At Mideast Dispatch Archive, Tom Gross points out that Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez is joining ranks with Iranian “president” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and spewing antisemitism reminiscent of 1930s Germany: Venezuelan President Chavez: “The descendants of the Christ-killers” control the world.

Speaking at a rehabilitation center on December 24, the controversial left-wing president said “the descendants of those who crucified Christ… have taken ownership of the riches of the world, a minority has taken ownership of the gold of the world, the silver, the minerals, water, the good lands, petrol, well, the riches, and they have concentrated the riches in a small number of hands.”
