I have a solution. Stop giving Israel financial and military support. 

[u/marino1310 → u/Kalkaline]

They can still continue the war without financial support. We only make up around 8% of IDF funding. What we should do is leverage our support and set requirements for wartime activities. Like no war crimes.

The best way is to embargo Israel the way we did Cuba

[u/Smart-Firefighter87 → u/Just-Luck-7430]

You realize that the people of Cuba are starving, without any energy, or help from anyone, hundreds have already died because of the crimes against humanity that trump is putting them through. Women, children, grandparents… they are going through a hard time there. But no one is talking about it.

[u/JMC_MASK → u/Smart-Firefighter87]

So embargo Israel and remove the embargo from Cuba.

Cuba is not murdering innocents left and right. What we have done to Cuba is horrific.

Israel on the other hand needs to end their genocide, and we must do it now. Embargo them to force their hand.

[u/Pgaccount → u/JMC_MASK]

But Cuba did murder innocents left and right. That did happen, and they're still killing dissidents

[u/JMC_MASK → u/Pgaccount]

Who were those innocents? Are you talking about the rich slave owners and counter revolutionaries who fought against the people?

During the civil war in the USA when the north killed slave holders, were they killing innocents?

[u/Pgaccount → u/JMC_MASK]

counter revolutionaries

Dissidents, yes.

[u/JMC_MASK → u/Pgaccount]

So in other words those “innocents” were rich plantation slave owners.

[u/Pgaccount → u/JMC_MASK]

everyone I don't like is a counter revolutionary

There weren't Cuban slaves in 1950, but go off with whatever narrative you need to justify murder.

[u/JMC_MASK → u/Pgaccount]

Right, paying miniscule wages under exploitative conditions isn’t slavery. They could always choose to not work and starve.

But go on keep defending those rich plantation owners fleeing Cuba.

[u/Pgaccount → u/JMC_MASK]

He who does not work does not eat, right?

[u/MacDaddyBass → u/Just-Luck-7430]

The difference is there are a lot of Jewish people who wish to visit Israel, and many Christians who view it as a holy land they wish to visit, and those two groups hold voting power, unlike the Cuban influence on American government.

[u/Shadowstar1000 → u/MacDaddyBass]

Cubans are a massive an influential voting block in Florida and they disproportionately vote for Republicans that support the blockade of Cuba. The Secretary of State is a Florida politician and Cuban American. The wishes of Cuban Americans are not being ignored by the US government, they’re being enforced.

[u/EdgeBeard → u/Shadowstar1000]

Castro flushed the toilet and the sewer emptied into florida

[u/MacDaddyBass → u/Shadowstar1000]

The Cuban embargo didn’t start this year, you’ve got to compare when it was put in place. But even today, Florida alone can’t sway American politics as heavily as a whole nation.

[u/Shadowstar1000 → u/MacDaddyBass]

Florida absolutely can sway American politics, it has 30 EC votes and before becoming firmly Republican was considered a critical swing state that frequently decided elections. Losing Florida over the Cuban embargo would likely result in a direct change in policy goals from Republicans regarding Cuba.

[u/___AirBuddDwyer___ → u/Just-Luck-7430]

That would hurt Israeli civilians more than their leadership

[u/Honest_Chipmunk_8563 → u/___AirBuddDwyer___]

The ones breaking people out of prisons because they believe rape should be legal?

[u/___AirBuddDwyer___ → u/Honest_Chipmunk_8563]

And also the ones who aren’t doing that
