🇨🇺| More than 100 young Palestinians studying medicine in Cuba were at the Palace of the Revolution this afternoon, where they were received by President DiazCanelB , in a day filled with emotion and solidarity with Palestine . 🧵
Some are undergraduate students, others are doing their residencies, and some are completing their undergraduate studies, but all are marked by the pain of their homeland and the solidarity they received in Cuba . They spoke about all of this to the Head of State in a moving conversation.
Personal stories were heard, of suffering and also of resistance; of their families under Israeli bombs and the complicity of the United States; of their lives in Cuba , of the challenge of the language, and of the love they receive everywhere. They spoke of the island as their home.
The President told them that we are holding these meetings, at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune and here, out of our commitment to the #Palestinian cause , so that they feel supported; they are not alone. They have fathers, mothers, and brothers here, he assured them.
Being with you strengthens our convictions. Listening to you speak, learning your life stories, hurts a lot, and that pain strengthens our commitment, he asserted.
The Head of State remembered #Fidel and his tireless struggle for Palestine . We grew up hearing him speak about Palestine, denouncing the crime, we grew up supporting this cause. You are not in Cuba by chance , he told them, we are two peoples in resistance, under attack.
We consider you our children. No matter how hard times are, there will always be a place to support you. You are the future of #Palestine . You are being trained not only as doctors, but as revolutionaries, as good men and women, he said.
