Chavez expounds upon the Middle East crisis
I think it is particularly important to forward this bulletin as it represents a world leader brave enough to talk openly about what is going on in the Middle East.
Now, I think it is even more important to say the following: many people disagree with Chavez and his policies for Venezuela and Latin America. However, it doesn't mean that he is wrong about the Middle East. You can't just dismiss what he says just because you don't like him. If you have personal feelings about Chavez, it doesn't mean you should disregard everything he says. More importantly, make sure your opinions about Chavez come from your OWN research about his policies and not from the opinions of others - especially the US media or government. After all, it was Chavez who offered discounted energy prices to low income Americans...

CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday renewed his criticism of Israel's military offensive in Lebanon, calling it a new Holocaust.
Chavez's comments in his weekly radio and TV broadcast came three days after he said he was recalling Venezuela's top diplomat to Israel to express his government's indignation over Israeli attacks in Lebanon and its actions toward Palestinians.
"Israel has gone mad," Chavez said.
"They are massacring children, and no one knows how many are buried," he added, accusing Israel of being guilty of a new Holocaust and the terrorist U.S. government of complicity.
Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have pledged to support one another in disputes with Washington. Ahmadinejad has drawn international condemnation with calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.
Israel said Friday it was concerned over the recall of Venezuela's charge d'affaires in Israel, but had not yet decided how to respond.
Chavez has previously called the Israeli military campaign terrorism and fascism, and said last month that U.S. backing of Israel was putting the world on course toward another Holocaust.
