Sierra Aranzazu​

Spanish merchant ship

The Sierra Aránzazu was a Spanish-flagged merchant ship . On Sunday, September 13, 1964, it suffered a terrorist attack while sailing about 130 km northeast of the island of Cuba through the waters of the Bahamas channel perpetrated by the Revolutionary Recovery Movement (MRR), of an anti-Castro nature and financed and trained by the CIA , and which cost the lives of three of the crew members, including the captain.

History​

edit
The Sierra Aránzazu was the second of three cargo ships built by the Corcho Shipyards of Santander , after the Sierra Andia , the first of the series. It was launched in 1964 for the shipping company Marítima del Norte, which initially registered it in the Port of Santander and then in the Port of Bilbao . [ 2 ]

Terrorist attack​

edit
On September 13, 1964, the Sierra Aránzazu was sailing on its fourth trip through the Bahamas Channel in the Caribbean Sea about one hundred miles northeast of Guantanamo , bound for the port of Havana . It was carrying a varied cargo of food, textiles, agricultural material, toys, and other goods. The government of dictator Francisco Franco of Spain maintained open trade with Cuba despite the United States embargo and criticism from anti-Castro movements . [ 3 ] The shipping company Compañía del Norte, owner of the Sierra Aránzazu , began to exploit commercial activity between the two countries in the early years of the Cuban Revolution . [ 1 ]
At around 13:00 hours on 13 September, [ 3 ] a United States Coast Guard maritime patrol aircraft flew over the Spanish freighter several times at very low altitude.
Several hours later, at 19:50, a launch approached the freighter from the stern, illuminating its license plate. Just 10 minutes later, two launches intercepted the Sierra Aránzazu from each side , initiating the attack with machine gun fire and some 20 and 40 mm cannon fire. [ 3 ] In just 4 minutes, the bridge and crew quarters were attacked, [ 3 ] in an attempt to massacre the freighter's crew and prevent any distress call. The freighter suffered a fire in a diesel tank and the captain, seriously wounded by the shots, ordered an emergency call to be made and abandon ship. [ 3 ] The crew's attempt to launch one of the two lifeboats was answered by the attackers with machine gun fire, which caused serious injuries to one crew member. [ 1 ]
The twenty crew members of the Sierra Aránzazu finally managed to abandon ship and reach safety. The attackers illuminated the boat as it moved away but did not attack it. Instead, the Sierra Aránzazu , with no one on board, was attacked for another 10 minutes. [ 3 ] The survivors remained in the open for twelve hours until they were rescued, during which time the captain and the third engineer died from serious injuries. On two occasions during the course of the night a boat was heard approaching, but the survivors, due to the darkness, were unable to determine its nature. [ 3 ]
The Dutch freighter P. G. Thulin , which had approached the Sierra Aránzazu after seeing the flames of the fire still affecting the Spanish freighter, began the search efforts at first light in the morning and in coordination with a plane of the United States Coast Guard. The rescue carried out by the P. G. Thulin occurred around 10 in the morning after the reconnaissance plane indicated the position of the boat. [ 3 ]
The second officer died on board the rescue vessel from his injuries. The survivors, including several wounded, and the bodies of the deceased were landed at Matthew Town ( Inagua , Bahamas ). Within a few hours they were taken to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base by a United States Navy aircraft and on the 15th to Puerto Rico , from where they were finally repatriated to Spain. [ 3 ] [ 1 ]

Victims​

edit
As a result of the terrorist attack, three crew members of the Sierra Aránzazu were killed:
  • Pedro Ibargurengoitia García (b. 1922 in Górliz , Vizcaya), captain of the Sierra Aránzazu , married with two children. Employee of the Maritime Authority of the North since 1958.
  • Francisco Javier Cabello Fernández (b. 1934), second officer. Single. He had been working for the Northern Maritime Company for a few months.
  • José Vaquero Iglesias (born in 1941 in Villablino , León) third engineer. Single.

Authorship​

edit
Initially, the Spanish government issued a note of protest to the United States government , believing that the attack took place in waters controlled militarily by forces of that country. [ 4 ] In Spain, upon learning of the attack, protests took place in front of the United States embassy in Madrid and at the consulate in Vigo . Despite the initial strong condemnation and the commitment of Dean Rusk , Secretary of State of the United States , to investigate what happened, [ 4 ] at the diplomatic level the matter quickly fell into oblivion without clarifying the responsibility for the attack. [ 1 ] At first, the anti-Castro armed groups spread the lie that Castro forces had been responsible for the attack, although later that version was compromised when it became known that forces of the Revolutionary Recovery Movement had participated. [ 1 ]
The attack was authorized from Nicaragua by Cuban CIA agent Félix Rodríguez , [ 5 ] who later blamed it on a "mistake." According to his version, the attackers mistook the Sierra Aránzazu for the Sierra Maestra , the flagship of the Cuban Navy. [ 6 ]

Post activity​

edit
On 14 September, four torpedo boats of the Revolutionary Navy (of Cuba) found the Sierra Aránzazu still on fire. They relayed their position ( 21°40′N 74°08′W / 21.667, -74.133 ). [ 7 ]
At dawn on September 15, the tug Diez de Octubre , which had set sail from Santiago de Cuba with the mission of extinguishing the fire and towing the freighter towards the Cuban coast, approached the Sierra Aránzazu , which continued to burn. [ 8 ] Initially its work was hampered by the USCGC Reliance , a United States Coast Guard patrol boat that was also on the scene. [ 3 ] Two MIG-17 fighter planes of the Revolutionary Air Force flew over the freighter, dove on the ships in salute, and returned to their base in Holguín . [ 8 ] Water cannons were put into operation from the tug to put out the flames. Everything possible was done to drag it to the coast (130 km away), while continuing to fight the fire. Later another Cuban tug, the Macabí , joined the rescue . Heavy waves hampered operations and the towing cables broke twice, but the men in charge of the operation continued forward. [ 8 ]
At ten o'clock in the morning on September 16, after a hazardous voyage, the Sierra Aránzazu, with a list to port of about 10 to 15 degrees, was anchored in Nipe Bay , very close to the coast, 3 km from the sugar loading dock at Preston, 10 km from the port of Antilla (in Holguín). The efforts to rescue the ship and the cargo immediately continued. The first task was to finally put out the fire, working in the midst of smoke and heat. The battle took long days, and was so difficult and risky that several men were injured by burns and others suffered from suffocation. [ 8 ]
On September 19, 1964, in Madrid (Spain), a thousand people gathered in front of the American embassy , chanting "Murderers!" and "Cuba yes, Yankees no!". [ 9 ]
The ship was left in very bad condition and sunk by the large amount of water that had entered. Around 800 bullet holes were counted, and some 30 and 40 mm projectiles used in the attack were also recovered. [ 3 ] After salvage work, which lasted sixteen days, [ 10 ] it was successfully refloated.
Thanks to the floating crane barge Bohemia, with a capacity of 30 tons, which arrived from Havana towed by the Cristino Naranjo, the hatches of the holds could be opened in order to bail out the water and remove the remains of the cargo, both the usable one (rather scarce, around 20 percent of the total) and the one that was completely lost. It was possible to save part of the dolls (children's toys), the fabrics, the cognac and some garlic, and all the agricultural material. On Wednesday, September 30, 1964, the salvage work was completed. [ 10 ] The Cuban ferry Finisterre [ 10 ] began its transfer to Spain. Due to the belligerent attitude of the American Government, Fidel Castro asked the Soviet Government that a nuclear submarine escort the convoy to within a hundred miles of the island of Puerto Rico (which was invaded by the United States). [ 10 ]
The voyage was complicated by bad weather throughout the journey and by the low power of the tugboat. On board the Sierra Aránzazu were two men from the Finisterre who were in charge of keeping a generator provided by the Cuban government running. [ 10 ] They also took care of the night lighting, securing the tow and pumping out any water that entered the merchant ship. There was always permanent radio contact between the two ships, except for the occasional communication problem. [ 10 ] During the voyage they were flown over almost daily by American planes, which threatened to fly low. [ 10 ] Sometimes the Sierra Aránzazu was tilted forward, and sometimes towards the stern. They were many days of stumbling until on December 13, at five in the morning, the tow cable was cut and the Finisterre lost the Sierra Aránzazu. With no visibility, strong waves and heavy showers, the tugboat began the search, although without the help of the radar, which was out of order. It took three days to find the ship. [ 10 ]
On December 25, 1964, they arrived in Las Palmas (Canary Islands). At night, both ships docked at a dock in Puerto de La Luz next to the ocean liner Queen Mary . After several days of waiting for a final destination, where everything was one rumor after another, it was confirmed that it would be Santander. On January 5, 1965, in the middle of the trip to the Cantabrian capital, one of the sailors of the tugboat was seriously injured in the face. They found medical help in Corcubión , where they arrived on January 6 at 7:00 a.m. [ 10 ]
On January 9 at noon they arrived in Santander (Spain). [ 2 ] Cuba returned the Sierra Aránzazu to the Spanish shipping company without later claiming the cost of the transfer, as it would have been entitled to according to maritime law. The Castro government also immediately compensated the families of the three sailors killed by the CIA. [ 8 ] [ 11 ]
Later, the Spanish Government - under the power of the Franco dictatorship - sued the US Government, which forced the CIA to compensate Spain for the value of one million dollars [ 12 ] (which in 2015 would be equivalent to eight million dollars).
The repair of the Sierra Aránzazu took place in 1965 for a period of 7 months, in works carried out by the Astilleros de Santander, S. A. and with an approximate cost of 25 million pesetas . In 1967 it returned to the shipyards of Santander to be converted into a refrigerated vessel. [ 3 ]
In 1983, the Compañía Maritima del Norte sold the Sierra Aránzazu and its sister ship Sierra Andia to the Banco Nacional Pesquero y Portuario (of Mexico). In October 1983, the Sierra Aránzazu suffered a serious accident while anchored in Mazatlán as a result of the strong waves generated by Hurricane Tico . The collision with the breakwater of the port caused its sinking, which led to its eventual scrapping. [ 2 ]

In fact, economies in forced autarky are wishing to be able to get out of it, and this forces them to try to overcome this autarky by trading with other forced autarchies ("trade between outcasts")...: I believe that the turn to Soviet post-Stalinism The Cuban Revolution was largely the fault and unintended consequence of the economic war led by the USA.

But as I said, forced autarky also forces us to make "strange bedfellows" between supposedly totally antagonistic regimes; This occurred during the final death throes of the last phase of Franco's capitalist autarky (when international sanctions disappeared to fully incorporate Francoism into the world free market; but this was still not enough for the poor Francoist economy) , when the Franco dictatorship was forced to annoy and anger its main ally the USA (which was also the government that was making the capitalist world lift its economic sanctions on the bloody dictatorship), with a small fleet of merchant ships that managed to circumvent the military blockade US naval service to Cuba, to be able to trade with the Castro regime...

See if Franco's capitalist economy must have been desperate, which was putting at risk all the good things that Francoism was beginning to enjoy thanks to the American decision to integrate the Spanish dictatorship into the "Western free world", and when Spain was already the most fervent ally from the USA in Europe; so much so that the USA granted Franco the unofficial title of being its "sentinel in Southwestern Europe and Northwestern Africa"... Which Franco did take as part of the bombastic official title that accompanied his name on the emblems: "Franco: Caudillo of Spain by The Glory Of God (and this included Allah in Spanish-Franco Muslim Africa) and Sentinel of the West"...

This strange military alliance between a capitalist dictatorship and an increasingly dictatorial socialist revolution continued until the USA managed to sink the first Spanish cargo ship.

About this curious episode in the history of Cuba-Spain-USA, I will post an illustrative article later.



"The Spanish merchant ship Sierra Aranzazu :
There were few voices, only moans and a few orders from the provocative boats. The ones who carried the voice were the guns that riddled the ship from both sides and decorated the scene of muzzle flashes, giving an even more dramatic tone to the event. Several explosions like incendiary grenades were heard amid the phrasing of the machine guns and a few minutes later the ship began to take on a reddish glow inside that grew until it became tongues of flame that spread rapidly.

Meanwhile, the remaining 17 crew members of the Sierra Aranzazu dodged the fire and managed to transport the captain and the wounded officers to safety. They then noticed, horrified, that the fire in the holds was growing fiercer and threatened to spread to the fuel tanks. The ship was becoming a powerful time bomb. Someone proposed abandoning it. Without waiting for the harassment of the bullets to subside, they lowered some lifeboats and to reach them many had to jump into the water where they were also shot at, in a maddening cruelty by those on the boat, who took to their heels moments later, disappearing into the dark night.

The sailors quickly sailed away in their boats from the battered merchant ship, which, cooked by the fire and the explosions, lay there, adrift, burning in the middle of the night like a soul condemned to hell. Pedro, the captain, and the two wounded officers slowly gave in to death in the arms of their companions, who could do nothing against the drift of fate.

Story without end
The story of what happened to the sailors of the Sierra Aranzazu on September 17, 1964, when they were loaded with merchandise for Cuba, does not end there. Luckily they were rescued at dawn the next day by a Dutch merchant ship that transported them to the Bahamas."

PG Thulin

A-1.2 The Dutch ore carrier PG Thulin involved in violent incident in the Caribbean Sea.

Facts Hits: 710

True event in the Caribbean Sea, recorded by Captain van Beek, at the time 1st mate on the PG. Thulin. Mr. van Beek (now 81 years or older?) wants to expressly state that his memories go back about 40 years in time. It may therefore happen that some of the items told may deviate a fraction from the true event.

Captain van Beek says:

"On September 13, 1964 we sailed with the PG Thulin in the Caribbean Sea off Jamaica. We had a cargo of iron ore on board, which had been loaded in Chile, off the US-E coast.

7plaatsvanhetincident.jpg
Location of the incident

Early in the morning at daylight we saw a burning, unknown ship. At that time we were sailing about 76 miles north of Cabo Maisi (Punta de Maisi) in Cuba. Afterwards it turned out to be the "Sierra Aranzazu".

2esierra%20aranzazu.jpg

We sailed to the ship and launched a sloop. With this the 2nd mate (I have forgotten his name) and a few sailors went to the ship to see what was going on.

They found that the lifeboats of the ship had already disappeared. The lifeboats were also no longer seen by us on the Thulin near the burning ship. In the meantime, the PG. Thulin had contacted a station at Maimi. The US Coastguard's order was to remain on the spot.

PG%20Thulin%20%201955%20b.jpg

It was reported that a plane would be sent to search for the boats. After an hour the plane arrived at our place from Quantanamobay.

The plane started to fly an expanding circle with the PG. Thulin as the center, looking for the boats. After about 20 minutes the plane reported that it had found the boats north of us. If I remember correctly this was about 10 miles away.
We were ordered to sail to the given position and after sailing for about an hour we indeed found 2 boats, again according to my best memories). With the loading booms, which were located behind the midships, the boats were hoisted on board and placed on deck at the height of the portside manifold.

The sloop alongside the PG Thulin.

One of the sloops appeared to have been shot at by a "torpedo boat". The bullet holes can still be seen in the photos. This punctured sloop was kept afloat by hosen (according to the stories of the survivors). During the shelling two crew members were killed and a third crew member was seriously injured.

Kogelgaten%20in%20de%20sloep.jpg

The rest of the crew appeared to be more or less lightly injured, but not threatening. The healthy personnel had already climbed onto deck with rope ladders. The dead and seriously injured were hoisted on board together with the lifeboats. As first mate, I gave first aid to the injured. The seriously injured man still died within a few hours. I even had to amputate one person's little finger.

10020lege20sloep20Sierra20Aranzazu.jpg
The sloop hoisted on board the PG Thulin

After about 2 hours we were confronted with a 'torpedo boat' coming alongside us while we were floating.
This was probably the same one that had set the ship on fire. 3 or 4 people from this ship came on board with us. They came to the bridge where at least the captain, me as first mate and the mate of the watch were present. The men from the torpedo boat demanded that we hand over the castaways to them. To my great admiration, captain Groendijk refused to hand over these people.
Captain Groendijk feared that these people would be murdered after being handed over to the torpedo boat crew. To our surprise, they accepted this and left. We were ordered by the US Coast Guard to drop off the crew members of the "Sierra Aranzazu" in the southern part of Haiti???
Our first plan was to give the deceased a seaman's grave on the spot. In a photo you can see the deceased lying on deck with the plank next to them to throw them overboard.

doden%20op%20de%20bodem%20van%20de%20sloep.jpg

The overboard plank with the three body bags

In accordance with the order of the US Coastguard we delivered the crew members with the three bodies under the coast, to whom or what I do not know anymore. After this we continued our journey. What happened to the lifeboats is unknown to me, probably they were also delivered.

Upon arrival in the US captain Groendijk was called ashore to make a statement to the authorities about what had happened. Afterwards it turned out that the "Sierra Aranzazu" was on its way from Spain to the Cuba of Fidel Castro (who had not been in power there for very long). There were rumours that the cargo that the ship had on board was destined for Cuba.

We never heard what happened to the burning "Sierra Aranzazu". The reason I remember the date of September 13 so well is that the day before I had heard that I had become a father for the third time (via a telegram upon leaving the Panama Canal I learned that my daughter Carla had been born)."

This is the story from the mouth of the first mate, later captain Van Beek of the PG. Thulin.

Surely it's because they spend the money on crack, according to Cabezapollo.
...How much damage did Ronald Reagan and his actions, flooding American neighborhoods with crack...
He should have settled for the money for selling weapons to the regime of the Iranian Ayahtolas, but that's what happens with pure unlimited ambition and, as we say here, "la ansia viva"...

Fact check. None of this is true 👍

Pffff... You are getting "worse than Cagancho in Almagro"... It's been a long time since I've seen someone "try so hard and insistently" to look completely ridiculous...

(Fact check, says the chicken, that when he doesn't like the official data from the US government on hunger in the USA, he tells us about North Korean propaganda about it...)

Be careful that autarky chosen because you can afford it is not the same as forced autarky (as during their respective moments in Francoist capitalist Spain or in Castroist socialist Cuba).

Furthermore, since the industrial revolution, I see it as very difficult for capitalist utarchy to have to face other foreign economies with more free international markets.
This was already discussed in communism and its economic model: one-country socialism vs. internationalist socialism, Stalin vs. Trosky. And I believe history agrees with Trosky: If world capitalism declares economic war on a country with an isolated socialist economy, either it has a "large living space" of its own where it can obtain resources, or a international capitalism attack will manage to undermine its economy and development.
Note that Stalin's USSR had a "very wide living space", but even so, it was much more limited than that of international capitalism. And when, with its economic-military war, the USA made the USSR have to dedicate more than 20% of its wealth to its own military program (I don't remember the exact number), the USSR finally collapsed.
For this reason, I see the position of a certain Marxist socialism (without further additions), a certain Marxism-Lenism (be it Eurocommunism-Neocommunism, or a certain Trotskyism), a certain Third Way's Socialism, and a certain Social Democracy as very correct:

Pepe Mújica:​

"Socialism is not to fight against freedom or against the market, but against selfishness" :​

"When Socialism comes to power, although it supports self-management and social participation to the maximum possible, it should not begin to fight against the market: it should "overcome" it if possible, over time, combining social participation with the best of private initiative"
An example of when Revolutionary Marxism is democratically elevated to power:
Pepe Mujica; an example of struggle, humility, stoicism, coherence, and humanism.

"Putin's barbarism is a consequence of the "false closure" of the Cold War"

"History showed that attempting certain socialisms and by the methods used were not possible, and furthermore, as Olof Palme said, they were the longest and most painful path to Capitalism"

"When Socialism comes to power, although it supports self-management and social participation to the maximum possible, it should not begin to fight against the market: it should "overcome" it if possible, over time, combining social participation with the best of private initiative"

"I don't know if an authentic Socialist "Revolution" is possible or not, but I do see it as more impossible the more Third World, backward and uneducated a country/society is:

"No social fighter can completely discard the armed struggle in the face of a dictatorship."

"Old age has made me more conservative..., but despite my gray hair, I never betrayed the Marxist fighter inside me: I still firmly believe that Capitalism must be overcome by society, because Capitalism takes us to a gigantic grave for the species"

They seek out an easy lifestyle and a care free drug lifestyle.
Sorry I have firsthand experience with these types. They are not victims.

but the lifestyle is super appealing to the young people

'Krokodil', the 'zombie drug' causing terror in Russia​

It acts in a similar way to heroin on the brain, but also eats away at the skin and bones.​

MORE INFORMATION


The war on drugs has a dangerous enemy that is gaining addicts in European countries: desomorphine, a synthetic mixture that acts in a similar way to morphine. It is used as an alternative drug to heroin and generates terrifying effects on the human body, due to the combination of other toxic and corrosive substances.
1727721628619.png

Krokodil' addicts in the city of Yekaterinburg, in the Ural Mountains, (Russia)

It is also popularly known as 'krokodil', 'crocodile', 'zombie drug', 'cannibal drug' or 'poor man's heroin'. The first known case came to light approximately 10 years ago.
Its main characteristic is eating away at the skin of addicts until the bones are exposed. The skin of consumers turns greenish and begins to peel off, just like the texture of some reptiles, hence its name alluding to the crocodile.
1727722018547.png


The International Journal of Drug Policy has revealed a list of the physical consequences of addiction to this substance. The main ailments include thrombosis and hemorrhages, skin ulcers, loss of limbs, skin peeling, gangrene, kidney and liver failure, among many others.
1727722058847.png


The United Nations' 2012 drug report revealed that Krokodil became popular in Russia due to a heroin shortage between 2010 and 2011, which arose from low opiate production in countries such as Afghanistan.
1727722083970.png


Another reason why its use has gained popularity in Europe is its cost, which can be four times less than that of a dose of heroin.
Desomorphine is manufactured at home from codeine and a mixture of other harmful substances.
1727722562028.png


One of the actions of the Russian government to stop the consumption of this deadly drug was to ban the free sale of medicines containing codeine in pharmacies. Since June 1, 2012, it can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription.

In October 2013, the scientific journal 'American Journal of Medicine' revealed one of the first cases of addiction in the United States. The case occurred in a 30-year-old man, in the town of Richmond Heights (Missouri), who lost one of his fingers after his skin began to rot due to the consumption of the 'zombie drug'.

According to official statements by the head of the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, Viktor Ivanov, in recent years there has been a 23 percent increase in seizures of desomorphine in this country.

Dependence on the drug, which is administered intravenously, sets in immediately after the first dose. It is estimated that there are already more than one million addicts and their life expectancy does not exceed three years.
"Due to the low cost and availability of codeine-containing ingredients, desomorphine has become the second most common drug in Russia after heroin," official documents from the Russian Federal Drug Control Service say.

MORE INFORMATION


The war on drugs has a dangerous enemy that is gaining addicts in European countries: desomorphine, a synthetic mixture that acts in a similar way to morphine. It is used as an alternative drug to heroin and generates terrifying effects on the human body, due to the combination of other toxic and corrosive substances.

Krokodil' addicts in the city of Yekaterinburg, in the Ural Mountains, (Russia)

It is also popularly known as 'krokodil', 'crocodile', 'zombie drug', 'cannibal drug' or 'poor man's heroin'. The first known case came to light approximately 10 years ago.
Its main characteristic is eating away at the skin of addicts until the bones are exposed. The skin of consumers turns greenish and begins to peel off, just like the texture of some reptiles, hence its name alluding to the crocodile.
View attachment 19076025

The International Journal of Drug Policy has revealed a list of the physical consequences of addiction to this substance. The main ailments include thrombosis and hemorrhages, skin ulcers, loss of limbs, skin peeling, gangrene, kidney and liver failure, among many others.
View attachment 19076026

The United Nations' 2012 drug report revealed that Krokodil became popular in Russia due to a heroin shortage between 2010 and 2011, which arose from low opiate production in countries such as Afghanistan.
View attachment 19076027

Another reason why its use has gained popularity in Europe is its cost, which can be four times less than that of a dose of heroin.
Desomorphine is manufactured at home from codeine and a mixture of other harmful substances.

Letter from the Political Bureau of the Lebanese Communist Party to the Communist, Workers' and Progressive Parties Regarding the Recent Zionist Attacks on Lebanon :​


1727726296915.png


Screenshot_2024_0930_214758.png


As the genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation army against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip continues, along with its brutal attacks in the West Bank and several countries in the region, the occupation is attacking Lebanon, particularly the south, with repeated daily assaults. These attacks occur under the full cover of the imperialist governments, led by the United States of America, resulting since October 7th until today in the documented deaths of more than 43,000 martyrs in Gaza and more than 700 martyrs from our country, Lebanon.

1727725893095.png

In this context, the recent escalation in Lebanon includes the attack on thousands of pager devices on September 17, followed by wireless radio devices on September 18. This led to the death of 32 martyrs and around 3,000 wounded after these devices exploded in the hands of their bearers, in safe houses and institutions. This was a described terrorist attack that targeted users of communication devices, including civilians, resistance fighters and workers in health and social institutions, after these devices were sabotaged with explosives by Mossad agents before being imported into Lebanon.

1727725939389.png


These terrorist attacks aim to intimidate the Lebanese people and force them to submit to the conditions of the Zionist enemy and its backer, the United States, by preventing the Lebanese national forces from supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza. They also seek to strengthen security control over the entire region, consolidate the influence of the imperialist powers over oil resources and trade routes, and maintain Israel’s qualitative military and security superiority, as Israel plays a crucial role in this broader project.

1727725962416.png


International solidarity with the Lebanese people and their right to resist occupation is required today more than ever, as is condemnation of the Israeli aggression on their territories, and the continuation of the campaign of solidarity with the Palestinian people to stop the genocidal war against them.

1727726000337.png


The Political Bureau of the Lebanese Communist Party counts on the support of the communist, workers' and progressive parties for its just cause and their readiness to act in solidarity with Lebanon, Palestine and the peoples of the region. It calls on these parties to raise their voices in their countries, in their statements, movements and especially in political and popular actions in front of the Israeli and American embassies, as well as in national and regional parliaments, and in various international institutions. They are also urged to provide assistance to health and social organizations to support the resistance of the Lebanese people :
- For the immediate cessation of the genocidal war in Gaza and the aggression against Lebanon and other countries in the region.

- For the strengthening of international solidarity among peoples.

- For the confrontation of imperialist and Zionist wars and aggressions.

Diaz celebrates a "historic day" but calls for an arms embargo on Israel: "Recognition of Palestine is not enough"​

THE HOUR OF 1

Díaz celebrates a “historic day” but calls for an arms embargo on Israel: “Recognition of Palestine is not enough”
1727728254665.png



The Second Vice President of the Government, Minister of Labor and leader of Sumar coalition and member of the Comunist Party of Spain, Yolanda Díaz , has celebrated that this is “a historic day ” because “finally” Spain has recognized the State of Palestine , but has warned that this “is not enough” and has asked that the Israeli ambassador be called for consultations, the embargo of arms to Israel and that the Executive join the lawsuit of South Africa against Israel for “genocide”.

1727728600256.png


In an interview on TVE, Díaz welcomed the announcement made minutes earlier by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to recognise the State of Palestine with the borders prior to 1967. In the opinion of the Second Vice-President, Spain is fulfilling “a mandate of more than ten years” and has stressed that this is the path “that should lead us towards peace”.

“The step we are taking today is key, but also, with what we are seeing and what is being experienced in Palestine, we must say that it is not enough and that we have to take steps forward ,” stressed the minister, who has urged Sánchez to “take steps forward” by calling the Israeli ambassador for consultations, to join South Africa in denouncing Israel for “ genocide ” and to proceed with an arms embargo on Israel.

"We are facing a real massacre, a genocide"

For Díaz, what is happening in Gaza “is a real massacre, a genocide.” “We are facing a government, that of Benjamin Netanyahu, of the extreme right , which violates and infringes all international human rights legislation and which challenges all institutions in the world, including the Government of Spain or the Secretary General of the UN,” he said. “Something must be done because it is violating international law,” he stressed.

1727728649911.png


This Tuesday , Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz referred to Díaz , comparing the second vice president of the Government with the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, and the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. In addition, he accused Sánchez of being "complicit" in inciting the murder of Jews by not dismissing her.

1727728793361.png


Díaz believes that what happened last week with the International Criminal Court's order for the arrest of Netanyahu and the leaders of the Hamas terrorist organization for war crimes is a path that must be continued. "What is happening is extremely serious, we are not aware of what we are seeing." And he stressed: "We are facing an extreme right-wing government that challenges international law and allows itself the luxury of attacking all the institutions around it."

He accuses the PSOE of "disloyalty" after unsuccessfully requesting data on the agreement with Ukraine

On the other hand, she was asked about the sending of 1,000 million euros of military aid to Ukraine . Díaz has reproached Sánchez for the “lack of transparency” and “loyalty” with Sumar, who had previously requested information on these “extremely high amounts” to know “what the hell was being talked about”. Thus, she has criticised the fact that the socialist part of the Executive did not respond until the aid was made public on Monday.

However, he criticised the fact that the PSOE is “protecting itself” by saying that the agreement signed on Monday between Sánchez and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and not an international treaty and saying that the approval of Congress is therefore not necessary, “but that is not what it is about”. “These are very high amounts in a country that does not have a budget and for a long-term decision”, he asserted, and he launched a final criticism in this regard: “A transparent and democratic debate is prevented”.

GAZA WAR | Yolanda Díaz's video that has outraged the Israeli government | EL PAÍS :​

With the embers of anger still burning over the announcement by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, that he will recognise the Palestinian State, a phrase (“from the river to the sea”) by the Second Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Labour, Yolanda Díaz, has sparked a new Israeli retaliation this Friday. Her Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, has announced the decision to “cut the connection” between the Spanish Embassy in Tel Aviv and the Palestinians and to “prohibit the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from providing services to the Palestinians” in the West Bank. In addition, he describes Díaz as “an ignorant and hate-filled person” and urges her to “learn about 700 years of Islamic rule in Al Andalus, present-day Spain” if “she wants to understand what radical Islam really wants”. The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has announced this morning that he will protest and has defended himself from the accusations of the Israeli Government by denying that there are “anti-Semites” in the Executive. The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, has also regretted that every show of support for Palestine as a state is being turned into “an anti-Semitic attack.”

If I have to fight, I fight with a knife

to heal the blows : alcohol with iodine...

The town, the hamlet, the neighborhood, all the projects,
the deformed, the marginalized, all the afflicted,
walking firmly, straight, direct,
without kneeling, standing upright,
we're walking on a fine line,
but not even kryptonite can knock us down.
The president is afraid of us,
because the hero of a nation
is the terrorist of its opponent.

Villa España, Covadonga, Barboza and Oren
Fuertes, Lands, Canals, Las Monjas too,
hopefully, the 13th and 18th neighborhoods will join,
Agua Blanca in Cali, Medellin, the communes of
Ciudad Bolivar in Bogota whats up!,
Chacarita in Paraguay, Barrio Borro in Uruguay,
Brazil and all its Fabelas,
Barrio Pinto, Salinas, and January 23 in Venezuela.
