“In both Cuba and Palestine, the United States is deploying its barbaric methods of producing mass suffering in order to bring about political and economic submission. The tactics being used in distributing aid in Cuba now are a softer model of the killing fields in Gaza that seek to force the entire population into submission and occupy the entirety of Palestine.“

Participants include:

Lavish Mack, activist and community organizer, speaking on conditions on the ground following a recent delegation to Cuba with Cuba

Libre X. Sankara, humanitarian worker currently operating in Gaza City, providing direct testimony on civilian conditions under the ongoing blockade.

Anthony Aguilar, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation whistleblower, speaking on the gap between institutional representation and on-the-ground reality.

Dr. AbdulQader — Palestinian-American physician; speaks about Gaza’s famine conditions, collapse of the health system, treating starvation injuries without supplies.

Dr. Fadlalla — MSF physician who coordinated medical activities in Omdurman, Sudan treating children with severe acute malnutrition and spent extended time in Gaza and West Bank.

Drawing on firsthand testimony from humanitarian workers, medical personnel, and policy experts with direct experience inside both sieges, this forum asks the questions that official narratives consistently avoid.
