A Dictator Says

"Officers Charged in Synagogue Attack"; AP; A8

An article not written by an NYT reporter seeks to solidify the false barrier between anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism:
"Mr. Chávez, who condemned the synagogue attack, has repeatedly said he simply opposes Israeli policies toward the Palestinians and holds nothing against the Jewish people."
Nowhere has the link between vitriolic anti-Israel statements and anti-Semitic attacks on Jews been more obvious than in Caracas. AP should have quoted someone to counter Chavez's statement, rather than allow the dictator an authoritative voice.
