With mass protests sweeping Venezuela, protesting President Nicolás Maduro for stealing the election, Maduro is blaming “international Zionism” for supporting a “coup” against him.
In a televised address, Maduro said “All the communication power of Zionism, which controls all the social networks, the satellites and all the power is behind this coup d’état.”
Over 2,000 people have been arrested and 20 killed by Venezuelan police following the election on July 28th, which Venezuela’s electoral authority claimed that Maduro won reelection with 51% of the vote. However the election authority has refused to release precinct-level tallies. Meanwhile detailed tallies from the opposition say that Edmundo Gonzalez likely won the election, with 67% of the vote. Those tallies align with independent exit polls and analyses by the Washington Post and the Associated Press.
Today Venezuela is home to about 6,000 Jews, which is down from a height of around 25,000 in the 1990s. Many Jews left Venezuela due to the economic policies of former President Chavez and Maduro.
