C'mon moulds your a big boy, I can't do everything for ya.

I'm just trying to answer your question, even if you don't like the answer though here's another article for ya big guy.

"More importantly, the Palestinian plight has long stirred leftists in the region, dating to a time when the main faction fighting Israeli occupation was the secular, leftist Palestinian Liberation Organization, led by the late Yasser Arafat. Many saw the PLO in the same continuum as other revolutionary, guerrilla groups in the 1970s and '80s that were battling the last vestiges of colonialism or repressive governments backed by the West.

Cuba's Fidel Castro frequently points to the suffering of Palestinians under Israeli occupation as a sign of American imperial perfidy. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, heir to the demagogic Hugo Chavez, inked
a deal earlier this year to send oil to the Palestinian Authority in a bid to boost its international recognition.

Most famously, South Africa's late President Nelson Mandela was long a supporter of the PLO, which he considered a kindred movement to his African National Congress, the political organization that eventually took down apartheid. In 1990, Mandela met with Arafat after being released from prison just two weeks prior. "There are many similarities between our struggle and that of the PLO. We live under a unique form of colonialism in South Africa, as well as in Israel," Mandela said then."

Yes, but it's just retorics. Israel is very present in Cuba and Venezuela.

A very large factory of orange and tropical fruit juices, they have many more interests. Israel is a heavy investor in Cuba, synagoges are open and there's a brand new Israeli restaurant (not American Delis or American Jewish food, entirely different).

I forgot, Maduro is Jewish (a Sephardic family from Aruba). Maduro is typically Sefaradim. The chief of the opposition is also Jewish, Capriles Radonsky, his grandparents on his mother side died in the Shoa.

Anti-Israel dialectics are phony, just as phony as Anti-American dialectics. The US buys most of the Venezuelan oil and pays cash, not like the Chinese.
