When the Victimizer Blames the Victim -- No to Latest U.S. Aggression Against Cuba! - Isaac Saney, Spokesperson, Canadian Network
On Cuba - 
October 6. A day of
commemoration in Cuba for the victims of state terrorism.
The Canadian Network On Cuba (CNC) vigorously and unequivocally
condemns the deceitful and duplicitous designation of Cuba by the Trump
regime as a sponsor of terrorism. This is an act of blatant opportunism
and cynicism, an act that flies in the face of reality. It is Cuba that
has been the victim of all manner of terrorist attacks that have been
carried out with the complicity, participation and sponsorship of
Washington.  Since the triumph
of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Washington has waged an unceasing
assault, both military and economic, against the Cuban people,
organizing an invasion, assassinations, terrorist attacks against
civilians and systematic economic sabotage. Many of these acts were
directly launched from and/or planned in the United States. These acts
of terror against Cuba include the 1976 bombing of a civilian Cuban
airliner that claimed the lives of 73 people and the 1997 Havana hotel
bombings, which claimed the life of Fabio Di Celmo, a young Montrealer
of Italian origin. As a point of fact, 3,478 Cubans have been killed
and 2,099 injured, as a result of these terrorist acts.
This
contemptible move by the Trump regime reeks of desperation, reflecting
Washington's failure to isolate Cuba in international relations and
public opinion. This failure is poignantly underscored by the
international acclaim, accolades and gratitude that Cuba continues to
receive for its singular role in the global fight against the COVID-19
pandemic, illustrated by the numerous nominations of Cuba's
internationalist medical contingent, the Henry Reeve Brigade, for the
2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, it is precisely Cuba that shows the
world a model of international relations that stands diametrically
opposed to terrorism. It is a model based on creating and fostering
relations between countries founded on genuine human solidarity.
The CNC stands with Cuba and the rest of the world in
denouncing this latest despicable act of aggression against the heroic
island nation. The CNC calls on the Canadian government to take a
principled stand by rejecting this utterly immoral and self-serving
hypocritical double standard that flagrantly violates international
law. Despite this unacceptable and grotesque action by the U.S.
government, the CNC is convinced that justice and truth will prevail in
the end. No to the Latest
U.S. Aggression Against Cuba!
Justice and Truth Will Prevail!
