Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has accused Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez of cooperating with "radical branches" of Islam and of anti-Semitism, according to media reports Thursday in Colombia.

"I will not speak about intelligence specifics, but we have enough to be concerned about the collaboration between radical branches of Islam and Hugo Chavez," Lieberman told the El Tiempo newspaper at the conclusion of a 10-day South American visit which included stops in Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Colombia.

Lieberman, an ultra-nationalist who is part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hawkish government, was responding to questions seeking evidence to support Israel's contention that Iranian-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah has cells in Venezuela.

Venezuelans will affirm that Al Qaeda and the Iranians have free run in Venezuela.

And back before the fall, Saddam’s intel people were there.

And of course Chavez made it a point to meet Saddam, and before becoming president made it a point to meet Khadaffi. And he made it a point to meet Ahmadinejad, to give him a medal.

And right after 911, he made it a point to donate a million dollars to the Taliban, and had to go to a lot of trouble to do it. So he has made it pretty clear where his sympathies lie.

Perhaps Mossad could pay a “visit” to Obomba’s friend?

Yeah, it's not much of a challenge to make a charge like that stick against Hugo Ahmadinejad.
