Cuba will continue to defend its sovereign right to build socialism the way we Cubans have decided, without any foreign interference
I dedicate these first words to ratify Cuba’s solidarity and support to the brotherly people of Palestine, victim of more than 75 years of colonial occupation, flagrant violations to their legitimate rights as a nation, submitted to cruelty, aggressions, collective punishments and apartheid. It is an unacceptable tragedy, plain for all to see; it’s a wound in human consciousness. During the last eleven months, the Israeli army has massacred more than 40 thousand civilians. That indiscriminate and disproportionate massacre has killed more boys and girls than men and women. They die with the complicity and the weapons contributed by the United States, with the complicit silence of others. We pay tribute to the more than 220 aid workers of this Organization who have also been killed.
