Jewish or had Jewish roots.

Capriles is an offspring of a great Jewish family in the Caribbeans . Maduro's name is a well known one , one young Maduro died in the Shoa . His parents paid for the "mini Holland" near the Hague , called Madurodam . There are anti Israel Jews too , not only people with Jewish roots

I Quote - Venezuela president claims Jewish roots Nicolas Maduro scoffs at anti-Semitism accusations, says his grandparents were Sephardic Jews Comment - You are a Socialist and - All Socialisms are Antijewish and against the Jewish People since, Socialism can not accept the Consept of - "The Chosen People of GOD" ! GOD is Equal to all Peoples of the World - the Socialistic wiev - that is right - but - as a Father of all Peoples of the World - GOD can do MORE to Anybody/Any People in and of the World - than HE as a Father are Obligied to do - That is the Mercy of GOD - and by this HIS Mercy, HE has Chosen the Descendant of JACOB - to be HIS Chosen People, more than any other People in and of the World. That is the Free choise of GOD and He will not Regret it. Long live the Chosen People of GOD, to the benefit of all Mankind. Arn.Sweden.

he can go back to talking to Chavez in the spirit form of a bird for all I care...because this guy is a dangerous and crazy MF. Of course now that he's claimed he's Jewish what on earth is Ahmadinejad going to do at their next meeting? I propose they duel it out and then we can get rid of the two of them!

All the more amazing because Chavez/ Maduro's ruling party vilified opponent Capriles for his Jewish heritage in the recent general election. Nevertheless, if these revelations help to change attitudes amongst the population of this staunchly Catholic country then it can only be a good thing.

He is claiming Sephardic Jewish origins (out of the blue), to deflect attention from his anti-semitiic associations. But he is well known to be a Roman Catholic.

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. Shabbat Shalom.

politics" reminds me of," we don't hate Haredim, but we dislike their way of life".

" Of course now that he's claimed he's Jewish what on earth is Ahmadinejad going to do at their next meeting? " LMAO

Israel has manipulted world opinion, especially th west, by equating any anti Israel views to anti-semtism. Many decent practising Jews have been labeled as self hating Jewes for their critisism of of Israels inhumane actions against the Palestinians. The word anti-semite is loosing its meaning simply because zionists have overused it.

To change the perception of Jews you have to change your attitude and conduct not the rest of the world ,...

Good argument!! I do believe that israelis and jews in general sometimes are provocative when they have to define who,how or what is anti-semitism.

Critisizing the Israeli politics towards the "palestinians" is done by Israeli Jews too , who will also defend Israel while serving in the army . This is not antisemitism . When criticising ONLY Israel for eventual wrondoing , it can be equated to antisemitism . When criticising Israel on a biaised way , with wrong arguments , it can be equated with antisemitism .

when you criticise President Maduro just because he is from the same political party than Chavez your cpmment could be equated with racism. Excuse me, let me remind you Venezuela was among the 33 countries that vote in favor pf the State of Israel 65 years ago. That cant be called antisemitism either. shalom

When criticising a political party is it racism for you ? When i will criticise President Maduro , it will be for his politics , that's not and NEVER racism . Let me remind you that in 65 years many political views change , that 65 years ago the USSR furnished us , via Tchecoslovakia , with weapons , now they send arms to our enemy , Syria . Let me remind you that in 67 you could see posters in Dutch shops with : Buy products from Israel , now many of those shops boycott Israeli products . Did i call Maduro an antisemite ?
