Guevara, daughter of the eternal Argentinean-Cuban commander Ernesto
Che Guevara, called on Monday in Lebanon for greater support for the
cause of the Palestinian people.<span id="gmail-more-23562"></span></p>
<p>In the context of her participation in the event of the ambassadors
of the Palestinian return, the internationalist doctor questioned the
silence of the world in the face of the crimes against humanity
committed against the Palestinian population.</p>
<p>During her intervention in the morning session, she insisted on the
need to achieve unity and coordinate actions in all latitudes and in
different spaces to reach as many people as possible in order to defend
the dignity and integrity of the Palestinians.</p>
<p>On the occasion, Aleida hoped to work as part of an expressed human
bloc in pursuit of a common goal, the sovereignty, stability and
development of the people.</p>
<p>In her opinion, Palestine requires the solidarity of all as Che
asked, in the sense of living together with the people, sharing the
daily reality and facing their own lives side by side.</p>
<p>How many images pass through our conscience when we speak of this
people, how much abuse, how much injustice, how much impotence, he said.</p>
<p>Incidentally, Aleida Guevara spoke of the steadfastness and struggle
of the Palestinians in more than seven decades of Israeli occupation. In
her words, she defended a full-fledged Palestine as a free and
sovereign people, where their children grow up with peace and joy.</p>
<p>The speech endorsed the right of self determination for a nation
owning its lands and borders and in this line of thought signified the
continuation of the struggle until victory is achieved.</p>
<p>The daughter of the heroic guerrilla Che Guevara together with other
personalities from Bahrain, Spain, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Algeria
and Lebanon will receive in Beirut the distinction of Ambassadors of
the Palestinian cause with the aim of strengthening the defense of this
people for their independence, sovereignty and freedom.</p>
<p>The event, organized by the Global Campaign for the Right of Return
of the Palestinian People, was also attended by representatives from
Chile, Australia, France, Indonesia, Jordan, Switzerland, Syria,
Venezuela, Iran, Pakistan, Scotland, Kuwait, Argentina and Iraq.</p>
<p>The following is <strong>Aleida Guevara’s full speech</strong> at the act of solidarity with the Palestinian cause held in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.</p>
<p>Dear comrades.</p>
<p>Brothers and sisters.</p>
<p>For me it is very difficult to talk about Palestine in a calm way,
the truth is that at this stage of life, it bothers me to talk about the
Return of Palestine, when we should be talking about the development of
Palestine, about the new projects for the construction of houses in its
national territory, about plans for the enrichment of its soils to make
them more fertile, about the projects of plans for the feeding of the
Palestinian people, in short, we should be talking in the middle of
Palestinian land.</p>
<p>How many years of confrontations, how many years of suffering, how
many crimes against humanity committed against a people whose only crime
was to be forced to share part of their territory with another people
who had practically been wiped off the face of the earth and who
gradually used their wealth and international influence to displace
them.</p>
<p>I feel very sorry for the loss of memory of an entire people, who
completely forgot the crimes committed against them for the simple fact
of being Jews and that today they practice them with total impunity on
their neighboring people.</p>
<p>Why do we still talk today about the return of Palestine, why have we
not been able to support more this brotherly people, why the world
seems to be deaf and blind to such a crime. What do we lack? Strength,
we lack strength, and to reach that necessary strength we need unity, to
coordinate actions in all latitudes, in all possible spaces, to reach
the greatest possible number of people, to touch their feelings, if we
are not capable of this, we will not be able to change the reality that
day by day consumes the joy of a people, their dignity and their
integrity.</p>
<p>The Peruvian poet César Vallejo said that there was a body that was
dying, people were joining around it, but the body continued to die,
until all humanity was by its side and it was only than that the body
reacted and began to walk and that is what Palestine needs, that all of
us are at its side and that is the solidarity that Che asked us, not
that which was offered to a gladiator in the Roman circus, but to live
with that people their daily reality and face side by side their own
lives.</p>
<p>This is my greatest wish, that as a human bloc we work towards a
common goal, the sovereignty, stability and development of the
Palestinian people.</p>
<p>How many images pass through our conscience when we speak of this
people, how many outrages, how many injustices, how much impotence? For
all those who are not physically present, for the comrades unjustly
imprisoned, for those who mourn their loved ones, but remain firm and
standing up for the struggle, I commit myself.</p>
<p>For a Palestine in full capacity as a free and sovereign people, for a
Palestine where its children grow with tranquility and joy, for
Palestine as the owner of its lands and its borders, for that Palestine
we will fight until victory and we will win.</p>
