"I hear that Chavez is such an antisemite that a million Jews have emigrated from Venezuela. "
That would be hard to do since the Jewish community in Venezuela was never more than about 20,000.

I stand corrected (although saw a figure of ~25,000 when I looked online just now).
I did see a passing reference that "Jews will continue to emigrate at the rate of 2-3 percent a year, slowly but systematically shrinking the community;"
Also heard that Venezuela accepted Jews fleeing Europe even with the US would not.
