Chavez: It's "genocide"
From Ha'aretz:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he has recalled his country's ambassador to Israel to show his "indignation" over the military offensive in Lebanon.The U.S. says it's campaigning against a U.N. Security Council seat for Venezuela on the grounds that Venezuela would be "disruptive." I sure hope so.
"We have ordered the withdrawal of our ambassador in Israel," Chavez said in a televised speech, calling Israeli attacks in Lebanon "genocide."
