Venezuela’s president said in his Christmas speech that “the descendants of those who crucified Christ” own the riches of the world.
“The world offers riches to all. However, minorities such as the descendants of those who crucified Christ” have become “the owners of the riches of the world,” Chavez said Dec. 24 on a visit to a rehabilitation center in the Venezuelan countryside.
Whether or not Jews own most of the riches, it seems that idiots like this one have most of the prestige and power.
Regarding the left and anti-semitism, there was a direct relationship in the early years of the history of the left. In the 19th century, the left was anti-semitic as a matter of course, because it associated the Jews with capitalism. The shift away from anti-semitism on the left first occurred only with the Dreyfus affair, at the turn of the last century in France. Even then, the head of France's socialist party, Jules Guesde, was anti-Dreyfus.
