A declaration of solidarity with Palestine, which condemns the clear violations of human rights committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, and denounces the genocide against that people, and their forced displacement, as well as the complicity of imperialism in such crimes, marked the final day of the Second International Meeting of Theoretical Publications of Left Parties and Movements, which concluded yesterday in Havana.
In the wide-ranging debates held by 97 foreign delegates and 59 Cubans, from 43 organizations and 36 media, the formation of a collective thinking on the essential aspects that occupy the left in the world was stimulated.
Enrique Ubieta Gómez, director of the Cuba Socialista magazine and coordinator of the event, alluded, in his summary remarks, to significant issues that marked the meeting, such as the confrontation to cultural colonialism and the challenges of leftist youth in times of neo-fascism.
Ubieta referred that the call is to unity in the face of the great global problems, to the unity of the oppressed, which is strengthened from the diversity and plurality of the left movements, and the participation and criticism to find the necessary paths.
In this purpose of articulating a “symbolic common front”, some proposals were to create a permanent mechanism of work between meetings, which Cuba will cover; to establish a network that systematizes the diversity of publications, and a repository of contents; to create an international advisory council; and to stimulate cooperation between universities, research centers and organizations.
Rescuing the memory of Marxism, keeping revolutionary paradigms alive, denouncing blockades, and supporting just causes and struggles were other aspects mentioned by Ubieta, who recalled the need to generate confidence and certainty that a better world is possible and essential.

Havana, October 29 (RHC)– Cuba’s president has strongly condemned Israel’s genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip and blamed Israel and the United States for 75 years of occupation and violating the “inalienable” rights of the Palestinians.

In his statements to national television On Saturday, Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed his country’s strong condemnation of the genocide, and the destruction of homes, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure perpetrated by the Israeli forces in Palestinian land.

“We will not accept any selective indignation that seeks to ignore the danger of the genocide that is being perpetrated against the Palestinians, portray the Israeli side as the victim, and ignore 75 years of aggression, occupation, violations, and exclusion,” he said.

“We reject the killing of innocent people as a result of the current escalation and fierce and indiscriminate aggression, without distinction of race, origin, gender, or belief,” Diaz-Canel stressed.

He described Israel’s bloodshed in Gaza as “unjustifiable” and in “serious violation” of humanitarian and international laws.  “Israel violates all United Nations resolutions and all commitments imposed on it as an occupying power as stipulated in the Fourth Geneva Convention,” he said, adding, “The Security Council was unable to call on Israel to stop the ongoing massacre, as the United States used the veto right.”

“The United States is the historical accomplice of ‘Zionist barbarism,’” he added.

“The comprehensive, just, and permanent solution to the conflict undoubtedly requires the real exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of their independent and sovereign state within the borders of pre-1967, with its capital in East al-Quds,” the Cuban President highlighted.

He also confirmed that a group of countries, including Cuba, proposed a draft resolution to the United Nations General Assembly, which was recently approved, demanding an immediate ceasefire, the establishment of an urgent mechanism to protect Palestinian civilians, rejecting the displacement of civilians and human rights defenders, and the provision of emergency humanitarian aid.

“Every moment of procrastination and passivity will cost the loss of more innocent lives, and action must be taken immediately,” he warned.
