Whether or not a vote for someone who supports the Bantustan "solution" is a vote for that "solution" and therefore objectively a vote for Zionist racism, Yossi makes a serious point. He would probably sound less dogmatic if he were more fluent in English, but he certainly didn't say "Revolution Now. Down with capitalism...".

Maybe Louis should unsub himself for grossly misrepresenting what Yossi wrote.
