The threat of a wider war sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Israel/Hamas war has never been as great as it is now. The world is in need of actions that will change the thirst for war to an atmosphere of peace. Normalizing relations with Cuba will create an opportunity for such change. 
The rage and protest against Israel's campaign in Gaza, ongoing since the October 7 attacks by Hamas, has stirred student activity across a number of US university campuses and beyond.

Nearly seven months of constant bombardment, siege and obstruction of aid deliveries have annihilated the healthcare system in Gaza. Last week, the Palestinian Health Ministry said that around 600,000 Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip no longer have access to any kind of healthcare.

As America's liberal elites declare open warfare on their own kids, it's easy to see why they've shown no empathy at all for the murdered, maimed and orphaned children of Gaza.
