This post was emailed to us last night in efforts to spread the word regarding the horrific events in Venezuela – http://www.forward.com/articles/15073/

“Even before an attack on a Caracas synagogue in which Torah scrolls were thrown to the floor and “death to the Jews” was painted on synagogue walls, the Jews of Venezuela were feeling threatened.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s rhetoric linking the country’s Jewish community to Israel’s military operation in Gaza caused the Jewish community to step up security a few weeks ago, according to reports. And on Jan. 24, in a harbinger of the attack six days later, a community rabbi walking on Shabbat was beaten by a group of attackers before being rescued by taxi drivers.

In the Jan. 30 incident, up to 15 people attacked the Tiferet Israel Sephardic synagogue, throwing the scrolls and damaging some, and painting the epithets on the walls, according to reports.”

My friend Eduardo Montes Bradley, posted this picture on his facebook.
It made an instant effect on me, I felt compelled to express myself about recent events.

I was reading some disturbing news from Venezuela.

Now that President Bush is gone, The leader of the so called
Revolucion Bolivariana has found a new enemy, “The Jews” how original is that?

It seems that, “THE IGNORANTE” also known as “THE COMANDANTE”, is now
questioning “The Holocaust” and the existence of the “Concentration Camps”
The Final Solution, to him, was not really “that dramatic”, how insane is that?
How did this ANIMAL got elected, How “THE IGNORANTE” lasted so long.

I pledge everyone, not to mention his name anymore, just call him for what he is.
An Ignorant, “No More, Free Marketing on our account”

My name is Pinjas Blachman, I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I am Jewish,
my heart and soul is with my Venezuelan Brothers and Sisters, “Jews and Non Jews”

I believe it is time to say NO MORE

Please invite everybody to Beth Torah at 7 p.m on 02-05-2009

Our way of protesting should be the closed fist up in the air, silent and reaching for the sky,
like the one in the picture,

Anyone that may think, It did not happen, Talk to the Hand!
