Peoples Dispatch: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel joins march in support of Palestine On October 14, thousands marched in Havana in solidarity with Palestine and condemned the genocide committed by Israel. The march was organized by the Young Communist League of Cuba (UJC). Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel marched alongside the President of the National Assembly of People’s Power and of the Council of State, Esteban Lazo, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez, and other members of the Political Bureau and representatives of mass organizations. “Against the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, against the Israeli attempt to exterminate the noble Palestinian people; against imperial impunity for the genocidaires, Cuba marches with our historic demand: ‘Let the philosophy of plunder cease and the philosophy of war will cease,’” Díaz-Canel wrote on X.
Resumen Latinoamericano: Recent Examples of the Damage caused Cuba from the US Blockade e.g.: On November 21, 2023, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed a $968,618,825 penalty on Cayman Islands-based cryptocurrency company Binance Holdings, Ltd. (Binance) for violating various US sanctions, including those related to the Cuban Blockade. The company was required to pay additional amounts to the Department of Justice, the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for a total of $4.3 billion… In March 2023, it was announced that MEDICUBA’s purchase of medical supplies, including drugs for the treatment of allergies, cancer and other terminal diseases, would be affected by the purchase of the Canadian company APOTEX by the U.S. company SK Capital.
Popular Resistance (Roger Harris): Cuba Under Intensified US Sanctions Confronts Its Greatest Challenge Cuba has become a model of internationalism and an exemplar of socialism. Every US administration for over six decades has targeted this “threat of a good example.” Back in its early days, the Cuban Revolution was bolstered by socialist solidarity, particularly from the Soviet Union. Now, “ US sanctions have, at every juncture, triggered or worsened every aspect of the current crisis.” Neither Trump nor Kamala Harris have offered any easing of the blockade. In the US, the National Network on Cuba, ACERE, and Pastors for Peace are among the organizations working to end the blockade and get Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
