91. How would he know, he's never been here
Israeli   (06.12.10)
Come here to see the truth then talk,
92. Moron!
K.O'Neil ,   London uk   (06.12.10)
Why bother printing what this old twit says! I wouldn't want to be in his shoes " He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps"
93. crasto - you go before mirror
jayampathi de silva ,   sri lanka   (06.12.10)
better you and your regime go before the mirror!
94. Castro
David Moshe ,   Israel   (06.12.10)
You are from a converso family. How can you say such things?
95. I find it quaintly amusing
Chris Linthwaite   (06.12.10)
to witness the level of hysteria by some of the posters here. When all Israelis and Israel firsters have to say is there are no crematoriums and there are 1.5 million people living in Gaza. In a state of siege admittebly, unable to leave certainly, but there is no policy of genocide only ghettoisation. But it is amusing to read many of the responses although I suspect quite a few of them are Hispanics living in Miami.
96. No Chris, it ain't amusing at all
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.12.10)
That the Palestinian propaganda machine has brainwashed masses of people into thinking like Castro - an octogenarian tyrant who enslaved and impoverished his country for 5 decades. Pal propaganda has convinced "pro-Palestinians" to indeed claim that Israel is committing "genocide" and that Gazans are "starving", and that blowing up civilian buses is "legitimate right to resist the occupation". Bah. While your point about a "ghettoisation" might have some merit, the level of hysteria by the pro-Pal camp far exceeds any screeching by us Israelis. They listen to Castro and might actually believe the shmuck.
97. Fidel has taken the path of other Nazi sympathisers
Hunt S. Cross ,   England   (06.12.10)
He has a long record of anti-semitism: http://www.brookesnews.com/062310castro.html When Fidel refers to Cuba's saving Jews from persecution, he conveniently forgets to mention that the regime which did that is the one that he violently overthrew.
98. Fidel
Altnabreac ,   Scotland   (06.12.10)
Good on you Fidel! The Israeli state must be exposed for what it is.
99. #32
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (06.12.10)
You did not explain what similarities you believe there are between SA and the Jewish State.The following positions have been filled by Israeli Arabs:acting president of Israel,speaker of the Knesset,at least one general in the IDF,cabinet members,diplomats,officers and enlisted people in the IDF,judges(including the highest court),attorneys, engineers,business leaders ,scientists,medical doctors and on.Did the SA apartheid allow for these positions to be filled by blacks?
100. Thank You Fidel.
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.12.10)
Orwell said and I quote, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." The truth isn't anti-semitic. Tell it like it is Fidel! Viva la Revolucion!!!
101. he is right
ali   (06.12.10)
ther is the second holocaust coming for israelis. israelis are stupid people because of the religion. Judaism equals eugenetisism and eugenetisism constitue racism. that's why nobody like the arrogant jews. but you guys are stupid enough not to understand this.i know this very wel. you need more time to realize the true nature of your eugenetisistic religion.
102. Castro's training
Kenneth Dwelley ,   Whiting, USA   (06.12.10)
When the US decided, @ 1953/4, to train Cubans, the selected one was General Ernesto Bayo, spanish civil war veteran and as hard core a Stalinst as ever was. WHO picked this trainer? Tthis is a question worthy of answer, and is likely key to bay of pigs aborted unanswered questions also. Note also proximity in time frame to the also unanswered questions of CIA "mole hunt".
103. #100 You notice that Fidel is an inFidel and as such a Dihim
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (06.12.10)
saying anything that pleases his Islamic tormentors, not necessarily what he believes. You are of the same kind, not believable.
104. So?
Nancy ,   Sydney, Australia   (06.12.10)
Who gives a crap what that two bit dictator thinks or says? The fact that he even says this is proof that only the bad guys attack Israel.
105. Castro
e18pirate ,   London UK   (06.12.10)
You really want the USA to bring you in from the cold after this. Forget it. You are well out of line. This is typical of the international conspiracy against israel. I am not Jewish by the way. I just want the world to get off israel's back because I am not impressed by the track record of countries that are always critical of that energetic, assertive, democratic state. Long Live Israel and damn its enemies

Galutia ,   Selah   (06.13.10)
careful we are stretching the capacity of research skillls of some of Ynets posters...indeed he did - many dead at his hands....one of the first political stories I followed with interest....Castro was always spouting off firey speeches...
110. #99 Moshe

The Devil is in the Detail with regard to in Apartheid in Israel. You've a Druze general, one Judge in the Supreme court, and yes, indeed, you've a number of other posts filled by Arabs.HOWEVER, for the ordinary Arab/Palestinian in Israel, dig deeper and you'll find a number of anomalies. 1.Land purchase; Ostensibly, anyone can build in Israel. Fact is though, Arabs less likely to get planning permission.Arab areas are severly restricted in expanding, whereas Jewish areas get way more leway in planning, building, etc. Also, 90% of land is state owned. To lease it, one must be a member of a privateland co-op. Most of these accept only Jews. 2. Other anomalies exist in education funding, public amenities etc. I recommend Susan Nathan's 'The Other Side of Israel' for further research 3.De facto state of affairs in the West Bank show great similarities with Apartheid. Illegal "settlers" get water diverted to their colonies, have roads reserved for them and live under Israeli civil law. Palestinians live under military law, have their land pollluted by and are attacked by settlers, with the acquiesence of the IDF. Israel often calls the West Bank disputed territory, but will never annex it. If they did so, they'd either have to give citizenship to the Palestinians, thus creating a demographic voting threat, or have to enshrine an Apartheid system in law, denying the West Bank residents full rights. Keeping a de fact limbo alllows for de facto Apartheid, without having to openly admit to the world that yes indeed, Israel is an Apartheid state. 4. Such a state of affairs already exists in East Jerusalem, where natives of the area have had their "residency" status revoked at a whim, often because they have gained citizenship of another country.I know one such woman this happpeneed to. She can visit her home on her Irish passsport, but can't ever live there. Of course, Israeli Jews throughout Israel and the Occupied Territories are allowed Dual Citizenship. If that's not another example of Apartheid, I don't know what is...Seriously, it's one law for one ethnic group and another more favourable set of conditions for another. That's what Apartheid was.Only Israeli is a schly fox when it comes to implementing such, unlike the Boerish(pardon the pun) South African wolves were... Hope that answered your question, Moshe. All the best. :)
111. Swastika has become Israels banner.
Zacharia ,   Charleston USA   (06.13.10)
Time will tell who's right and who is wrong so let the true G*d be the Judge and sort out the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
112. Truth hurt?
Mike ,   vancouver   (06.13.10)
What? Does the truth hurt too much for your eyes to read?
113. USA supported Hitler until he went "too far"
L. ,   Latin America   (06.14.10)
So that's how it goes for the biggest wacked job in the world supporting always mounstrously evil states as it does now with Israel.
114. Pot or Kettle are both swastika black
John Bryan ,   BC   (06.14.10)
You can't prevent free-will for long. It may seem forever to the victims, but eventually all gov't's that practice this will fail. Jews in free-world should be ashamed. I know I am.
115. wise and not intimidated by anyone
mystic ,   new york city   (06.14.10)
Just as Mandela was the only world leader untimidatedly denounced the US for invading Iraq, so Castro is unafraid of speaking his mind, wise and unintimidated. Just as the Nazis were driven into a corner like rats, so the Zionists will be cornered like rabid dogs together with the self-imploded US. Ahmadinejad is empowered both by the Iraq holocaust and the flotilla and Gaza massacres. He will have the last laugh.Turkey also emerges the victor. Because the American sheeple, murdered by Israel in the USS Liberty, still don't get it, they are the ultimate losers.
116. Truthful and courageous old leader
Steve ,   Australia   (06.14.10)
I respect this man more all the time. How simply said and true too.
117. Castro Tells the Truth
Oberon123 ,   USA   (06.15.10)
#29. Cuba was fulll of prostitutes when Castro took power, thanks to the economy that was put in place and guarded by Batista to make Cuba a playground for American mobsters. Honest people remember the history of Cuba just as we remember the history of Israel. Fidel Castro is absolutely correct. Israel has become a nation of Nazis.
118. Hammer & Sickle
Michael (UK) ,   Oxford UK   (06.16.10)
The Hammer & Sickle would be a closer analogy
119. Castro the Antisemite
henry lowi ,   Toronto, canada   (06.17.10)
This vile antisemitic dictator now reveals his raging Jew hatred harbored for decades. Israel should brand him a war criminal under the Nurenberg laws and seek his being tried before the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
120. He noted that his country helped persecuted Jews in WW2 ...
Tobias   (06.18.10)
... obviously that was BEFORE Castro and his friends started to rule the country ...
