[size=18pt]Venezuela, Cuba condemn Israel, offer Gaza support[/size]

Stuart Munckton
8 January 2009


While Western powers and many Arab governments are complicit in Israel’s crimes against the people of Gaza, the revolutionary governments of Venezuela and Cuba have strongly opposed Israel’s war.

Venezuela’s socialist President Hugo Chavez released a statement on December 27 “on behalf of the Bolivarian government, and as spokesperson of the Venezuelan people”, in which Chavez expressed “his deep indignation at the criminal attack by Israel perpetrated against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip”.

On January 5, Chavez urged Israel “to stop the invasion of the Gaza Strip and the murder of thousands of innocent people”.

Commenting on US backing for Israel, he stated: “It is sad that Israel continues acting as the killing arm of the yankee empire.

“The yankee empire has no mercy and the evidence is what they are supporting in Gaza, where a real slaughter [is] taking place; this is all supported by the current government of the United States.”

The following day, Venezuela announced it had “decided to expel the Israeli ambassador and part of the personnel of the Israeli embassy” in protest at its crimes, according to a January 6 Associated Press report.

As it did during the humanitarian crisis Israel inflicted on Lebanon in 2006, Venezuela is rushing humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip.

Venezuelan foreign minister Nicolas Maduro announced on January 6 that “the Venezuelan government has decided to start a humanitarian airlift, together with the Arab and Muslim community and other Latin American countries, to supply medicines, food, drinking water, and milk, among other items”.

Prensa Latina reported on December 28 that the Cuban government “has strongly condemned Israel’s massive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip” that have killed hundreds.

The Cuban government issued a statement declaring Israel’s military assault “criminal”, a “genocidal act” and “the bloodiest attack Israel has ever launched against the Palestinian people”.

According to the statement, “Cuba reiterates its unswerving solidarity and support for the heroic and long-suffering Palestinian people”.

Cuba has urged “the international community to condemn the massacre and to request an immediate end [to] the attacks against the Palestinian civil population”.

The Bolivian government of left-wing President Evo Morales has also condemned Israel’s crimes and urged the United Nations to demand Israel stop its assault.

The progressive states of Latin America are stepping up!

Why aren't the Arab states doing enough? Oh, I forgot, they're being controlled by lapdogs of the West - Mubarak is boy-boy to his masters in Washington D.C. and the House of Saud in charge of Saudi Arabia are just monarchical goons!

The Arabs need to take back their countries from Western puppets like Mubarak!

i find it utterly ridiculous and laughable that a president can issue statements on behalf of another president without the presence of the latter president or his/her representatives

that aside its known that chavez, morales, and castro (atleast the former) make it a point of duty to issue statememts on anything remotely linked to the government of the US that isreal a long time ally of the US in the middle east is at 'war' with another nation, its quite expected that all three leaders take the side of the enemy of the Us ally this time being Palestine.

Chavez is globally known to concern himself with matters that dont concern him, this statement is actually coming a tad bit late from his quaters.


Now to the issue at hand, Arab nations have condemned Isreal alright, why do u think Dubaians were given a treat to a fireworksless and random-concerts/parties cancelling entrance into 2009?
we really should get some of our facts straight

It's funny how y'all refer to the moderate elements who believe in dialogue as goons.  This stance clearly suggests that your peace-loving position is nothing but a sanctimonous facade devoid of any true affinity for peace.

The fact is that you're blinded by your zombiesque support of Western subjugation.

There is no democracy in Saudi Arabia, yet your mentors (Bush, Cheney, etc.) were willing to kill more than half a million Iraqis to entrench democracy in Iraq! How about trying to bring democracy to Saudi Arabia?

Hosni Mubarak has been president of Egypt for 28 years! Leaders of all opposition groups in Egypt have been jailed, exiled or killed! Is that the democracy your mentors in Washington DC are trying to sell to the Iraqis?

The truth is that America is not interested in democracy in the middle-east, but in resource control and using Israel as her attack-dog in the region. The toddlers in Washington DC know that democracy in the middle-east will result in governments willing to challenge Western hypocrisy in the region. Hence, they support all the dictators that slavishly bow to their demands!

Even a neophyte in political matters should know these things.

Have the moderates delivered the two state solution? Israel only uses the moderates to stall for time. Freedom is never given, Freedom is always taken.
Check your history books if you have any.

And what blinds you? An aversion to the West such that you suspend every iota of logic?

This just shows how hypocritical you guys are. You've condemned the use of force to bring democracy to Iraq and yet condemn the peaceful means and diplomatic pressure brought to bear to stir Saudi, Kuwait and other nations into adopting democracy and ensuring women vote and are voted into office.

The truth is that America is not interested in democracy in the middle-east, but in resource control and using Israel as her attack-dog in the region.

You may question America's intentions, and no doubt every nation seeks its own good first. The idea of spreading democracy is all about keeping America safe. It's part of the global straategy adopted in America's war against terrorism. Question. How many nations in the ME has Isreal attacked, except in self defence?

Even a neophyte in political matters should know these things.
Just as a neophyte in political matters should know that Hugo Chavez is not looking out for anybody's interests but his own. I guess he will keep it up since his hypocritical actions impress people like you. This is somone voted into office but trying to make himself a life President. He will be the first President I will know becoming a spokesman for another President.

@sleek_p,

Have the moderates delivered the two state solution?
Have the hardliners delivered it too? So you are one of those who mouth the word peace but harbour a deep desire for harmed confrontations? The hardliners who attacked Isreal since 1948 have managed not to secure a State but to lose more land to the militarily superior Isreal. What has Hamas achieved through the rockets now? If Isreal wants to, they could occupy Gaza again, thanks to your hardliners!

Israel only uses the moderates to stall for time.
Time for what? Isreal has being at peace with Egypt for decades, and this is what they want with everyone else, even if they have to give up land.

Freedom is never given, Freedom is always taken.
Absolutely. Just as Saddam never gave his people freedom. Bush took it from him by force.

Check your history books if you have any.
I just schooled you on a recent history too.

My only problem with you RichyBlack is that over and over again this clown TayoD that uses multiple usernames writes like a complete idiot and you keep trying to explain things to him.

Have you not heard that even if you take a pig to the US it still remains a pig, well maybe a bigger pig.

As usual, coming into a topic without no intentions but to continue in personality clashes.  You've already been revealed for the fraud you are on another thread.  From selling wood flooring to posturing as an IT professional, from pushing inverters to assuming the role of an expert in electrical power; and from stealing peoples' identities to swindling another man through 419 mutual funds schemes, you have proven yourself a habitual liar and 419.

Your sorry life speaks for itself.  Need I add more?

You're merely a h.ack; a historical revisionist who ain't even good at it! You support Israel blindly and can't even admit it when your dear Israel is wrong. All your views on the crisis in the middle-east is colored through the opaque prism of religion. You detest Muslims, and so apply the most discredited form of logic - guilt by association. To you, the lives of Palestinian children is not worth the Israeli bullets and bombs tearing them to pieces. In your senseless support for Zionism, you abandon your Christian tenets of "love your neighbor as you love thyself" and embrace the barbaric mantra of those who scorn your shepherd - "an eye for an eye"! What a lost sheep, indeed!

Before you trip over yourself to claim our history is wrong why don't you provide us with the correct one blockhead.

RichyBlacK:

Thou hypocrite, was Russia also "wrong" to invade Georgia even though no rockets were fired at it?
Thou hypocrite, how was Israel wrong to defend its people from 8 years of constant rocket attacks?

RichyBlacK:

All your views on the crisis in the middle-east is colored through the opaque prism of religion.

yours are pretty much colored through the black prism of anti-semitism and arab propaganda.

What a lost sheep, indeed!

Bla bla bla . . . more self righteous bleating.
Why havent you directed the love thy neighbour as yourself mantra to HAMAS? This is not a religious issue for the jews, it is a case of fighting to survive. I wager they have loved their neighbours about enough. Even the bible jews too had armies to protect them from foreign invaders, it did not make nonsense of the tenets of loving their neighbour. The same bible that advocated love thy neighbour did not tell the jews to throw away their armies too. Learn to comprehend complex logic.

Idiot . . . perhaps you shld be able by now to figure out how and where to apply your hypocritical biblical quotes. If Mexico invades the US or spends 10yrs lobbing rockets at Miami i'm sure even christians would join the army to go "love" their mexican neighbours.

@RichyBlack,

I still don't know why people like Tayo-D don't want to discuss the real issues facing the middle-east.
What issues if I may ask? And while you may try to obfsucate the problems by talking about land, the rest of the Arab world knows it is all about religion. Their faith expressly tells them (read Hamas Charter) that Isreal must be wiped out in the last days. The same faith believes the entire palestine is an Islamic Waqf. Here is what Cayon, your fellow Hamas sympathiser had to say on another thread: "Notice i didn't say Israel vs Palestine because the whole world know this war is all about Religion." https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-214720.32.html#msg3309434

You denied on another thread that Hamas' Charter expressly calls for Isreal to be wiped out, and I produced the proof for your use. You have probably ignored the same thing here. Any attempt to deal with the ME wahala without putting this into the mix is an adventure in futility.

By the way, are you for a peaceful resolution or a violent confrontation? Afterall, you have expressly shown here that people who seek peace are not to be trusted, while those who seek blood are heroes.
