Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Antisemitism on the rise in Venezuela: Hugo Chavez's supporters beset synanogue in Caracas

15 years ago By Alek Boyd

This is not an isolated event. As much as Venezuelan Foreign Secretary wants to distance the government from antisemitism, it remains a fact that this is a direct consequence of the constant official onslaught against reason, against civil, political and religious rights in Venezuela. Chavez's antisemitism is a known fact by now, and the picture above [see here for more] is just latest proof of the deteriorating climate, fostered by the Venezuelan caudillo.

Not only the Jewish people are prosecuted and harassed in this manner: a few days ago the Vatican office in Venezuela was attacked again by chavista thugs. Needless to say that purported investigations into these actions are yet to produce any results. And then some idiots have the gall to object Human Rights Watch report about the anti democratic nature of the putschist in office.
