Apporea Article:" How to Support Palestine in the face of the Artificial State of Israel"

January 22,2009

In an article posted by Emilio Silva,which was later removed due the discriminatory nature of it, he severely criticized the Venezuelan Jewish community. He starts off the article by mentioning that anyone with a conscience that knows of the "atrocities" that the Jews are committing in a country which is not their own is something that causes "anxiety,pain,indignity and real anger" and is enough to create just action for change that should not be criticized by those who "think they are above natural human law." Silva claims he knows the way "to shake and mobilize" in order to take action and prove the Palestinian state is supreme through "concentrated and deeply radical acts,events, and proposals." The first part explains what needs to be done on the national level. There needs to be videos that expose that "true" situation in Palestine and Israel. There needs to be a media campaign on the Internet, television and radio where they expose the terrorism that the "Jews and their European-American allies" have perpetrated against the Palestinians. He wants to denounce publicly with the first and last name of the Jewish groups with power and presence in Venezuela.For example he claims that no one should assist the Sambil Mall, which is owned by a wealthy Jewish man.His next point is that since these "Jewish Zionist's money pains them more than anything else" no one should buy their products or visit their local commercial stores or businesses. Also no one should assist the national chains that are "controlled by the Zionist regime" such as Mcdonalds, Adidas, Nike and Coca Cola.People should question the Jewish education because "they think they are a class apart from ours". There should be public rallies held in front of the Israeli Embassy and other Jewish establishments. The ZOG's actions should be aggressively controlled within Venezuela. Silva says that they must destroy all government establishments that support the Israeli government. The list continues like this with at least twenty more points including informing Jews in order to convince them to take the side of Palestine, inviting anti-Zionists to publicly rally and ask others to join their cause, and a world conference in where they discuss the appearance of the "theoretical Nazi-fascist state of Israel under its condition as a colony created from the European- American genocide." He goes on to say that from this "supposed " Holocaust, although it is "doubtful" that it even happened, we can say there were Jews murdered but it does not justify the " massive planned" murder that the Zionists are committing now against the Palestinians.
Clearly Silva is a Neo- Nazi and very extreme in his ideas.Although Apporea went back and denounced the article, it should have never been published in the first place.It does not justify the comments Silva made in a public forum like this national newspaper. The article is trying to impose laws against the Jews in order to drive them out.Silva wants to lead Venezuela in the path of Nazi Germany, by either completely evacuating the Jews or convincing them to join the cause and support the Palestinians.The ideas he proposes are similar to those during the Holocaust. Not supporting any Jewish institutions, publicly humiliating Jews in order for them to join the cause, and holding rallies against them.By the time the article was denounced, people had already read it and the community had already been further damaged. The false facts had already been exposed and there was no taking them back. It is this kind of national apathy against such obvious anti- semitism that is forcing the Jews to flee and the Pro- Palestine movement to gain support and strength.
