First, I would like to express my gratitude for the invitation and for your considering me for this testimony.
I can only speak based on my interactions with the Jewish community and my experience there. However, when I visited, the community did remark that one unique aspect of the Caracas Jewish community is the level of interaction and partnership with the Muslim community there, because both feel threatened.
I don't know about incidents within the Muslim community in Caracas. I don't know about the level of that threat, but I do know that there is a natural partnership and brotherhood because of the stance that Chávez has taken towards religious institutions in Venezuela.
