THIS morning the cables were
full of reports about the unheard-of news that a Malaysia Airlines passenger
plane had been hit at an altitude of 10,100 meters as it flew over Ukrainian
territory, along a route controlled by the war-hungry government of chocolate
king, Petro Poroshenko.
Cuba, which has always stood
in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, and in the difficult days of the
Chernobyl tragedy provided medical care to the many children affected by the
accident’s harmful radiation, and is always willing to continue doing so,
cannot refrain from expressing our repudiation of the action of the
anti-Russian, anti-Ukrainian and pro-imperialist government.
At the same time, coinciding
with the Malaysian aircraft crime, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
head of the nuclear state, ordered his army to invade the Gaza Strip, where,
over the last several days, hundreds of Palestinians have died, many of them
children. The President of the United States supported the action, describing
the repugnant act as legitimate defense.
Obama does not support David
against Goliath, but rather Goliath against David. As is known, young men and
women from the Israeli people, well prepared for productive work, are being
exposed to a death without honor, without glory. I am not aware of the
Palestinian’s military strategy, but I know that a combatant prepared to die
can defend even the ruins of a building, as long as he has his rifle, as the
heroic defenders of Stalingrad demonstrated.
I only wish to express my
solidarity with the heroic people who defend the last sliver remaining of what
was their homeland for thousands of years.
