There are those who want to dedicate one day of the year to what takes lifelong struggles. There are those who want to wash their conscience with symbolic and isolated acts that generate commemorative postcards, easy to post on WhatsApp stories.

The word genocide is not enough to describe certain things, certain historical and tremendous traumas, from which most of us come from.

Genocide, according to the academy of language, is the systematic extermination or elimination of a human group because of race, ethnicity, religion, politics or nationality. But it has always had a little more behind it than it says, because race and ethnicity invented it, religion and politics manipulate it and nationality prostitute it.

We already know who they are, we know the smell of how they look and the dull spectrum their planes make when they launch themselves to break the sound barrier and a few other barriers.

We already know how they talk, that there are words that they repeat a lot and others that they never mention, that they love to throw around blame and responsibility, that they change the subject quickly, that they can do it, they have what they need.

Genocide… What do they think we mean by people being killed? A common crime that is erased with three days of crying, four months of pain and a hundred wakes?

We already know that it is not only our bodies that hinder them: they also have more than enough of the full, distinct and rich freedom of our sensibilities, the willingness to pledge our words and our lives in function of our words and our lives, the other ways of saying how a people is organized or where and for what or for whom wealth is placed, the “I don’t feel like it” similar to the priceless tantrum….

This December 9th, a day in which a large part of the world dedicates at least a moment to commemorate and dignify the victims of genocide, to “think” about how to prevent it, it seems better to us to invoke all those resistances that confront it.

The daily ones that even they themselves do not know they exist, the past ones, the high-flown ones, those who know how to cry, those who prefer to save their tears for later, the silent ones, the future ones, those who assume, as the poet said, “that all the words with which I sing to life come with death as well.”

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently visited Tel Aviv and publicly stated that “perhaps” this is “the last chance for a ceasefire in Gaza”.
A few kilometers away from the meeting with the authorities of the Jewish country, a Dantesque spectacle, very similar to that left by the U.S. atomic bombs dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is the testimony of the Palestinian identity subjected to extermination in the Gaza Strip.
Logic indicates that a solution to this conflict is a long way off as long as a foreign actor – the U.S. – finances and supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s Zionist regime within the framework of the UN and other international institutions.
It must be made clear to Joe Biden and Blinken – once again sent to Israel as a kind of “fire-fighter” in the face of international condemnation – that they hold the solution in their hands: force Israel to stop the genocide in Palestine, or the White House will suspend the delivery of the most advanced weapons and the financial support of more than U.S. $4 billion a year.
In addition, the Biden administration, or the next one, can lift the veto in the UN Security Council when it comes to peace in Palestine and the cessation of Israeli aggression.
Coinciding with Blinken’s visit to Israel, the UN, in the voice of its Secretary-General António Guterres, called for “an end to impunity for attacks on humanitarian workers,” 280 of whom from 33 countries were killed last year alone.
And lest we forget, the number of Palestinians killed by Zionist shrapnel exceeds 40,000, not counting the estimated 10,000 more buried under the rubble of what was once Gaza City.
It is not the time for the visits of the Yankee representative or his worthless warnings, nor for the resolutions and appeals of the international institutions, which are neither heard nor followed by those guilty of genocide.
There is no direct action to stop the crime.

The deputy director general of the U.S. Directorate of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Johana Tablada, described as genocidal the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
In an interview granted to the Cuban News Channel, the diplomat explained that the recent exclusion of the island from a list of nations that “do not fully cooperate in the fight against terrorism” does not mean its elimination from the general list of the State Department that imposes measures against this Caribbean country.
That unilateral measure constitutes one of the main genocidal tools of the White House to asphyxiate the Cuban people, and it persists, in spite of the fact that more and more voices are being raised against such injustice, she pointed out.
She affirmed that Washington uses the presence of Cuba in such a list as a justification for the unilateral coercive measures derived from them, which are associated with the purpose of asphyxiating the Island’s economy and holding the Government responsible for their impact.
She also pointed out that the U.S. Executive is simultaneously promoting a well-financed systematic communicational operation, in the mainstream press and digital platforms, to hold the victim country responsible for the impact of these inhumane measures, which significantly affect the population.
