Cuban intellectuals met the day before at the Havana headquarters of the organization where they expressed their rejection to the massacre of civilians in the territories of Palestine, as well as the pro-war policy of the United States, which supports Tel Aviv’s actions before the United Nations.

The poet Nancy Morejón, National Literature Prize winner, pointed out that the world is witnessing an extreme moment, what Commander in Chief Fidel Castro called in the sixties the philosophy of dispossession.

“The people of Palestine are paying a very high price, the price they have always paid for their territories. This population that has been displaced, is looking for its past, its origin and wants to be where it belongs, no one can steal it from them,” he said.

Graphic humorist and painter Arístides Hernández (Ares) lamented the loss of human lives, the destruction and wondered to what extent art has the strength to change all the terror of war and death.

“The only solution to all conflicts is in peace, war only enriches a few. I think that we artists must unite in defense of dialogue and creation,” he stressed. jrr/jav/mem/mml
