December 11, 1964 - “Homeland or Death!” are the famous words communist revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara said at the UN General Assembly on this day in 1964. In his speech, Che denounced US interventions worldwide and called for resistance against imperialism.
Six decades later, Che’s words remain as relevant as ever, as the Palestinian people continue their unwavering resistance against the Israeli occupation, acting on behalf of US imperialism in the Middle East.
During his first visit to Gaza in 1959, Che told Palestinian refugees that they must continue their struggle to liberate their homeland. Resisting the occupation is the only way, he said. [video]
