In a meeting held the day before at the headquarters of the Cuban Association of United Nations (ACNU), Pineda recalled the forced displacement or expulsion by the Zionist regime of more than 700 thousand Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

That tragic episode that took place after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, known as the Nakba or catastrophe, in Arabic, shows that Israel constituted itself as a State through terrorist acts and massacring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, he said.

Palestinian resistance is not terrorism, resistance is a right and an obligation of the people of that Arab nation, expressed Pineda who is recognized for his passionate defense of the Caribbean island in the European Parliament, said.

Aware of the suffering and the enormous capacity of resistance of the Arab nation, where he lived for three years, the European Union parliamentarian denounced the United States as an accomplice of the acts of genocide committed by the Israeli government beginning last October 7.

The events that provoked the current massacre are not the origin of the problem, but the consequence of decades of humiliating occupation of Palestinian territory, the legislator pointed out.
