33. #16 Isreal is nice?
NE ,   USA CA   (08.19.06)
You said "if you would act nicely to Israel, Israel will be your man. Just give it a try. ..." Well nice try, but not everyone agrees with you, ask the lebanese and palestinian people, they know the isrealis best.
34. Say what you will about Hugo...
Alexander ,   Sweden   (08.19.06)
But he's the one trying to raise money to help people that are suffering. He's not the one firing missiles at convoys of civilians, after he has been asked to leave it alone by the UN and others. Genocide is a very strong word. But to the people of Lebanon looking at their destroyed villages while smelling the corpses under the rubbles, maybe it doesn't sound as outrageous?
35. #30 You are almost right.
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (08.19.06)
Correction. He doen't have his own petrol, he has crude oil with "crude" being the operative word. In fact, Venezuela's oil is so crude that the only refineries capable of processing it are here in the United States. Ironic, huh?
36. WHAT ABOUT POVERTY IN VENEZUELA
ANA ,   VENEZUELA   (08.19.06)
The of poverty in Venezuela is high and this stupid president wants to joint the middle east bad guys giving them the money that we need. Amazing. But what can we do... the muslim terror and the marxist leftwing movements are leading us to the IIIdr WW.

39. TO # 1
ANA ,   VENEZUELA   (08.19.06)
I agree with you. I think all arab governers should kill themselves and if I were arab I would also be ashame of being a culture of death.
40. #16, #26
atmawi ,   Historic Palestine   (08.19.06)
#16, please do not. Arafat was the best to Israel any Palestinian can be, and look what do Jews did to him. Israel want Palestinians to be any thing but not Palestinians. #26, always there is third, fourth, ... OPTIONS. I am the Native Palestinian, you are the immigrant.GET IT You stu*d.
41. #34 About Hugo...
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (08.19.06)
If he had the missiles and someone to fire them at (without US reprisals) make no mistake he would be 1st in line to light the fuse. He is throwing Venezuela's cash at everything and anything that is anti-American. Also he just placed a huge order for Russian jets and 1 million Kalishnikovs. I wonder what he needs 1,000,000 automatic rifles for? Since he would never get a chance to use them against the US, he must have plans to equip some guerilla army or use them to keep his own people under the boot. Don't be fooled. He couldn't care less about the people suffering in the Middle East. All he is interested in is irritating the US and their allies.
42. Boycot CITGO Oil Company
E. Shore ,   U.S.A   (08.19.06)
Venezuela derives all its political power from oil wealth. The gasoline stations one sees throughout the U.S.A is owned by the Venezuelan government headed by Chavez. If Americans were to stop buying gas from CITGO, Chavez would quickly feel the financial pain.
43. TAKE ONE LOOK AT HUGO...THAT'S ALL I ASK.
Scott   (08.19.06)
...I mean if he can get to be 'top dog' in Venezuela...just imagine what someone with a brain could do there?
44. Low class ignoramus with oil money. Macho man!!
Jose ,   Caracas, Venezuela   (08.19.06)
45. How on earth can you state Arafat was good for Israel?
Suzanne   (08.19.06)
Can you explain this to me?
46. #42 - Better yet, seize their assets.
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (08.19.06)
47.  Stalin-South American Style
Stuart ,   Jackson, MS, USA   (08.19.06)
So predictable. Israel is being victimized here because it is so closely associated with the U.S. Unfortunately, this guy is likely to be around for a while. Hopefully, he will prove to be his own undoing.
48. The little ignorant
dima ,   Arg   (08.19.06)
Oil is like the beads the Conquistadors bought your ancestors lock stock and barrel. A comodity to kill for today,but diminishing quantities and value thereon. Chavez in nothing but a little indian fart in thr grand picture. lots of smell and some noise....but no lasting impact.
49. #16 - Dont feel Sorry and keep dreaming
Sammy ,   Canada   (08.19.06)
Act Nicely to Israel!!! - May be Israel should Act Nicley and respect it's neighbours who existed before her. Israel want to be the Super power in the middle east and thinks can attack and pully it's neighbours any time. We are not the one with High tech Jets and Mirkava Tanks. Israel only knows to talk War and Killing innocent woman and kids in palestine and lebanon. They proofed that in lebanon war they failed they dont know how to fight man to man . You think by Israel doing they are creating Love inthe middleast . Israel by attacking kids and woman in Gaza and in lebanon they are creating hate among kids and memory of war stick in the mind. How you like it when you see you mother and father gets killed by israel guns and tanks. Are you going to be normal after that. Israel is the one to blame for the hate for the generations to come if they dont stop this nonsense. If you want to be reacted Nice you should Act nice Yourself.

51. I feel sorry for the jewish community in Venezuela...
Harissa ,   Argentina   (08.19.06)
I wonder how far will this megalomaniac take the subject... I don`t even want to imagine...
52. Why do you publish this trash?
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.19.06)
Why only when the crazy ones talk there's news? Why people love to hear what those ignorant selfish bastard leaders have to say? The solution to broke all of this apocaliptic leaders ego: IGNORE THEM. All they want is to be cover in your magazine and influence / gain popularity over more and more public ignorant opinion. Shame on you.
53. # 30
gil ,   ashkelon   (08.19.06)
If you are not aware of,dear teacher,weapons and planes sold by Russia are paid by Iran.And whatever his country wealth,Saudis want him to convert,buying him through offshore accounts.Asthey do all over the world,essentially in african-ameican community.
54. Chavez Is the Heir Apparent to Fidel!
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.19.06)
He is immensely popular in Central and South America. He has given a voice to the indigenous peoples of that entire continent. And that voice is clearly pro-Palestinian because of the injustice done to them by the zionists in Israel. Israelis would be wise to understand the shifting winds of worldwide public opinion. If Israel does not change it's belicose and aggressive ways it is doomed. Viva Hugo! Viva Fidel! Viva la hente de la Americas del Sur!
55. may people like him flourish
shamy ,   pakistan   (08.19.06)
v salute such true souls.may u live long
56. To #41
Alexander ,   Sweden   (08.19.06)
You're going to have to excuse me if I don't take your speculations on what he would have done in some hypothetical scenario as evidence against him. I don't think the people in Lebanon or Gaza cares if he is just trying to annoy the US as long as they get some help. Regarding weapon orders. I don't know how he, or the Venezuelan army, intends to use them, so I'll save my judgment for when or if that time comes. We have to remember that Venezuela has to order their own weapons because they don't have a super power shipping them F-16s, 2000lbs bombs and Apache attack helicopters (with the knowledge that those primarily are causing civilian fatalities).
57. #54-chavez heir apparent
Arie ,   Afula   (08.19.06)
And he will take venezuela to the same spot cuba is in now!
58. frustrated demagogue
bernard ,   france   (08.19.06)
HE LOOKS LIKE IDI AMIN DADA!!!!!!!
59. #56 - Our Goals
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (08.19.06)
"F-16s, 2000lbs bombs and Apache attack helicopters (with the knowledge that those primarily are causing civilian fatalities)." You make it sound like the US has supplied these weapons for the purpose of killing civilians. Israel is our ally. One who happens to be surrounded by countries sponsoring organizations such as Hizbullah and Hamas bent on their destruction. It would be much harder to fight the terrorists armed with tazer guns, wouldn't you agree. Lebanon should have reigned in Hizbullah. If Hizbullah didn't launch rockets under cover of civilians let alone start the conflict, Lebanon wouldn't have need for Chavez nor his backhanded gifts. It would be nice if Israel had polite and civilized neighbors such as Finland and Norway, whose biggest gripe with your country is that you spawned ABBA. Unfortunately that's not the case.
60. #1You have a right
tony ,   PARIS   (08.19.06)
to be ashamed.For while the Hizbollah declared war on Israel,the "Lebanese"people,as did the "other" muslims,not even raise their voices,to protest this selfish,act on the part of these terrorists..Did the Hizbollah think that the Lebanese wanted to go to war??IN democratic countries,the Government and the people are consulted,before such a decision is made.Like in GAZA,are the rest of the population consulted before your "HISTORIC PALESTINIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS,comitte atrocities.like suicide attacks and fiering rockets into Israel???DO you expect the Israelis NOT to counterattack??What right did Hizbollah have to COWARDLY kidnapp and declare war ???SIMPLY because they had the GO-AHEAD of Syria and Iran???and HaMAS. And lastly,if you want to declare your dying love for such a PATHETIC ASS LICKING individual,as this Chavez ,thing,you are free to do so.But you had better place your admiration in someone less" TAIL WAGGING;;and less dog lapping;;;.But your Idea about the Arab leaders is not bad....
