Jerusalem, Israel – The Israeli government expelled all diplomatic staff from the Venezuelan embassy in response to a similar action by the South American state earlier this month.

The expulsion order was issued that the Venezuelan diplomats have to leave the Jewish state by Friday, the report in the Jerusalem Post quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy as saying.
The tit-for-tat move came nearly two weeks after the Venezuelan government announced the decision to severe the diplomatic relations with Israel in protest against Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip that killed over 1,400 Palestinians.
The Israeli operation triggered grave concern and fierce condemnation from across the world. Also Bolivia declared to break off ties with Israel.
Woohoo, go Israel!
Caracas is the capital of venezuela.
“Caracas and Bolivia also declared to break off ties with Israel” ???
Caracas is not a country – it is the capital of Venezuela. So what on earth does it mean when Venezuela broke off ties 3 weeks ago, and now “caracas” has “aslo declared” it will do the same?
I am more than confused.
It’s about time that Israel stopped caring about what their enemies think, and started acting like a mature country, and not an oversized shtetel. Mazel Tov
Next they need to pull out of the UN, and toss all UN bullies off their land. All with UN IDs should be expelled, and if them land at the airport, be put right back on a plane to where they came from.
The same with Carter and all other International Nosy Bodies who cause trouble. Toss them out on their bottoms.
I would also consider getting rid of all the reporters from those networks who are clearly one sided. If they are totally pro Arab, let them to and visit Arab countries and stay out of ours.
Yea its about time israel starts taking care of itself instead of listening to everyone elses feelings.
Cast lead…..Bravo….
Venezualian expulsion ….Bravo….
Now let’s free Gilad Shalit and Jonatan polard!
Good bye and good riddance. Let them go back to the circus called Venezuela where they can kive in their communist “paradise”. I doub thteir lives there will be as good as it was in Israel..

I think this is rather scary and we should all definitely daven that israel should soon have peace again all around..we have enough enemies (not that we can help it)
Though I posted above that it is a good thing, it has been pointed out to me that there are many Jews “stranded” in Venezuela. Some have families in the US, some in Israel, but they can’t get back out. OY!
