Two families who fled from Venezuela landed at Ben-Gurion on Wednesday amidst hundreds of olim from other countries. They received clandestine assistance to leave the country from the Jewish Agency.
Venezuela, a once-wealthy country has descended into crisis over the past few years, with the current situation being total anarchy and economic destitution. The Jewish community, which included 25,000 members in the 1990s is down to about 4,000 members, with most Jews immigrating to the US, Mexico, Panama or other countries. Only about 12% immigrate to Israel, according to Jewish Agency chairman Yitzchak Herzog.
"We had to leave Venezuela," Avraham Ben Dayan, who immigrated to Israel with his wife and three children, told Ynet on Wednesday. "For three or four years now, the economic situation is not normal. The most basic things are missing, such as diapers for children and toilet paper, and it's also a very dangerous place."
Although Avraham had wanted to immigrate to Israel for a long time, his wife was reluctant to move. However, that changed following a power outage in Caracas six months ago. "It lasted for two days. They didn't update residents about anything. Those were very frightening days because there was nothing to buy. It wasn't possible to leave the house at all. There was real anarchy - people robbed the stores and if you had to buy something it cost a lot of money."
"We were eight siblings in Venezeula until a year ago. Today, I'm the last one to leave."

They could be Manuro’s propaganda ministers.
So what's an "Olim"?
A bee Keeper?
A tennis player?
A hand-soap model?
A porn star?
A dog walker?
A shoe-shine boy?
WTF an OLIM?
The word olim refers generally to immigrants but is linked specifically to the Hebrew concept of aliyah—a term used to refer to the immigration of Jewish people to Israel: those who ‘make aliyah’ are referred to as olim.

Did they support Chavez? I’m personally sick of all the folks who now regret what Venezuela has turned into unless they tell us that they knew this would happen. I seem to remember happy crowds around the stupid, vulgar Chavez, egging him on to victory.
That said, the best boss of my life has made aliyah to Jerusalem and I wish his much love and happiness. (He’s a Californian - couldn’t get out fast enough it seems!)
All we have to do is go along with The Squad and the other anti-America leftist revolutionaries in the democrat party, ban coal, gas & oil, ban the internal combustion engine, give free healthcare, free education, a guaranteed income to everyone, then throw open the borders and allow an unlimited number of sick, poor and oppressed foreigners to flood in to enjoy our free milk and honey and we too can be Venezuela.

But that would required the dreaded clicking on links, n’ stuff.
[ ‘There is no food, only anti-Semitism,’ Venezuelans make aliyah ]
Well when liberals are in power.....
They act like the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
Just sayin’ ..... there’s history .....
I’m sure HG is smart enough to do a secure web search for himself.
He just gets a kick out of being a smartass.
At least the Jewish Agency took some definitive action. Catholic Relief Services, the oh so politically correct, globalist “charity” funded by the donations of faithful Catholics, has not done much to bring food or any solace to the starving and oppressed Catholics in Venezuela.
Just for you, Humble. Someone who has moved to Israel is an Oleh. Several people who have moved to Israel are Olim. If you are really that curious, get a modern Hebrew dictionary.
Oooh! Ah kin hardly wait!
No food? Blame Jooos! Workers’ paradise.
I was about to say, one last card to play....
IT VAS DA JOOOOOOOOOOZ!!!!!
Hey Jim!
How ya feeling? Hope all is well with you and yours. Thank you for the forum.
Respectfully yours, Concentrate.
BTW, this is the ONLY place I post. It’s the only one worth it.
Thank you for the education.(Not that I agree with what everyone says...)
If they had, there’d be anti-Catholic sentiments in the streets. Part of the addiction to socialism. Those helping are just deflecting their guilt for causing the problem. They are probably blocking real relief to keep everyone looking to them. Don’t fix the problem. Fix the blame.
I’m sorry, but I’m supposed to fell back re: those in Venezuela?? The same that couldn’t read the CLEAR\flashing signs?? When the rest of their countrymen were voting, not pro-Venezuela, but pro-*FREE*??
Well, you got the govt you didn’t fight against. The same warning goes for We here in the U.S. (just WHERE is (R)N(C)\lesser-of-two???)
Feeling great and we’re all well here. Thanks. FReepers are the absolute greatest!
