President Obama’s historic opening to Cuba yesterday made many of us think about the long cold war against the Palestinian people. In both cases, a policy of isolating a people because they have political views our government disagrees with has gone on for decades without changing that society, writes Philip Weiss, adding, So Obama’s eloquent announcement gives everyone who toils in Palestinian solidarity hope. Well, but not much hope, I would say, because as powerful as the right-wing Florida Cuban lobby is, theyre Lilliputian compared to the Israel lobby. But as Weiss says, If Cuba deserves freedom, so does Palestine. Indeed. #boycottapartheidIsrael mondoweiss.net/2014/12/obama-lobby-israel#sthash.y5Y3KCJx.dpuf
