Fidel Castro tells Ahmadinejad: Stop bashing the Jews
"The Jews have lived an existence that is much harder than ours. There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust," ageing revolutionary tell U.S. journal The Atlantic.
By Natasha Mozgovaya and Haaretz Service

Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro has urged Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to stop slandering the Jews, according to an article published on the U.S. website The Atlantic on Tuesday. The ageing revolutionary devoted much of a five-hour conversation to the issue of anti-Semitism, wrote Jeffrey Goldberg, who interviewed Castro in the Cuban capital Havana.

Castro told The Atlantic that the Iranian government should understand the consequences anti-Semitism. "This went on for maybe two thousand years," he said. "I don't think anyone has been slandered more than the Jews. I would say much more than the Muslims. They have been slandered much more than the Muslims because they are blamed and slandered for everything. No one blames the Muslims for anything."

Fidel Castro telling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to consequences of ignoring Genesis 12:3. Incredible. Perhaps Castro's near death experience this summer had a profound effect upon him. Perhaps that near death experience was far more spiritual than anyone has thus far been informed. Hey, if it happened to Nebuchaddnezzar it can happen to Castro.

And now Castro sees the coming catastrophic war in the Middle East as most of us do - that it is inevitable.

One thing is for sure... the Muslim's will now unequivocally hate Castro since he's fundamentally altered his view regarding Israel's right to exist in its own God-given land.

Can't wait for the next installment.

Interesting. (And that is my understatement of the year!)

Shocking! Maybe he is reading the scripture with good intent.

Sean, I think you have an excellent point. Sober consideration of actually meeting your Maker does have a powerful effect on some people.

I pray that God has opened his heart, and that he accepted the Lord. We don't know yet - time will tell. But, can you imagine the impact that would have other than his own personal salvation - how many of those who look up to him that he could influence and point to the Lord?

Let's continue to pray for him, and especially for Israel in these, the last days.

Good point, bro! Yes, let us indeed pray for him.
