Looking For Meaning In Your Life? Hate America And Jews
September 15, 2009
Hatred of America and those evil Jews, along with intricate conspiracy theories, helps to unite Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and their new friend, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad…
The stoning of adulteresses; torture carried out in the name of Allah – is this the “better world” that Hugo Chavez dreams of? The alleged election victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is, in any case, in the opinion of the Venezuelan leader, “very important for the peoples who are fighting for a better world.” In the struggle against the “attacks of global capitalism” – by which he means the dissidents on the streets of Tehran – he has promised full solidarity with the Iranian president.
Nicaraguan head of state Daniel Ortega was also happy. By electing Ahmadinejad, he said, “the Iranian people” had chosen to “reject imperialism in all its forms.”
Islamist-socialist axis
It comes as no surprise to learn that the Nicaraguan counts the Iranian amongst his friends. At the latest with their decision to ally themselves with the clergy on banning abortion, Ortega and his Sandinista Liberation Front relinquished any claim to representing emancipatory politics.
Chavez’s support for Ahmadinejad has, however, caused some uncertainty in leftist circles. His “Bolivarian Revolution” has, after all, been firmly on the side of all those – women, homosexuals, lesbians – whose rights have been violated by the mullah regime.
But Chavez’s friendly overtures are not really surprising. Though it has tended to be disregarded, and sometimes even had the support of his followers, the Venezuelan leader has been maintaining friendly relations with the Iranian regime for years. And this is about more than just maintaining economic cooperation or his country’s membership of Opec.
Chavez, like his Bolivian counterpart Evo Morales, is regularly at pains to stress the closeness of the ties between his country and the Islamic government. During a visit to Tehran in 2005, he emphasised the “common anti-imperialist and revolutionary” virtues, and later praised Iran’s struggle against “colonialism, servility and compliance.”
Anti-Semitic propaganda
The Anti-Defamation-League (ADL) has pointed out that, in the wake of the president’s rhetoric during the war in Lebanon, Chavez-inspired groups were actively engaged in spreading anti-Semitic propaganda, involving caricatures that featured both the Star of David and swastika, “Jews Out” graffiti and the like.
The ADL quoted the pro-government newspaper El Diario de Caracas as saying that “the Jewish race is doomed to disappear”. Is it any wonder, then, that similar declarations of support for holocaust-denier Ahmadinejad have also been voiced in Bolivarian Revolution circles during the course of current events in Iran? Aznarez was quick to expose opposition mobilisation as something orchestrated by “North American-Israeli Zionistic fascism.”

None of these people hate America.
America is 35 nations – Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia included. – not the ruling class of one of these nations. Venezuela provides cheap oil to many small communities in USA and provided it to New Orleans. Cuba provides free education to US citizens studying medicine. Offered free medicine after Katrina attacked New Orleans. Bush refused.
Neither Castro, Chavez, Ortega, nor Morales hate Jews. All, save possibly except Castro recognise Israel. None however of them recognise the right of Israel’s IDF to attack Lebanon, Gaza, and West Bank.
Please stop spreading the US Admin and Republican Institute propaganda!
