The massacre must end

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.

United States, Uses Genocidal Tools Against Cuba

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.

Genocide in Palestinian

Although the International Criminal Court (ICC) had to “lump together” the Zionist government of Israel and the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, in order to propose a detention agreement to the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, for the genocide being committed in Gaza against the Palestinian population, the ruling clashed with the position of the United States, which does ñnot allow any sanction against Israel.
The reaction, both from President Joe Biden and á of State Antony Blinken, and even within the U.S. Congress, has surpassed everything imaginable: U.S. sanctions against the ICC itself, for seeking to act against Netanyahu and his Minister of Defense.
The U.S. president described as “outrageous” the request of the prosecutor of the international justice entity, Karim Khan, for issuing the arrest warrants.
“And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor may imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel,” said the U.S. president, while denying that genocide is being committed in Gaza.
The U.S. Congress, for its part, is promoting bipartisan legislation that would impose sanctions on anyone involved in the case of the arrest warrants.
In light of this situation, the Attorney General of the Hague Court has warned that threats against him and his institution constitute a criminal offense, after receiving a threatening letter from Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Congress.
While the incumbent occupant of the White House reaffirms his position on the side of the massacre, Cuba, like most countries, demands respect for Palestinian civilians caught in the conflict by demanding that the UN Security Council fulfill its mandate for peace, Cubaminrex reported.
The island’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Ernesto Soberón, called on the 15-member body not to remain inert in the face of the ongoing massacre, and on the international community not to stop its call to halt the Israeli offensive.

Statement by the Network in Defense of Humanity on the Genocide against the Palestinian People

Dec 1, 2023 from Caracas

The genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, continuing its policy of state terrorism, has its roots in 75 years of colonization, military occupation and apartheid regime. Not only did the tragedy of the first Nakba result in expulsions and massacres, but since then, Israel’s government funding of the advancing supremacist settlers has entrenched its project of total territorial occupation, compounded with ongoing extermination.

In two months, more than 20,000 people have been killed, of whom 8,176 are children. Out of a total population of 2,200,000 in Gaza over 1,730,000 have been displaced. In defiance of humanitarian law and human rights, Israel commits permanent bombardments, resulting in the destruction of hospitals, schools, mosques and social services. The economic, communicational and political blockade has disrupted the limits of basic survival.
