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.

“As long as the Palestinian land continues to be martyred, bled, destroyed to its foundations by the hatred of the Israeli occupier, we cannot tire of denouncing the crime and summoning the international community”, expressed in X the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
The Head of State, on behalf of Cuba, on the Palestinian Land Day, joined his voice to that of the whole world that demands the cessation of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Solidarity was experienced in the gardens of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples; with the brush of outstanding artists in a mural painting, outside the Guido Fuentes basic secondary school, in Vedado; in the Jaramillo Productive Pole Local Development Project, in the Havana municipality of La Lisa, in which peasant women, together with their families, demanded peace in that suffering land, which since last October 7 is a victim of Zionist barbarism.
Convened by the Cuban chapter of the World March of Women, the women producers waited for 12 noon to join their voices in solidarity with other actions carried out in the world at that very moment, and denounce the crime against humanity committed by the Israeli government.
“We have to denounce, in every possible way, this horrendous crime,” said Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, National Coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution.
Palestinian students in Cuba participated in the just claim.

It is impossible not to feel deeply the pain that Palestine is suffering today. Words can hardly be sustained without being flooded by tears, without impotence becoming the strength to raise our voices in the face of so much cruelty.
Thousands of lives have been taken and, as if that were not enough, today there is a latent threat that many more will be massacred in what has been called a final offensive.
When it seems that humanity is more committed to history, Israel, with terrifying impunity, brings back an updated version of the Holocaust.

The images that travel around the world are extremely harsh, they carry within them the bitter taste of vestiges of a past that has become more absurd and inhuman.
So how can we not cry out from the depths of our hearts, how can we not demand from those who believe they have the right to snatch dreams, the imminent peace for the Palestinian people?
From this side of the earth, where a society is built with all and for all, where the life of every human being matters; from this Cuba that earned with its own merit the right to dream and be happy, we demand the cessation of genocide against the Palestinian population.
“Palestine deserves to live in peace, the world deserves peace to live”.

Si Israel no se empecinara en seguir masacrando a la humilde, sufrida e indefensa población palestina en la Franja de Gaza, el mundo pudiera estar clamando hoy por el fin de otros (también innecesarios) conflictos; por la paz, la hermandad y la cooperación que tanto necesitan los pueblos; por una distribución más justa y equitativa de la riqueza y los recursos naturales, por la mejor preservación del medio ambiente…

Pero con más de 100 000 víctimas desde octubre, entre muertos y heridos (con brutal impacto en niños y mujeres), una población en condiciones de hambruna y bloqueo de medicamentos, lo mínimo aconsejable es elevar voces, unir voluntades, exigir una solución, tal y como ocurre hoy, cuando miles y miles de cubanos colman las principales arterias y plazas en todas las provincias y en el municipio especial Isla de la Juventud.

Gigantesco, multitudinario, el desfile no es –desde luego– el que cada año protagoniza Cuba para festejar el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores, colmado de alegría, de júbilo obrero, de iniciativas, de razones para la celebración.

Esta es una jornada de denuncia, de condena, de consternación y tristeza por tantas víctimas mortales, de indignación frente a la impunidad con que Tel Aviv bombardea, incendia, destruye y mata; de exigencia para que los organismos correspondientes hagan valer el derecho internacional.

Así ha ocurrido durante meses en los que, por igual motivo y con no menos sensibilidad, habitantes de distintas ciudades han expresado idéntico reclamo ante los ojos y oídos de un mundo que abochornaría a la especie humana actual y, sobre todo, a las nuevas generaciones que él engendre mañana, si permaneciera ciego, sordo, mudo e impasible ante un genocidio que, a la luz del lente fotográfico y cinematográfico, puede parecer ciencia ficción. Lamentablemente, es una cruda e inaceptable realidad.

Que sea hoy la oportunidad no despreciable para fundir en un solo grito, a coro, en un puño común, las innumerables frases, gestos y todo el sentimiento de repudio que diariamente brota en el hogar, en el centro de trabajo, en cualquier espacio público, frente a la magnitud de una masacre que, lejos de cesar, cada vez es más infierno, por el modo en que sigue desbordando muertes.

Cuba siente, como en carne propia, el dolor tremendo del pueblo palestino,

al que desea extinguir el Gobierno abusador y criminal de Israel.
