In this Reutors headline, cynicly the word "genocide" is is quotations marks in an atempt to lessen the impact of the Cuban statement and have readers beleive that the use of the word is only an opinion. The Cubans did not qualify their use of the word genocide with quotation marks. They called a spade a spade and called it like it is....GENOCIDE!!!

Cuba demands U.N. halt Israeli 'genocide'
HAVANA, March 31 (Reuters) - Cuba demanded the United Nations stop Israel's "bloody offensive" against Palestinians on Sunday, backing their "resistance and rebellion against occupation" and charging Israel with genocide.
A Foreign Ministry statement, carried by the state-run media, said: "Cuba demands a more energetic action by the international community, and in particular the U.N. Security Council, to stop the massacre and genocide being carried out by the Israeli army."
The Cuban government said Israel's move into Palestinian territory, and siege of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, was a response to the Arab League's peace initiative at last week's Beirut Summit.
"The response of the Ariel Sharon government, supported and financed by the United States, has been death and destruction, making clearer than ever before its opposition to a Palestinian state," Cuba said, in its first official reaction to spiraling violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
The statement made no mention of the recent wave of suicide bombings carried out by Palestinians against Israeli civilians, instead reiterating Cuba's "complete support of the heroic Arab people's struggle, and specially of Palestine."
