Carlos Blanco. The Universal
"When freedom, security and the human condition of a Jew is threatened so are freedom, security and humanity of other citizens."
Chávez-led regime is antisemitic. The reasons for this position are different, but concurrent, and not detract from the fact that a Jewish one does business with the government or may be part of the emerging bourgeoisie. The official anti-Semitism is expressed in various forms, ranging from circumstantial attitudes to positions of greater substance and meaning. From the idiocy of referring to "those who killed Christ", nothing secret code to refer to the Jews of the Roman Empire, to solidarity with the international and dangerous villain is the owner of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to the warning bells representing two miserable at school searches "Moral y Luces." The Rich
Chavez said some time ago: "The world has room for all, then, but some minorities, descendants of the same crucified Christ, have taken over the world's wealth "How do we know, the accusation against the Jews is a historical mentecatez, but has served to give a transcendental aspect, original and eternal, an alleged guilt of which would be impossible to be freed How to be innocent after having killed the Son of Man, God!
trickster that points not longer be effective as background music when it goes anti-Semitic rhetoric. This is the direct responsibility for that death-indeed, necessary to redeem men from sin, not just murderers but also in its wickedness have seized the world's wealth. Criminals and also rich. It is placed on the Jews to blame for the miseries of deicide-old-and new, to be rich and exclusive.
This vision, planted in veins full of prejudice and ignorance in some societies, including the Venezuelan state not serve to carburizing resentments, and political blindness. Hate
free societies live in different peoples, cultures and beliefs, amid the utmost respect. Diversity is a sign of pride among human beings emancipated. Not so in authoritarian regimes, as in Venezuela of the times. Their characteristics are uniformity, the dissident terror and horror to the difference. Two instruments are to flatten diversity: the terror and hatred. Hatred makes it look the other as an enemy, terror seeks the selflessness of the other, paralyzed by fear. Those enemies need to be embodied, to be represented in a substantive way, to have face and can be addressed.
So in Venezuela are "oligarchs", "the rich", those of the past, "the coup", "neo-liberals", the squalid, and common categories to evoke those feelings essential to have enemies at hand. However, there are enemies that are built slowly cross: the Jews, the priests, who live "in the East," Venezuelan doctors, among others. Is a selection process which involved elements of police intelligence, that the enemy has a human face and hate can not come off as a brutal spring.
In the case of Jews, Chavez is taking advantage of anti-Semitic waves come and go, and are stimulated by the unresolved problem of the Middle East. Ignorance and the interests of the Bolivarian heroes discard them from the stereotype of about "the Jew", completely oblivious to the rich culture that expresses the people, and his immense, continuous and amazing contributions to science, to art, literature, social solidarity, to modern thinking, advanced, progressive, at all times. The Bonapartist foolishness the system from seeing that Venezuelan Jews, as Venezuelans say that anyone born in Sabaneta, participate in institution-building, political, scientific and cultural Venezuela has had in its history, especially contemporary.
It is surprising how these autocrats militarists are not aware that leftist thinking, perhaps the most genuine has been nurtured by the Jewish intelligentsia forever. Partnership with Outlaw
Within the motley alliance that Chávez constructs boil out as peculiar that articulates with Ahmadinejad. This character has argued that the Holocaust never existed and that the State of Israel should disappear. The Holocaust denial is not a problem for the Iranian intellectual, historical doubt, a flicker of understanding, but a way to tear down the foundations of the Jewish state, which then sets out to destroy.
can not come to the Bolivarian leader said that is the result of sympathy with the Palestinian cause. That sympathy is a mere excuse, because they can not agree with the need for a Palestinian state and disagree with the extreme policies of various Israeli governments, not part of the screening antisemitic Ahmadinejad, Chavez and others, weave.
The State of Israel is more than one State, is the notion of home, refuge, is the ever-more than Holocaust. The attempt to destroy a way of harassing and masonry to the world's Jews. This is Chavez's alliance solidarity with Iran's delusional. There are no
course the regime boasts of open anti-Semitism. Use the same method used to subvert democracy and clear: proclaim their loyalty to the system of freedoms and make it implode, little by little. Venezuelan
When facing the regime and are Jewish, in the corridors officials attributed to the Jewish condition the root of his dissent. A representative bodies of the community are not considered partners, and partnerships under Chavez, and are known to have become part of the "other."
The history of the Jews has become very sensitive to early signs of intolerance, harassment and persecution. Times smell, hear footsteps when they are still in the distance, pick up the frequency at which the hyenas emit their cries. So know that the praise for the "brother Ahmadinejad" are inklings of what has already fallen in Venezuela and that affects Jews as Venezuelan citizens and eventually as a community.
Anti-Semitism is a problem that concerns only Jews. It is an issue that involves the Venezuelans not only because of solidarity with those who are or may be identified by the finger of the despot, but because when freedom, security and the human condition of a Jew is threatened so are freedom, security and humanity of other citizens.
