CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday renewed his criticism of Israel's military offensive in Lebanon, calling it a "new Holocaust."
Chavez's comments in his weekly radio and TV broadcast came three days after he said he was recalling Venezuela's top diplomat to Israel to express his government's indignation over Israeli attacks in Lebanon and its actions toward Palestinians.
"Israel has gone mad," Chavez said.
"They are massacring children, and no one knows how many are buried," he added, accusing Israel of being guilty of a "new Holocaust" and the "terrorist" U.S. government of complicity.
Israel's Foreign Ministry rebuffed Chavez's statements on Monday.
"Unfortunately, he (Chavez) is not known for his objectivity when it comes to the Middle East conflict," said ministry spokesman Mark Regev. "He has embraced the regional leaders who have called for the destruction of the Jewish state and I think there is a serious question as to his judgment when it comes to Middle East issues."
Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have pledged to support one another in disputes with Washington. Ahmadinejad has drawn international condemnation with calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.
Israel said Friday it was concerned over the recall of Venezuela's charge d'affaires in Israel, but had not yet decided how to respond.
Chavez has previously called the Israeli military campaign "terrorism and fascism," and said last month that U.S. backing of Israel was putting the world on course toward another "Holocaust."

Chavez is shinning up the wrong pole...and after his brief moment in the sunshine of his ernstwhile friends (spelled tyrants), he is going to one day find out it is a long way to the bottom.
Who will rid us of this meddlesome Maoist?
If Iran ever gets involved in the battle between Hezbollah and Israel, we will go in and take the Mullahs out.
Chavez will be hiding under his bed when it's all over.
Time to hit back with a well orchestrated propoganda campaign beginning with Hugo's sexual preferences for young boys. He needs to go and go fast.

| Since the entire population of Lebanon is 3,874,050 as of July 2006, Israel would have to kill ALL of Lebanon TWICE to get to the holocaust levels. Of course that silly little fact is lost on the herds of Venezuelans listening to this pinhead. |
Chavez is overdue for his weekly roto-rooter treatment with his proctologist.
But wait! I thought the FIRST holocaust never happened. Hmmm...this is quite a puzzle.
""Israel has gone mad," Chavez said"
Hey Chavez, you were BORN mad.
oh, yeah! That's a headline that'll play to the New York Times crowd! Use it.
Hey, why stop there. Call the Jews "Hitler" already.
The population of Brooklyn is only a little over 2 million. But we could take 'em all easy. Fuggeddaboutit.
"Makes ya sick" bump.
This is the kind of thing that a leftist leader does just before he triggers his own holocaust.
Did anyone else hear that Castro went to Venezuela for his operation? So much for Cuber's vaunted healthcare.
Hear those bombs coming to get you? That's okay, you never will. Sleep tight ya bastard.

Chavez can go to !#$$. That's what I feel and I will stand with Isreal.
