Venezuela's President Maduro says rival 'serves the interests of the United States and the Zionists'

[DavidDvorkin]

"Zionists" is the modern way of saying "Elders of Zion".

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (JTA) — The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, called the self-declared interim president and opposition leader Juan Guaido “a CIA agent who serves the interests of the United States and the Zionists” in an interview with the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese media group, Al Mayadin.

1. I usually omit

Hezbollah as one of Maduro's allies ...

Out of a desire to not offend such exquisitely delicate sensibilities such as exist.

I mean, Putin, Erdogan, China, and Iran form one pretty incredible bash all on their own ... What need have we of God's Party?

2. Good god. Is there anyplace in the world despotic regimes don't blame Jews?

Waiting for our few remaining Maduro defenders to explain how he really meant Israel, not Jews!

Sickening!!

3. "It's not anti-semitic to criticize Israel blah blah blah."

4. Some things NEVER change.

.2% of the world population and ONE country, the size and population of New Jersey, and somehow we control the world...by hypnosis, it seems.

What is that old joke?

Two German Jews were sitting on a bench in Berlin 1938. One is reading the leading Jewish newspaper of the day, the other is reading Der Strumer. The one Jew askes the Jew reading the Nazi propaganda rag, "Schumel, why do read such trash?" He responds: "The paper you read is filled of woe and distress for our people, in this newspaper, we control everything."
