here are the consequences of the break of diplomatic relations between venezuela and israel, all thanks to chavez.
An armed gang has ransacked the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Venezuelan capital Caracas after occupying the building for several hours.
They also called for Jewish people to be expelled from the country.
Jewish leaders say tensions have risen since Venezuela broke diplomatic relations with Israel this month over its recent military offensive in Gaza.

Originally posted by generalissimoAre you saying that Venezuela should have maintained diplomatic relations with Israel, despite its outrage at Israel's actions, so as to avoid this particular outcome?

Originally posted by FMFwhat outrage? chavez did what he did for ideological/political reasons, it wasn't based on whether he disaggreed or not with Israel's actions.

Originally posted by generalissimoJust because Chavez broke diplomatic relations does not mean that he is responsible for the actions of these thugs.

what do you mean?
portraying israel as a villain wasn't enough to provoke hostility?
Israel's murderous rampage in Gaza was quite enough to cause ill feelings which might lead to these type of actions.
The Chavez government condemned the action. From your article, "But Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro condemned the "criminal act of vandalism" at the synagogue.
"We call all the Venezuelan people, the entire Venezuelan community, to reject these actions, with the same moral force with which we reject the crimes committed against the Palestinian people," he said.

Originally posted by generalissimoIt's villainous behavior to kill 1200+ people to help your chances in an election.
if israel hadn't been portrayed as a villain, supported by the ''american empire'', the chances of this sort of vandalism would have been lower.
The "American Empire" does support Israel to the tune of at least $5 billion a year.
Your claim is non-verifiable; it is more accurate to say that if Israel hadn't attacked Gaza with such ferocity the chances of such an incident would have been greatly lessened (though that doesn't condone such behavior as the Venezuelan Foreign Minister correctly noted).

or so you think it would have been better if israel had ignored the terrorism just to please you and the other anti-israel (and probably anti-semitic) people?
