Henrique Capriles Radonski – leader of the Venezuelan opposition – vows to downgrade ties with Iran and cut subsidised oil to Cuba and Nicaragua, should he get into power – something which would please Israel to no end.
What is more, his coalition has links to Israel, and both his parents are Jewish, though he claims to be a ‘fervent Catholic’.
Radonski makes clear his alliance with big business as he decries Chavez’s land reform programme which redistributed Venezuelan land from wealthy foreign owners to poor Venezuelan farmers. He promised to review land redistribution with a view to returning the land to its former wealthy FOREIGN owners.
At a rally in 2010, much to the disdain of the American Jewish Committee, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez publicly stated that Israel is funding the Venezuelan opposition.
Radonski is the youngest Venezuelan MP ever elected – being elected as an MP at age 26. After entering politics at the age of 25, he became Venezuela’s youngest ever deputy in Congress, and was subsequently chosen to be Vice President of the House, he has enjoyed a ‘meteoric rise through the political ranks‘.
Venezuelan opposition politician Antonio Ledezma flew to Israel – which Venezuela has severed diplomatic ties with – to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
He promised to re-establish ties with Israel if Israel would fund and back Henrique Capriles Radonski. Ledezma promised Israel access to Venezuela's resources should Radonski take the presidential election.
Henrique Capriles chose to omit his Jewish ''Radonski'' surname. BBC reported that, ‘His maternal grandparents were Jews‘. While Radonski’s mother is a purebred Ashkenazi Jew, his father is of Sephardi Jewish ancestry.
