Yup Chebezz is still at it, wonder what he is smoking...
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday that American support of Israel is responsible for flaming tensions in the Middle East.
Israel launched its attack on Lebanon after Hezbollah carried out a brazen cross-border raid Wednesday, capturing two soldiers.
"The fundamental blame falls again on the U.S. empire. It's the empire that armed and supported the abuses of the Israeli elite, which has invaded, abused and defied the United Nations for a long time," Chavez said.
The Venezuelan president said Israel was using excessive force - destroying critical civilian infrastructure and killing and injuring civilians.
An ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro, Chavez frequently lashes out at President Bush and U.S. policy.
As usual, President Chavez is correct. By no stretch of the imagination can the Israeli massacres be deemed proportionate (one IDF occupation soldier taken prisoner in Gaza = IDF murdering at least 29 Palestinians [mostly women & children] so far; two IDF soldiers taken prisoner in Lebanon = more than 59 Lebanese [mostly civilians] butchered). By all accounts, Israel is only allowed to ignore international law, common decency, and butcher with impunity because of U.S. protection.
President Chavez, as usual, has hit the nail on the head.
