Washington Post: Chavez has replaced Bush with his new favorite adversaries the Jews

February 12, 2009 El Nacional

In a new article by The Washington Post they claim that Chavez has replaced George W. Bush with the Jewish community making them his new "favorite adversary".The article named "Sr. Chavez vs. the Jews" highlights the recent actions of the government in thier "assualt against the Jewish community". The article says that the government took "fast and rushed" action following the attack. The article noted that the opposition rally was supposedly going to be led by two Jewish students and on a national internet page it asked to "confront" every Jew they meet and boycott Jewish institutions. The article also continued on to say that Chavez is not as worried about the other problems facing Venezuela such as the 30% inflation rate or the tripling of crime that has made Venezuela one of the most dangerous cities in the world, stressing his focus on the Jews. In the end the article said that if Chavez had lost the referendum he has already "decided who to blame".
This article in the Washington Post put Chavez in the hot seat because it emphasizes his actions against the Jews. Not only did he not respond aggresively to the anti-semitic attack he has been focusing his attention solely on the Jews and their actions against him. This signifies a shift in the increasing anti-semitism and the form in which it will continue to increase unless he is stopped.
