Castro Denounces ’Israel’s’ Disgusting Form of Fascism

Local Editor

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Tuesday compared "Israel's" terror aggression against Palestinians in Gaza to a "disgusting form of fascism" that its ally, the United States, is unable to control.

"I think that a new and disgusting form of fascism is emerging with considerable force at this moment in human history," Castro wrote in a column in the newspaper Granma titled "Palestinian Holocaust in Gaza."

"Castro's" article appeared as a 72-hour truce took hold in the Gaza Strip, with "Israel" withdrawing occupation forces after a month of relentless attacks on mostly civilian targets that martyred nearly 1,900 Palestinians, including over 400 children.

"Why does the government of this "Israel" think that the world will be impervious to this macabre genocide that is being committed today against the Palestinian people?" he asked.

The 87-year-old former president added: "Maybe it hopes that the complicity of the North American [US] empire will be ignored in this shameless massacre?"
"There are facts that reflect the near total inability of the United States to face the current world problems," said Castro, who handed over power to his brother Raul in 2006 for health reasons.

Communist Cuba broke diplomatic relations with "Israel" in 1973 after the October War.
