Caracas - Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez announced yesterday that he ordered the withdrawal of his country's ambassador to Israel in protest over the "genocide" caused by the Israeli military offensive in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.


Upon his return from a two-week overseas trip that included a visit to Iran, Chávez said he was infuriated by how Israel keeps "trampling, bombing, and tearing apart" innocent [civilians] with "gringo" aircraft while the United Nations Security Council does nothing.


He added that that is one of the reasons the United States wants to prevent Venezuela's gaining a seat in the U.N. Security Council, because "it knows that Venezuela will be a voice that defends the rights of the voiceless."

MM: An incredible concept from Senor Chavez considering the violence surrounding his rise to power. Who speaks for the victims at the hands of the Chavez regime in Venezuela?

Ironically, Venezuela has 31.5 violent deaths per 100,000 –14.5 percent higher than Iraq. It is Chavez who is responsible for “killing tens of thousands of innocent people.” The son of a recent Venezuelan murder victim explains, “The president is always saying it's OK to steal in order to eat.” - FrontPageMagazine.com | June 1, 2006
