Communist Cuba Led the “Zionism = Racism” Blood Libel
Revisiting when 51 years ago the United Nations regurgitated Nazi ideology and Soviet propaganda on November 10, 1975 passing the ‘Zionism is racism’ resolution
On November 10, 1975 the United Nations declared that “Zionism is racism.” The resolution was repealed in 1991, but the smearing of Zionism, and Judaism continued. It was also a setback for human rights and the United Nations more broadly.
The Cuban government, led by Fidel Castro, was one of the 26 sponsors, that lobbied for the passage of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, which labeled Zionism a form of racism and racial discrimination. The resolution was principally supported by the Arab League and numerous Muslim-majority states. Later, in 1991, Cuba was one of the few countries to vote against the revocation of Resolution 3379(via Resolution 46/86), underscoring its consistent stance. Nevertheless, the libelous resolution was revoked.
In the midst of this evil act by the international community in 1975, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Daniel Patrick Moynihan delivered a speech that refuted this immorality with moral clarity.
The Cuban dictatorship has a history of antisemitism that runs to the present day.
Hours after 1,200 people were slaughtered in Israel by Hamas Islamist terrorists, who kidnapped hundreds more on October 7, 2023, the Cuban government condemned Israel.
Their agents of influence in the United States promoted a pro-Hamas rally in Times Square, calling the murder of civilians “an act of resistance.”
On October 8, 2023, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations issued astatement condemning Israel’s “impunity,” labeling the Jewish state as an occupier and the US as historically complicit. Their allies in the region took an equally anti-Israel line.
Dictators Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, and President and former M-19 terrorist Gustavo Petro in Colombia all failed to denounce the terrorist assaults on Israel.
Pro-Hamas protests in NYC led by Pro-Castro activist
Manolo de los Santos of The People’s Forum with Miguel Diaz-Canel in September 2023, and on October 8, 2023 celebrating Hams terror attacks on Israel.
On October 8, 2023, one day after the terror attacks in Israel, militant leftists held a protest in Times Square to celebrate the terrorist attack as a form of resistance, yelling anti-Semitic slogans and waving banners and posters. On October 11, 2023, The People’s Forum (TPF) released a statement justifying their October 8th demonstration in Times Square and reaffirming their support for the rampage. Manolo De Los Santos, the group’s co-executive director, is a researcher at the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, with links to the Cuban dictatorship, and he was “based out of Cuba for many years.”
On January 15, 2024, Manolo De Los Santos said the quiet part out loudat The People’s Forum in New York City: “When we finally deal that ultimate blow to annihilate Israel. When the state of Israel is completely abolished and obliterated from history, it will be the single most powerful blow we can deliver against capitalism.“
