Time for payback for the Spanish Inquisition. Methinks Spain should shut the hell up.
I wasn’t expecting that.
the current Spanish neo-Nazi regime isn’t worth discussing anything with
but perhaps just call in the Spanish ambassador and tell him that Israel will defend itself no matter what so that he can go home and tell his government to STFU
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Spain has gone hard Left. Kick them out of NATO.
“Saif Abu Keshek” Definitely sounds like a Spanish name.

Israel said that Keshek and Avila are affiliated with the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA), which has been accused by the US Treasury of “clandestinely acting on behalf of” Hamas.
FU Spain. You done stepped in the sh*t and now you have to pay.
