Fidel Castro accused Ukraine on Friday of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines plane that crashed in rebel-held territory, blaming its "pro-imperialist" government for the disaster that killed 298 people.
"Cuba... must express its repudiation of this action by such an anti-Russian, anti-Ukrainian and pro-imperialist government," the 87-year-old father of the Cuban Revolution wrote in the official newspaper Granma. ....
Castro said the plane had been hit while flying "on a route under the control of the bellicose government of Chocolate King Petro Poroshenko," a reference to the confectionery magnate turned Ukrainian president.
In a wide-ranging article headlined "Abnormal Provocation," Castro also accused US President Barack Obama of supporting the Israeli ground assault on the Gaza Strip.
"Coinciding with the crime of the Malaysian plane... the president of the United States supported the (Gaza) action, calling this repugnant crime an act of legitimate defense," Castro wrote.
"Obama does not support David against Goliath, he supports Goliath against David."
"I wish to put on record my solidarity with the heroic people defending the last shred of what was their homeland for thousands of years," he said of the Palestinians.

Wow 18 posts and I’m still in before the Putin Fan Club.
The original Fidel should wreak purty good about now.
They’re feeling a little knocked-back on their heels at the moment. They’ll be back when this “blows over.” Besides, it’s Friday night and vodka-time in Moscow.
Had the same question. I thought Fidel was already a mummy.
Happy Hour in Moscow. I’ve seen the videos of these people driving home afterwards. Just look up Vodka Videos on You Tube.
That was my thought...I was certain he had attained room temperature some time ago.
Makes about as much sense as anything spewing out of Harry Reid’s pie hole
This guy is still alive?
The thing that weirds me out about those Russian dashcam videos (and I’ve seen my share), is the utter disregard they have for road conditions, traffic conditions, rearview mirrors, and situational awareness. And they do it all, it seems, at very high speed.
They clearly need more traffic cops and laws in Russia...Good thinking.
Only the good die young.
Ever driven in Russia before?
Is this a post from DU? Brain-dead communists are so reliable for studied and accurate analysis!
Yawn .
Sounds like Elizabeth Warren talking.
Take your Metameusil and STFU
What name does he use when he posts pro-Putin rants on FReeRepublic? I know he and other anti-Americans are here.
***Fidel Castro says ‘pro-imperialist’ Ukraine downed jet***
I didn’t know Imperialist Ukraine was trying to make an province out of Russia! If it does, Will Sakhalin Island be Eastern Ukraine or Western Russia?
Won’t some demon please drag Fidel to Hell?
