Chavez embraces Ahmadinejad |
The government of Hugo Chavez has been increasingly cracking down on its Jewish citizens who are being accused of being disloyal to their country in favor of Israel.
New reports say that the Venezuelan intelligence agency is targeting and spying on the Jewish community in Venezuela, as well as Venezuelan companies and organizations with ties to Israel. “This is very worrying,” the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, said in a statement.
“We are deeply concerned by a recent report claiming that the Venezuelan intelligence service is spying on Venezuela’s Jewish community,” ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman, said.
“Venezuela under the Hugo Chavez regime has a history of harassing the Jewish community in that country,” he said. “It is chilling to read reports that the intelligence service has been instructed to conduct covert operations against members of the Jewish community, as described in detail in the
documents leaked by a website in Argentina,” he added.
The documents, which has since been released on at least one website in Venezuela, included several documents, especially from 2010, with specific information on private and official Venezuelan Jews.
For example, among the published documents are official passport information of members of an NGO related to Holocaust remembrance, including all entries and exits of the country and where the members of the tour stayed.
