| Cubanization at work: Venezuela drives out its Jewish community |
| 2014-02-25 |
| From Babalu Blog The parallels between Bolivarian Venenozuela and Castroite Cuba are so many that they defy any attempts to number them. Add this one to the long list: the Bolivarian Revolution has chased out Venezuela's Jews. Somewhere, in their Cuban-authored playbook, the Chavistas are surely counting on future visits to a remaining tiny number of Jews by Jewish congregations from around the world who come loaded with gifts. The playbook probably reads something like this: "Be sure to make life so miserable for the Jews that they have to leave. But also make sure a tiny minority stays behind. In a few years, Jews from all over the world will come to visit them and provide your "Revolution" with a very significant revenue stream." The devil is in the details. You bet. The article then goes on to reference This article by Eleonora Bruzual in the Jerusalem Post earlier this month. |

Most likely to be lead by the usual socialist inclined from the urban/academic United States communities. |
