Spain recognizes Israel as Jewish homeland, for first time
Haaretz ^ | 9/25/11 | Barak Ravid

Posted on 09/25/2011 1:08:30 PM PDT by Nachum

Spain’s Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez presented a new policy for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on Saturday, declaring Israel as the homeland of the Jews for the first time and saying that the issue of Palestinian refugees should be solved in such a way that it does not compromise Israel’s current demographic makeup of a Jewish majority. Jimenez’s speech before the United Nations General Assembly is particularly dramatic in light of the fact that Spain is considered the leading EU country to support Palestinian rights. Adopting such a pro-Israel stance may lead to other countries to follow suit.

Spain is probably looking for a hand-out.

An unexpected turn of events, I’d say. What took them so long?

Just read the story.

She is highly not-guilty.

That being said. Isn’t Spain still a leftist government.
If it is, I don’t trust it. Of course on the surface this good and I appreciate it. But I don’t trust the left. Maybe they are becoming aware that their ideology is on the line, and that they look really bad always supporting terrorists. I don’t know. Thanks Spain. But excuse me if I hold on to a little suspicion.

Not really. She's talking about going back to the 1967 lines, sharing Jerusalem, having the UN recognize Palestine... Basically, what she wants is for Israel to commit suicide, so as to spare the EU from getting involved in a new Middle East war. What can you expect from a country that has moved so far away from its Christian roots?

It is, with the socialist party ruling, single-payer health care, welfare to all "undocumented" immigrants from Africa...

Got to remember that Spain is set to have elections in the fall and the conservatives are going to be coming in.

We should go back to the 1947 agreement when Palestine was first split by a UN General Assembly vote. The part the Arabs were supposed to get is now called Jordan!

It is too late for Spain. With a 1.1 birth per female rate and a growing Muslim population, The country won’t exist for long and will be replaced buy an Islamic country in two generations.
