Spain has a history with Islamic aggression. If it happens again, they are on the front lines.

“For far too long now it has been unfashionable in Europe to speak up for Israel”

When was it fashionable?

Prime Minister Aznar was a great friend to the USA; too bad his successor has been such an apologist for Islam.

Where is the voiced outrage against the Obama Administration by the American Jews? I don't mean just the lobbyists, but the New York city and Hollywood types, e.g., Congressman Jerry Ackerman, etc, etc; Steven Spielberg etc, etc.

Israel is a fundamental part of the West. The West is what it is thanks to its Judeo-Christian roots. If the Jewish element of those roots is upturned and Israel is lost, then we are lost too. Whether we like it or not, our fate is inextricably intertwined.

José María Aznar was Prime Minister of Spain, 1996-2004

I love this guy.

Spain made a fool's bargain trading him for Zapatero. And we have made the same fool's bargain.

Good post! It is always great to have friends speak out in support of Israel.

“When was it fashionable?”

Couple months after WWII, as realization dawned as to what happened to all those Jewish refugees they turned away.

They promptly got over it.

Pardon me Mr. Prime Minister, I need to make one small change (bolded) in this sentence:

To defend Israel’s right to exist in peace, within secure borders, requires a degree of moral and strategic clarity that too often seems to have disappeared in Europe. The United States, under their child president nobama, shows worrying signs of heading in the same direction.

It's really simple: The Israelis are the Children of God and are not to be trifled with. You will only hurt yourself by messing with them.

ACtually, Franco allowed many French Jews transit. Some people think it is because he followed the Pope’s warning to Catholics on the Holocaust. Others note that his name suggests that he descended from Marranos.

If only Aznar had reduced Muslim immigration to Spain, when he had the chance.

I wasn’t talking Spain, in particular, but Europe, overall.

England, in particular, with its shameful barring of Jewish immigration to then-Palestine.

This from a Spanish Catholic:

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth:

Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.

In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
