With the case of the Aquarius ship, Spain of the new socialist government of Pedro Sánchez showed its welcoming and open face. But quietly and far from the cameras, all concentrated in the port of Barcelona, Spain itself was becoming the most hostile European nation to Israel.
First there was the decision of the third largest city of the country, Valencia, to embrace the boycott of Israel by proclaiming itself a "zone free from Israeli apartheid". Then the leader of the third largest Spanish party, Pablo Iglesias Turrión, head of Podemos, defined the Jewish state as a "criminal and illegal country".
The city of Oviedo, capital of Asturias, then canceled the concert of the Israeli Symphonic Orchestra of Netanya, citing "political reasons". The local producer of the concert, which was to be held in Oviedo in the fall, received an official notice from the municipality stating that the cancellation of the event was the result of a political decision to "stop Israeli activities in the city".
Oviedo also canceled the performance of an Israeli ballet. The City Council of Cadiz had already canceled an Israeli film festival, claiming that it "contradicts the adherence to the campaign 'free from Israeli apartheid'".
And in Benicassim, near Barcelona, the Jewish musician and reggae star Matthew Paul Miller, aka "Matisyahu", had refused to comply with the request of the music festival director who ordered him to produce a video or written statement in which the singer was to support an Arab-Palestinian state. His performance was canceled.

They hate whatever few Jews or Israelis who might visit but they love being invaded by Islamists and put under the yoke of Sharia. They can’t make themselves slaves quick enough.
F them.
We need to be out of NATO.
Let them defend themselves.
Re: Spain’s Israel Boycott
That is so depressing, and so hypocritical.
The tyrannical leaders of most of the garbage dump countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have ancestors from Spain.
Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
The Spanish Inquisition persecuted both Jews and those Christians who would not follow Roman Catholicism.
I fully believe that Spain as a nation reaped what they sowed.
At the same time they are the most militant pro-homosexual lifestyle in Europe.
Islamist lifestyle != homosexual lifestyle
One of them is going to give.
Spain importing muzzies. Muzzies not compatible with Jews or civilization.
Back in the day, they decried the Jews for being different and not fully assimilating, so they kicked them out. Now the Jews have their own country, so they condemn them for that!
I’m sure the accusation was made, but really Jews were courtiers, generals and advisors in both Christian and Moorish Spain. They were expelled because Ferdinand and Isabella wanted a unified Spain under one faith, and because this made them popular with Spanish commoners who resented Jewish wealth and prestige, and jumped at the chance to loot the former and persecute them on their way out, once they were shorn of the latter. Idi Amin made himself popular the same way when he expelled all the Asians. And for the same reason, both Spain and Uganda suffered as a result.
What about the western hemisphere and Spanish influence.... didn’t that happen after they booted the Jews out? What about Europe to the 1800’s?
Without contesting the other reasons for Spanish anti-Semitism, it is significant that from the time of their expulsion till today Jewish written records extoll the civilization and glorious achievements of “Al-Andalus”/Islamic-Spain - while Christain records (till only recently) only lament their persecutions & celebrate their resistance.
Did you ever ask how was it that Spanish Christians in Islamic occupied “Al-Andalus” did so much worse than those wealthy Jews they resented.
Ivy League Universities, 2018: “ASIANS GET OUT”
A miniscule number of non-Catholic Christians were persecuted in Spain for the simple reason that there were essentially no Protestants to be found in Spain to begin with.
Jews are being harried in most of Europe, with sharp population declines in England, France, Spain, Italy and other countries as a result of anti-Semitism, harassment and outright violence. Anti-Jewish sentiment is also rising in American cities, with pro-Palestinian/muslim leftists claiming it’s merely opposition to the State of Israel (or falsely accusing conservatives). At some point Jews will either all have to flee to Israel or renounce their faith.
America will be the last bastion in the western world, but if the Dems ever regain control and open the borders to muslims, the political winds will shift in favour of the more populous group. We’ve already seen that in Canada, with the Jewish community increasingly abandoning their traditional home in the Liberal Party for the Conservatives, as a result of the Liberal’s pro-muslim shift.
Tell me about it in Canada, it seems like half of their immigrants now are from Muslim countries. Why? They were doing great with Asians coming over.
