Delcy Rodríguez, the vice president of Venezuela who is now serving as acting president, accused Israel of orchestrating the U.S. operation that led to the capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro.
Speaking in a televised address alongside senior figures from Maduro’s inner circle, Rodríguez blamed “the Zionists” for the events surrounding his arrest, echoing familiar rhetoric long used by Venezuela’s Chavista leadership to fault Israel and its allies for international pressure on the regime.
“The attack on Venezuela has an undoubtedly Zionist character,” Rodríguez declared, offering no evidence to support the claim. She reiterated that Nicolás Maduro “is the only president of Venezuela,” despite his transfer to U.S. custody and a ruling by Venezuela’s constitutional court appointing her interim president during his absence.
Venezuela’s leadership has repeatedly invoked Israel and “Zionism” during past crises.
Rodríguez’s comments underscored the ongoing uncertainty over who wields power in Venezuela. Although she has assumed the role of acting president under the constitution, she appeared publicly alongside National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, and Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, signaling cohesion within the ruling elite.
Israeli officials did not immediately respond to Rodriguez’s statements.

It had a Zionist character because it worked

Great way to make Israel popular among Venezuelans
Hey, that’s why Mad-dummy did not like it, and called it a crime!
I’m not a fan, but she isn’t wrong. Trump is Netanyahu’s best shabbos goy and next stop for him is Iran.
If it had a Zionist character, does that mean that our local anti-Zionist trolls will reflexively now support her?

ובכן, בהתחשב בכך שאנחנו עומדים לחוות מחדש את שנות ה-30 לדעתי. ובאמת, כשמסתכלים על ההיסטוריה, זה דבר ממש טוב. היהודים היו אחראים לכל הרעות שהתרחשו בברלין באותה תקופה. היהודים היו גדולים גם אז בניסיון להביא תורות הומוסקסואליות פרוגרסיביות למערכת בתי הספר הציבוריים, שכן שלטו בבתי הספר באותה תקופה. המעשים הסטיים עם ילדים והעברות מין לטרנסווסטיזם התקיימו במכון למדעי המין (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) על ידי יהודי – מגנוס הירשפלד. אולי הפעם נצליח לעשות את זה נכון.
Nun, wenn man bedenkt, dass wir meiner Meinung nach die 1930er Jahre noch einmal durchleben wollen. Und ehrlich gesagt, wenn man die Geschichte betrachtet, ist das wirklich eine gute Sache. Die Juden waren für all das Unrecht verantwortlich, das damals in Berlin geschah. Die Juden waren damals schon groß dafür, dass sie versuchten, progressive homosexuelle Lehren in das öffentliche Schulsystem einzuführen, da diese damals die Schulen kontrollierten. Die abweichenden Handlungen mit Kindern und die Geschlechtsumwandlungen wegen Transvestitismus fanden am Institut für Sexualwissenschaft von einem JÜDEN – Magnus Hirschfeld – statt. Vielleicht schaffen wir es dieses Mal.
Well considering we are fixing to relive the 1930’s all over again in my opinion. And honestly, looking at history, that’s a really good thing. The Jews were responsible for all the wrong going on in Berlin during that time. The jews were big even back then for trying to bring progressive homosexual teachings within the public school system as they were in control of the schools at that time. The deviant acts with children, and sex reassignments for transvestitism were taking place at the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science) by a JEW – Magnus Hirschfeld. Maybe this time we can get it right.
