President Hugo Chavez said Venezuela
is carrying out a nationwide fundraising
drive to raise money for rebuilding Lebanon
and for the Palestinian people.


Chavez called the Lebanese and Palestinians
"Heroic people" and reiterated his criticisms
of Israel over its military offensive in Lebanon.


"I ask everyone in the country to give
what we can for this fundraising campaign
for the reconstruction of Lebanon -
destroyed by the genocidal and
fascist hand of Israel,
and its masters,
the U.S. Empire," Chavez said.

The Venezuelan president said on Aug. 3
that he was withdrawing his country's top
diplomat to Israel to protest its attacks
in Lebanon and its actions toward the
Palestinians.


Israel,
which responded by
callinghome its ambassador,
has criticized what it calls
Chavez's "One-sided policy"
and "Wild slurs."
