A rabbi is standing up to the dangerous thug Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The May 1 WSJ reports that a Washington D.C. rabbi named Shmuel Herzfeld has asked the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to hold a hearing on anti-Semitism in Venezuela. A brief filed with the commission documents the "escalating violence and hostility" against Jews, "designed to isolate, terrify, and ostracize that community." One more example of leftist fascism.
Of course, we have all read blogger Jungle Mom's accounts, and we know that Christians are also at risk from Chavez and his fascist thugs. Rabbi Herzfeld says, "I think we're in the early stages of something catastrophic."

Sure do wish you'd provide links. If it's a skill issue, I'll be glad to try a little link "how to." Several times now I've had to go try to find articles or things you've talked about.
Maybe it's easier with links, but Bob did mention the WSJ, date, and writer, so it shouldn't be too onerous to find.
I have mixed feelings on Hugo Chavez. He recently gave back an island that the Venezuelan oil company was using for storage to the state of New Jersey, and has for the last few years been giving heating oil to poor families in America who cannot afford it during the winter months, especially in states of Alaska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This last winter the program was going to end because of the economy, but he found a way to continue it.
So he may be the Beast to some folks, but a blessing to many poor, rural Americans...
Yes, Bob, following Rita aka Jungle Mom and her family's departure from Chavezland and now to Paraguay has been interesting to say the least. And next year they'll go to even more dangerous territory. They need our prayers.
Setting up a socialist state is a crime against humanity and he is guilty. Socialist states start out well but inevitably wind up with universal poverty because the human spirit is squelched. In the end the very poor, who are the vast majority in all socialist nations, suffer far worse than the poor in capitalist countries and they suffer without hope.
The heating oil thing is merely socialist agitprop. Like there aren't a million ways for the poor to get assistance in Wisconsin -- which is sort of the upper midwest version of California -- if Minnesota hasn't already taken that spot. I'd guess there's not much use for heating oil in Venezuela.
Somewhere I think Chavez is laughing his head off. When did some tinpot dictator start getting so much attention...he doesn't care if it's good or bad.
