Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan President and Castro worshipper supported by Jimmah, has been forging relations with certain Middle Eastern powers. Argentina has just asked him to recall his Ambassador in Buenos Aires, Roger Capella.
Mr Capella is accused of supporting former Housing Secretary Luis D’Elia.
Mr D’Elia was fired for criticising an international arrest warrant for eight Iranian former cabinet ministers issued by Argentine prosecutors.
The warrants were issued over the ex-ministers’ alleged involvement in a bomb attack on a Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires in 1994, in which 85 people were killed.
Correspondents say this is the latest in string of diplomatic incidents involving the Venezuelan ambassador.
The then Iranian authorities have been accused of directing Lebanese militia group Hezbollah to carry out the attack.
Iran has rejected the charges, describing it as a “Zionist plot”.*
Hezbollah has also denied its involvement in the attack.
The blast reduced the seven-storey Jewish-Argentine Mutual Association community centre to rubble.
No-one has ever been convicted of the attack, but the current government has said it is determined to secure justice.
Over the years, the case has been marked by rumours of cover-ups and accusations of incompetence, but little in the way of hard evidence.
Minor figures have been named, including a policeman who sold the van used in the attack, but no-one has been convicted.
Local Jewish groups have long said the bombing bore the hallmarks of Iranian-backed Islamic militants.
The 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which killed 29 people, also remains unsolved.
*Jews are notorious for blowing themselves up when they can’t find Palestinians to do it for them

It continues to amaze me that the muslim radical powers that beanie can soak us with that tired tripe about the “Zionist conspracy” and get a small, mindless, overly screachy cadre of Tin Hat lunatics to buy it. Geez, when in doubt, always blame the joooos as they have broad shoulders for this kind of stuff.
This is the flip side of teh intertubes. What used to be conspiracies distributed by mailers, posters and occasional poorly attended demostrations can now be whipped around the world like a tequilla infused wildfire. I don’t doubt at this point that some sadsack is crunching a website right now for the Balloon Fence Missile Defense Initiative. If the jooos were responsible for every plot that has been attributed to them, they would have conquered the world ten times over by now.
So why do their civilians keep getting blown up by bombers and missiles? Because they want it that way!
Sheesh!
Mr. Potato Head Chavez makes friends in all the wrong places while he can’t even feed his own people. But he is, of course, the darling of activists world wide.
The only thing missing are the clown cars.
Who benefits from blown up Jews?
Damned Zionists, always making the Muslims look bad.
Well, yeah. But you guys are forgetting the Masons and the Vatican. Particularly Opus Dei.
Sheesh, I just got email from an Odd Fellow and a Rotarian, miffed that I didn’t include them.
Dan! Dan! You left out the Rastafarians!
damned pot-headed imperialists…
With Hugo Chavez as Emperor, Venezuela doesn’t need a court jester! Long live the idiot Chavez–he makes most everyone else look smart, even jimmah!
Al Fin–
Checked out your house. Nice place.
Maybe they should stop trying to control the entire world’s money supply then.
*sigh*
Remember when the U.S. had some inflience in South America?
monky–
When was that?
Balloon Fence Boy inserts tape … checks the sound … adjusts the speakers … and …
Bash America topic in 4…3…2…1
Old Faithful, sun rising in the east, jihadists hiding behind civilians…
Maybe they should stop trying to control the entire world’s money supply then.
Would somebody please get ahold of the Elders and tell them I need a raise. I’ve tried the rabbinical cell phone , but all I get is voicemail.
Uh oh! That includes all of China’s money!
I wonder if Balloon Fence Boy knows about this? It might seriously interfere with their plans to Rule the World!!!
Sorry, just wanted to use the bold key…
The only thing missing are the clown cars.
And the goofy giant shoes.
