Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Thursday he ordered the withdrawal of Venezuela's ambassador in Israel in protest against Israeli military actions.

Chavez, a vocal critic of the U.S. government, has condemned Israeli incursions into Gaza and Lebanon, and frequently expresses support for the Palestinian people.

"I have ordered the withdrawal of our ambassador in Israel," Chavez said during a speech in western Venezuela. He said the move was in response to "our indignation at seeing how the state of Israel continues ... bombarding, killing, quartering."

No loss. Israel should immediately demolish the embassy.

Perhaps Chaves is pulling his Ambassador out for a specific reason? Mebbe he knows something is comin up and doesnt want his Ambassador in the line of fire?

I feel somethin big is comin down, but what i dunno.

Makes me nervous, but then nothin I can do bout it cept watch Prophecy unfold before my eyes.

As for Chavez, he's a godless bastard, he should drop dead and rot in hell with the rest of the godless bastards of Human history.

Nuff said.

Israel should have kicked the Venezuelan ambassador out after Chavez received that stupid award from the Iranian president (http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/showthread.php?t=38628).

Yeah, that award Mahdimejhad's government gave to Chavez, that solidified the alliance, anti-Semites will be anti-Semites.

Israel shoul now strip the old embassy of anything too Chavez and turn it into a new war room.

Military action in the 21st century consumes large quantities of gasoline, making alliances with petroleum exporters advantageous.

True, but the seller wants a buy who will place repeat orders. That's Israel. The tanks and AFV's of Israel's enemies, on the other hand, habitually last until first contact and then die an explosive death, never again to need gasoline or oil.

There are plenty of other countries that can supply Israel. Finland comes to mind. Again I say, Venezuela offers SO much to Israel:rolleyes:
