This should be amusing to Cuba enthusiasts. Not only does Fidel endorse Israel's right to exist, he sympathizes with the political position of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Not only that, but he wants to meet Bibi's ultra-right dad, the centenarian Ben-Zion Netanyahu.
^^^^^ CB: Actually, Communist Parties have always supported Israel's right to exist. The Soviet Union supported Israel establishment before the US did. So, that's not new.

In all seriousness though, as Cuba moves along the Vietnam or China-path of rediscovering capitalism, we should expect more foreign policy surprises like this. Vietnam made it's rapprochement with the U.S. and now uses Uncle Sam to counter-balance China. China made friends with the U.S. several years before it's economic turn, and followed it up with supporting right-wing extremists and fascists like Savimbi and Pinochet.
