Aporrea tries to Stir Up Anti- Semitism

Aporrea published an article in which they quoted anti- Israel comments made by Jewish people, calling it "The Jewish Rebellion Against the Israeli Attack". The historian Ilan Pappe said that operation must qualify as a genocide,Yakov Rabkin said he was shocked by the massacre and Naomi Klein said that all of Israel's economy is dependant on their "military fist". They said to note that all these comments were made by Jews who are tired of the " pretense of Israel to represent and speak in their name." As Yakhov Rabkin said,many Jews feel Israel's actions are an "extreme political error". He continues on to say that most Jews do not need Israel to act as their representative and as their Jewish "voice" in the World that they have it under control. It went on to cite several organizations including the Jewish Voice for Peace and Jewish Independent voice, organizations that speak out against Israel's violent actions. In a study of young Jews only 50%, supposedly, claimed that they feel "comfortable" with the Jewish State. A Canadian Jew said that a "Jewish State is intrinsically racist and cannot be democratic in the fact that it discriminates against those who are not Jewish." Yakov Rabkin says,"There is a big difference between the terms Israeli, Jew and Zionist" going on to say that anti- semitism exists today because of Israel.
This article is trying to present this Revolution when actually those Jews that do not support Israel are a small minority. Aporrea was created in 2002 in order to create support for Chavez and deny negative allegations against him. Since then it has become an important Chavez support outlet, and therefore increasingly anti-semitic and anti-Israel. Aporrea was hoping that if readers saw that EVEN Jews are criticizing their own state, it is alright for them to do it as well. They were hoping to create dissent concerning the situation in Gaza. It is interesting that Rabkin is complaining about Israel, when Israel is the only country that if he was ever threatened he could go to.He is lucky that he has his right to free speech, while the Venezuelan Jews are stuck in silence to the attacks made against them. Israel is the country protecting them and Aporrea hopes to convince the Venezuelans to break their ties with Israel, leaving the Jews abandoned and in danger.
