There's a great blog on Chavez from Venezuela. Check it out for everything you want to know about Chavez. Caracas Chronicles, there are posts both in English and Spanish.
