Eighty-five Argentinians, many but not all Jewish, were killed by
Hezbollah on July 18, 1994, in an act of international terrorism when the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires was blown up.
A siren sounded at the precise time a Hezbollah suicide bomber, Ibrahim Berro, drove a car laden with explosives in front of the AMIA, and pressed the detonator setting off the explosion on July 18, 1994 at 9:53am (1253 GMT) and reduced the seven-story Jewish-Argentine Mutual Association (AMIA) community center in Buenos Aires to rubble reported the BBC.
85 people were murdered
ranging in age from five years old to 67 years old and more than 300
hundred
wounded. 30 years later those responsible for this act of terrorism
remain at large.
The American Jewish Committee called it “the deadliest antisemitic attack outside Israel since the Holocaust.”
This was true until October 7, 2023 when Hamas invaded Israel, and carried out a terrorist attack against civilians murdering 1,200 people in Israel.
Leticia Martinez, head of
communications for Miguel Diaz-Canel posted a message celebrating a “Free Palestine” in the aftermath of the October 7th terrorist attacks on her social media.
She was not alone.
In the midst of this barbarism and evil, Castro Regime spokesman "El Necio" cites Che Guevara visit to Gaza as inflection point that turned Palestine into a world cause,
and posts photos of the Argentine guerilla with Middle East leaders
during a visit there at the start of the Cuban dictatorship. He lies
about Israel calling it a "Zionist colonization" without recognizing Jewish people as indigenous to this their ancestral lands.
He claims that Guevara is the inspiration for the "resistance" i.e.
terrorist barbarism taking place today, and concludes his rant with "Che
Lives."
The Cuban government, and their agents of influence did not limit themselves to cyberspace.
On October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas terrorist massacre in southern Israel, militant leftists organized a protest in Times Square
to celebrate the killings as an act of resistance and waved signs with
anti-Semitic slogans and images. The Center for a Free Cuba took notice of this protest at the time, and how official Cuban media was promoting it. On October 11, 2023, The People’s Forum (TPF) issued a statement defending their October 8th rally in Times Square, doubling down on their support for the terrorist attack.

| Manolo de los Santos w/ Diaz-Canel Sept 2023. Santos on 10/8/23 celebrates Hamas terror |
The
group’s co-executive director, Manolo De Los Santos, is a longtime
researcher at the Marxist Tricontinental: Institute for Social
Research and was “based out of Cuba for many years,” where he “worked toward building
international networks of people’s movements and organizations,”
according to his biography at the anti-Israel group Black Alliance for
Peace. In July 2022, Cuba’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, received De
los Santos and executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for
Social Research, Vijay Prashad with the aim of “elaborating a new
consensus, based on theory and according to the different experiences of
social movements and countries, on the path of socialism.”
On January 24, 2024 Manolo De Los Santos spoke the quiet part out loud
at The People’s Forum in New York City: “When we finally deal that
final blow to destroy Israel. When the state of Israel is finally
destroyed and erased from history, that will be the single most
important blow we can give to destroying capitalism.”
De Los Santos is echoing Karl Marx’s early formulation of communism which is antisemitic and offers a “solution” to the “Jewish Problem.”
Today, protesters carrying Hezbollah, and Hamas flags sprayed graffiti, burned American flags, and beat up police officers in Washington DC. One protester carried a poster with mushroom cloud over an Israeli flag that said "Allah is gathering all the Zionists for a final solution."
Truth squad for Israel
These Islamists and communists continue to spread a number of lies against the Jewish people. One of the most outrageous is to deny that Israelis are the indigenous people to the land they inhabit.
The Jewish people are indigenous
to the land they live on today, and also lands inhabited by Palestinians,
such as Gaza and the West Bank. Three thousand years ago the state of
Israel was dominated by a Jewish community, until they were conquered
by the Roman Empire in 63 BC. Over the next two thousand years, empires would rule over Israel, to be replaced by another until the British Empire in the 20th century when the Jewish people reclaimed their homeland, and were recognized by the United Nations in 1948.
The Cuban dictatorship has spent decades slandering Israel. Fidel Castro personally equated the Jewish state with Nazi Germany, and the communist regime has promoted antisemitic tropes, and discriminated against Cuban Jews.
What of these libels against Israel?
Numbers do not lie, but the Communists and their Islamic allies do.
In 1933 there were 9.5 million Jewish people living in Europe. Following the Nazi holocaust, the Jewish population in Europe in 1950 was reduced to 3.5 million. The world Jewish population in 1939 was 16,728,000, and in 1945 it had shrunk to 11,000,000.
Palestinians and the Castro dictatorship for decades have accused, and continue to accuse, Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide”.
In 1948 there were 1.4 million Palestinians living in what is today, Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Today there are 7 million Palestinians living there, and 7.05 million living in the diaspora.
The Palestinian population under 75 years of Israeli
“occupation” has grown five fold, and the total world population has
grown. This is the antithesis of what happened to Jewish people during
the Nazi regime both in Europe, and worldwide.
Since the 1960s Cuba’s communist dictatorship has trained terrorists to attack Israel. In 1973 the Castro regime sent 3,000 Cuban troops to Syria, and invaded Israel on October 6, 1973.
It is not surprising that hours after Hamas terrorists entered Israel on October 7th killed 1,200 Israelis, wounded over 3,360, launched over 6,300 rockets, murdered, raped, and kidnapped civilians; Havana and The People’s Forum blamed the victims.
