without fire, but then in South america dont always need the fire. Why would Israelis want to assinate the Bolivian prez, or have i missed something? The lucky one was deported.

5. Enough of this coca chewing little tyrant!
Yosi M. ,   GiloJerusalem Israel   (04.23.09)
Where are the proper agencies when you need them? This bozo, as well as the idiot in Venezuela should have been taken care of a long time ago. The article is correct, there is no real rule of law in Bolivia. It's open to the highest bidder. I guess that if we paid them enough, they would release these tourists. Kind of reminds one of Somalia.
6. Guys we are talking about Bolivia NOT Venezuela!
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (04.23.09)
Or did I miss something ?
7. chew on this
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.23.09)
Israel's appeasment and surrender of land for 'peace' has not brought it the deserved kindness and support of the nations but global disdain and rejection. Your weakness for no peace has had the opposite effect ,better grow some sharp teeth if you want to survive ! Cuddly loveable Jews always get this kind of treatement and worse.
8. Sounds like Venezuela's anti-Semitism has crossed border
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (04.23.09)
Under Chavez, Venezuela's Jewish institutions have suffered several attacks by police authorities. And where Venezuela leads, Columbia - also under "socialist" rule - now follows.
9. alliance of catholics and muslims
petra ,   united States   (04.23.09)
in the vain persuit of rounding up more Jews, once again. The vatican should be sooooo proud.
10. HIzbullahs infiltration of LA with Chavez & Iran help
Bernard Ross ,   St anns bay, jamaica   (04.23.09)
11. This is not anti-Semitism
Benzy   (04.23.09)
This has nothing to do with hatred for Jews. The raid was on the Chabbad House, not on the Jewish community. And it was targeted, not because it is associated (erroneously) with Jews, but because - like most Chabbad Houses - it probably serves as a gathering place for expatriated Israelis, and especially those with a criminal record.
12. What do you expect with a cocaine farmer president?

Paranoia is sure sign of withdrawal symptoms.
13. Proud Catholic
Pal Pal ,   The M E   (04.23.09)
Yes Petra, round up all the jews and send them back to their fatherland, Israel. You are not wanted, nor welcome. Petra, you should stop being a part-time jew and make Allyah-GO HOME dear!
14. #11- FYI: a Chabad House is a synogogue
Indra   (04.23.09)
FYI: the difference between an ignoramus and someone who just hasn't learned a subject, is the ignoramus always pretends to be an expert and isn't ashamed to be a liar (even when their lies harm others).
15. MORE INFO
CHABAD.ORG ,   770 eastern pkwy   (04.23.09)

16. Bolivia, Venezuela same regime=Anti-Israel
Israeli Zionist! ,   Canada   (04.23.09)
All these pro palestinian countries are not for us
17. Bolivian Treachery
will ,   dallas tx usa   (04.23.09)
Well... I guess I can now add Bolivia to the list... This is obviously an attempt by the gangsters of central America to curry favor with Iran. Bolivia is a little piss ant country who's leader exerts an unfair oppression on the people and now he has turned on us. It is time to gather up your belongings fellow Jews in Bolivia and immigrate to Israel so that Ha-Shem can do his work against this tyrant state.
18. Bolivia is currently Venezuela's junior partner
Zvi   (04.23.09)
19. along with Ecuador. Colombia is not.
Zvi   (04.23.09)
20. Maybe Obama can yuk it up with Chavez
Craig ,   Colorado   (04.23.09)
Maybe Obama can ask his good buddy to reopen the Chabad house. Don't hold your breath.
21. Good
steven ,   New York   (04.23.09)
These Chabad and Israel should be doing what there doing Good that this happened Smucks and Putzs
22. i guess israel cant be wrong in any way
chilem ,   arlington,tx usa   (04.23.09)
I wonder how many wars have venezuela and bolivia been in in the last 4 yrs. compared to israel. And every war that israel has been israel has attacked first. Now stupid israel do you think that bully talk about how you plan to strike this or that country will go unheard. i dont know about you posters but if i was iran i would bomb israel back to david if they even sent one plane towards iran. p.s. this anti semitism talk like israel is a scared victum and holy is b.s. soon the world will realize that the zionist dont even respect their so-called allies. dont play the victum and talk down to everyone in the same breath.
23. #11...
Jess ,   LA   (04.23.09)
You've obviously never been to a Chabad. I was at a Chabad center in Italy and found it full of travelling Jews who were just looking for a place to daven and a place to get Shabbat dinner.
24. Anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.23.09)
In many parts of Latin America, the presence of any Jewish facility is seen as a sign of the "devil amongst" the "devoted" Catholics. There is a reason why, after the Shoah, the nazis found such a warm rreception in most of Latin America-the Vatican's attitude towards the Jews and hitler's popes consternation that the nazis didn't fulfill "the dream." Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador - all have communities founded by the nazis that escaped justice thanks to the church. To think that would have changed is naivete at its worst! As always, when someone needs to be blamed, why not attack the Jews? The Catholic credo calls for it and the bolivians are just following their priests' desires. Sieg heil para todos!
25. gabriela:"Bolivia not Venezuela"
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.23.09)

lea/shosh ,   socal.usa   (04.23.09)
take it your not Jewish but an antisemite bigot! Who has criminal records at Chabad,only those the Islamist extremists that label them! Never Again
27. #11 Been in Bolivia, very antisemetic
Yosi M. ,   GiloJerusalem Israel   (04.23.09)
You don't have a clue. And that is thank you to the Catholic church constantly telling their people that Jews are evil. #22 you are an idiot spouting garbage. These are real young people that are being unjustly accused and arrested. Maybe you should go there and tell them you are Jewish. Don't worry, we won't go help you.
28. Gabriela:"Bolivia not Venezuela"
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.23.09)
What you are missing is that effective with the massive funds given to Bolivia by chavez, the bolivians now do nothing without the chavez seal of approval. Bolivia and Ecuador are now vassal states, related to Venezuela like Syria and hezbollah are to iran. What is happening there is straight from the page book of international Anti-Semitism: namely, something happened and they need someone to blame. Who better than the Jews? Just ask a local priest or imam!
29. Because this again exposes international AntiSemitism
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.23.09)
It is another article you will never see in haaretz
30.  chabad center is looking for free pupliciti
