Palestine is the Red Line - Statement By TFoC

Dear Sisters/Brothers;We would like you to know that our work--in solidarity with the heroic people of Palestine who are experiencing a genocide of "Dante" proportions, as the Cuba’s president has put it—continues to expand! As a community based organization we are thrilled to see that, in Toronto’s Chinatown, Palestinian flags are painted on roof tops and walls as a gesture of solidarity. (photo attached) 
  On June 8, “Palestine is the Red Line, will be a regional gathering march to show that humanity's conscience cannot stand the ongoing Israeli slaughter of Palestinians. The  Palestinian Youth Movement and its allies are organizing; and in the very forefront of these expressions of  international solidarity are the young Jewish folks and in particular young Jewish women who are tirelessly defending the just cause of Palestinians against the ongoing genocidal occupation of their homeland.

  The historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raul Castro Ruz in a message to the youths in June 27, 1958 from Sierra Maestra, Cuba, stated: "There is thus only one outcome possible: either the beast is tamed, or it throws us off and tramples us. That depends on you, Cuban youth, Latin American youth, youth from anywhere in the world. If you maintain an indifferent silence, you will become accomplices of those who today murder us and tomorrow will murder you. It does not matter if you are North American, Soviet, Chinese, or Venezuelan; we are all brothers. Across borders, languages, political or religious beliefs, we all belong to the great family of the world's youth. We confront the same problems, suffer the same consequences, and live under the same threats. Faced with that, arm in arm, with a firm footing and with our heads held high, let us all sing the same hymn of hope. Let us aspire to and fight for peace and future happiness. And let us conquer the common good for the well-being of all."
  To be in solidarity with Cuba, against the ongoing genocidal U.S. economic, financial and trade blockade and the arbitrary inclusion of Cuba in the U.S. State Department's arbitrary list of "state sponsor of terrorism," is also to be in solidarity with the people of Palestine; because the same bloodthirsty imperialist system is feeding the Zionist apartheid state of Israel which is butchering innocent civilians-women, children and families--with starvation and bombardments of even "safe zones," frustrated at not being able to quash the resistance of the Palestinians!
 That is why we are proud to be walking shoulder to shoulder with our Palestinian brothers and sisters and their vanguard supporters who are none other that young Jewish women who tirelessly take on the hardest of tasks in making sure we are kept safe; and respond calmly to the nonsensical acts of the Zionists in Toronto and beyond! We salute these young leaders who are exemplified in the courageous and hearty young students from the University of Toronto camping out to demand the “Disclosure, Divestment and Boycott” of institutes involved in genocide and occupation.(Photo attached and please visit them.)
  Last but not least, we are getting ourselves ready to celebrate Cuba’s Rebellion Day of July 26 with a political/cultural act which will be dedicated to the heroic people of Palestine and the youth of the world who are leading the fight against the genocide! (flyer will be sent out shortly)
