PFLP Condemns US sanctions on Cuba and Affirms Cuba is Paying the Price for its Principles

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns in the strongest terms the new package of American sanctions that targeted Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, and a number of family members of the historical leader Raúl Castro, in addition to Cuban sovereign and military entities.

We consider this aggressive step a new link in the series of the ongoing imperialist offensive led by the American administration against countries that refuse to submit to its dictates and cling to their independent national decision-making.

These sanctions, which come in the context of the American administration’s attempts to replace international law with the law of the jungle, reflect a state of moral and political degradation; Washington installs itself as judge and executioner at the same time, and allows war criminals and violators of the rights of peoples to prosecute a sovereign state, simply because it defends its country and has chosen the path of political and principled resistance to colonial policies.

The language of threat and intimidation used by the American President against Cuba, and his arrogant statements about “managing files” and changing regimes, are direct additional evidence of the colonial mentality that rules Washington, which imagines that it can tame countries and subjugate the will of peoples through tools of siege, starvation, and political blackmail.

We express our complete and unconditional standing with Cuba, leadership and people, in the face of this rabid offensive, confirming that it is paying today the tax of its revolutionariness, and its moral and principled commitment to defending human dignity, protecting the sovereignty of nations, and its solid stance against colonial and zionist projects in the region and the world.

We call on all living forces, liberation movements, and free people in the world to raise their voices loudly in the face of this American piracy, and to intensify solidarity campaigns with Cuba, as it is a symbol of hope and resistance in the face of global imperialism.
