Sounds like Spaniards should again learn the names of their cities when the Moors occupied the country.
Screw Spain. Used to be one of my favorite countries in Europe, now they are just Europussies.
Nice!
If the guy had stayed home, there wouldn’t be an issue.
Mess with Israeli affairs, and take what you get.
