HAVANA, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro railed against Israel's offensive in Gaza in an editorial published in a Havana newspaper.
In an opinion piece titled "Palestinian Holocaust in Gaza," Castro, 87, described Israel's Gaza involvement -- now in the midst of a sustained 72-hour cease-fire -- as "a new, repugnant form of fascism." The editorial was published in Granma, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper.
