I've never understood why Israel gives a shit about Cuba.

They dont, but considering how much aid we give them, sure, we can vote with th U.S. on anything we DGF about.

It’s because their weapons daddy (USA) influences how they vote. Not so much they care about Cuba, they just care about bombs to keep dropping on Gaza as part of their genocide.
