      There is a vote in the UN general assembly every year in which all UN members besides the US and Israel condemn the US blockade against Cuba. Kind of shows how horrible of a comparison it is.

        Cuba is not doing a genocide so their sanctions are so ridiculous and should be removed . Israel is doing a war of extermination so it deserve to have Cuba style sanctions

          Israel should be sanctioned like Cuba and Cubas sanctions should be lifted, because they are ridiculous. You probably can see the problem in making that comparison.

            The sanctions on Cuba are ridiculous because Cuba didn’t do anything to deserve such a severe sanctions unlike Israel who is committing a war of extermination so they deserve it. How hard is it for you to understand simple logic?

              That is why I call for Israel to be sanctioned like Russia or North Korea. So heavy sanctions for commiting large scale crimes against humanity. Cuba does not commit those on a large scale, so I do not support Cuba style sanctions against any country including Cuba, because the key feature of them is that they are injust.

                I don’t care which example you use as long as you agree with the heaviest sanctions on israel , I am totally fine with it

          Point being, if the Cuba sanctions can’t get lifted, we’re certainly not going to sanction Israel in a like manner.

      Sure there was. Voters would have seen the move as an attack on an ally. The genocide has only now got the Western world woke to the plight of the Palestinians. I’m one of those who got educated and flipped his views 180.

        Reminder that selling weapons to the genocidal state mean no palestinian state will ever happen because at some point there will no longer be any palestinian left
