Palestinians thank Fidel for
his solidarity
Hundreds marched September 2 in Gaza, carrying
photos of the historic leader of the Cuban
Revolution Fidel Castro, in an event organized to
acknowledge Latin American solidarity with
Palestine.
 Called
by the popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
(FPLP), the demonstration moved through several
areas of the Gaza Strip, with marchers shouting
slogans in support of Latin America and repudiating
Israel’s attacks on the region, which continued for
50 days.
The
march was conceived as a celebration of the victory
achieved by the Palestinian people, obliging Israel
to accept a ceasefire, given staunch resistance and
international condemnation of their attacks on the
civilian population, organizers told PL.
FPLP
leader Kaed Al Ghoul, speaking during the main event
explained that the march had two goals. First to
support the decision to lay down arms and, secondly,
to thank Iran, Syria and Latin American countries,
which have consistently supported Palestine.
Recognized with the presentation of plaques were
representatives from the diplomatic missions of
Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile, Paraguay,
Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia.
