Well, robomatic, I haven't heard anything about Cuba invading surrounding states and killing innocent civilians there, bulldozing homes, blockading one and a half million people In a massive open prison, leaving hundreds of thousands of cluster bomblets to blow children's legs off in Southern Lebanon, dividing families and farms with an apartheid wall, illegally possessing nuclear weapons, stealing the best land for its settlements, discriminating against a quarter of its population, massacring refugees... BDS is the upshot of justified international outrage. The Cuban embargo is just another sorry Cold War relic of the US using its enemies as pawns in its standoff with the Soviet Union. Apples and pears. Ask bobad.
