“Life is worth nothing / if I remain seated / after I have seen and dreamed / that, everywhere, they call me / Life is worth nothing / when others are killing themselves / and I am still here singing / as if nothing will happen. / Life is worth nothing / if I hear a mortal scream / and it is not able to touch / my fading heart. / Life is worth nothing / if I ignore that the murderer / took another path / and prepares another trap. / Life is worth nothing / if another brother is surprised / when I knew beforehand / what was being prepared.” -Poem and song by Pablo Milanes.
More than 30,000 killed and 100,000 wounded. Now the Zionazis also kill by way of hunger and thirst women, men, girls and boys, infections develop, in the only clinic that is still standing they check that pregnant women suffer from malnutrition, the Zionazis do not allow the trucks with food to pass and those that pass with medicines are searched and the Zionazis steal their anesthesia and the trucks that carry water are blown up, if the gazaties come to take the food that is delivered to them in a truck the Zionazis machine-gun them and bomb them from helicopters and airplanes, …. I do not repeat what you can see on the networks of solidarity with the people of Gaza. The full of what each one is comes from their formation and we see that the order that has pushed them to Palestine, the financialism of the great Zionist magnates, have invested billions to involve their capitalist allies in the genocide that since March 15, 1948 they sign with the name “Israel”. So let us repeat: “Life is worth nothing / if I sit still / after I have seen and dreamed / that, everywhere, they call me / Life is worth nothing / when others are killing themselves / and I am still here singing / as if nothing will happen. / Life is worth nothing / if I hear a mortal scream / and it is not able to touch / my fading heart. / Life is worth nothing / if I ignore that the murderer / took another path / and prepares another trap. / Life is worth nothing / if another brother is surprised / when I knew beforehand / what was being prepared.”
The war between opposites is the most violent expression of the ideological struggle, and it is formed by two edges: violence, composed of threat and force to conclude, and consciousness, which attends to the principle and set of facts, a formative binding. The Resistance for the Liberation of Palestine, as the Resistance of any people, must have tools for the conquest of its freedom, which are directed by morality, ethics, human consideration towards the other in front of it. The colonizer, the imperialist, has a past precisely contrary to respect, to ethics, to moral solidarity and capable of seeing the other as an equal because his formation stems from what colonization is composed of: we see them in Palestine pretending the “final solution”.
The streets are filled with protests in defense of the Palestinian people of Gaza, March 2 has been a World Day against Zionism and its genocide, the people have carried the cry of “stop the war”, “break relations with the Zionist entity”, “bring food, water, medicine”, “do not sell weapons to “Israel”, “judge the genocidal criminals”. The billions mobilized demand that the road to death be closed, life is worthless if, knowing what the criminal is doing, it is ignored as if nothing happened, as the European, British and American governments have shown. Voting as the government and most of the “opposition” in the Spanish regime has done in full, it can be seen that it is a little theater set up and directed from above, you can see the strings of each puppet, this time the main actor has appeared even with the name changed by its owners, the psoe: Zionist party of Spanish origin. It wanted to involve the parliament in the interests of colonialism and Zionism, and opposed to separate itself from such a system of oppression.

At the same time Cuba today, day 2, in a national demonstration in all the cities, raises more and more its voice against the genocides that want to make the Palestinian People disappear, and President Miguel Diaz Canel has called with all urgency to the world unity against the genocide in Gaza Palestine: “If (the Zionazis) unload the offensive against the last city of Gaza, Rafah, we will witness a holocaust in the XXI century”. And he declared that “Cuba will never be indifferent to crime and today Cubans are marching for peace, together with the peoples fighting for a better possible world. … the Gaza Strip, the largest open-air prison in the world, is turning into an extermination camp under the criminal and incessant bombardment ordered by Israel. You can know what happened in Cuba and see pictures and video at the following address: https://www.cubainformacion.tv/solidaridad/20240302/107842/107842-cuba-alza-su-voz-por-palestina-y-marcha-en-contra-del-genocidio-fotos
The US has vetoed 3 times in the UN Security Council that its colonial establishment, its armed wing in the Middle East, stops its genocide, continues to arm and finance the genocide, as does the government of the Spanish regime. That is what the historical body does to the oppressor class of the peoples of the world.
The Palestinian Resistance confronts with a courage superior to all dimensions and with very scarce means, the army of colonizers, the first reason is because Independence is life and it is worth everything much for Palestine, it does not ignore that the murderer goes his own way making more and more his own his cell. And here we must remember the principle of the peoples, the peoples, the proletarian peoples we owe to ethics, to morality, to internationalist political justice our acts of solidarity, for, “Life is worth nothing / if another brother is surprised / when I knew beforehand / what was being prepared.”
The Government of the Nicaraguan Revolution, with experience in numerous victories on the ground inflicted on the empire, and also in the International Court of Justice, accompanied in the denunciation to South Africa raising the flag of human dignity, the flag of internationalism so that, the popular people have with fighting pride the human values. The Government of the Sandinista Front has declared: “the legal action against “Israel” before the ICJ is a concrete step in compliance with the legal obligations that each State party to the Genocide Convention has the right and the duty to take”. The Revolutionary Government of Nicaragua has also extended its denunciation to England, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada for their support with arms and money to the colonial genocidal regime, which as if that were not enough participate in the slaughter by hunger and disease against the Palestinian People joining Zionism by taking away aid to UNRWA . The Good Government of the Sandinista Revolution knows that life is worth much and cannot sit still when it sees and dreams that in Gaza Palestine, everywhere they call it. President Daniel Ortega Saavedra sent a letter to Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN in June 2023, (when it was 37 years since the ICJ sentence condemning the US regime to pay for the damage it did to Nicaragua in the war it waged against it after the triumph of the Revolution), and in it he pointed out: “Nicaragua has been party to 15 major cases brought before the ICJ, and is the third country in the world with more cases resolved by that Court …
/ Life is worth nothing / when others are killing themselves / and I am still here singing / as if nothing will happen / Life is worth nothing / if I hear a mortal scream / and it is not able to touch / my fading heart.
An important fact of the action of the Palestinian Resistance, besides facing the genocide in the military field, it maintains the international political struggle: the leadership of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, DFLP, has been in Moscow meeting with representatives of the Russian government, and has expressed as an objective the national unity with the articulation and integration of all the organizations of the Resistance, and stresses “the need for all Palestinian components and actors to achieve a national programmatic vision for the struggle, … and restore the unity of Palestinian institutions including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. ” FDLP Deputy Secretary General Fahd Suleiman and members of the delegation stated at a press conference that they are working to stop the war against the Palestinian People of Gaza and to resume the provision of everything necessary for life. Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, expressed his wish that the Palestinian Resistance organizations overcome their division, and concluded by stating that only the creation of a Palestinian state will bring the desired stability to West Asia – Middle East.
Let us compare these goals and statements seeking Revolutionary unity with the value of life for the Palestinians, let no one pretend to be surprised to keep in mind their equivalence and the paramount importance of the outcome. The manner of waging war is also a form of ideological expression. “Life is worth nothing / if I ignore that the murderer / took another way / and prepares another trap. / Life is worth nothing / if another brother is surprised / when I knew beforehand / what was being prepared.”
