Sadly, there are not too many world leaders in the running for the title of most stalwart friend of Israel.
U.S. President Donald Trump has to be near the top of that short list for the many pro-Israel actions he's taken while in the Oval Office. He recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017 and moved the U.S. Embassy there after failed promises from previous presidents to do so. In 2020, he brokered the Abraham Accords, which accomplished what so much of the world thought was impossible: the normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab states. And, of course, he's demonstrated moral clarity in the wake of the October 7 attack on Israel, calling it "one of the darkest days in all history" and just this week warning Hamas that it will "have hell to pay" if it uses hostages as human shields.
Another candidate is Argentinian President Javier Milei, who has called himself "the most pro-Israel person in the world." At the Western Wall, where he was filmed praying and crying, Milei backed that claim up, stating in June: “My support for Israel comes from the heart, because I believe this is a just cause—the cause of the West. I will always stand by your side.”

... But there is a Western leader who not only accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and recognizes Palestine as a state, but actually made what many took to be a genocidal threat against the Jewish state — even if less explicit than Khamenei's threats. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, nicknamed "El Guapo" ("The Handsome One"), has made comments and taken actions against Israel that can only be described as "muy feo" (very ugly).

Apparently, the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews of Spain and the systematic mass murder of Jews in the Holocaust, is not enough for Sanchez. Incredible.— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) September 11, 2025
Instead of clarifying or apologizing for his words, Sánchez summoned Israel's ambassador in Madrid to reject what he called the "false and slanderous statements from the Israeli Prime Minister’s office." And what has Spain's prime minister done since this dust-up to convince supporters of Israel that he'd never want the Jewish state to disappear? He said he wants Israel barred from international sports competitions until its "barbarism" in Gaza ends, and he's held firm in his support of dangerous pro-Palestine protests in Spain.
I am sure his family relished the role of the “Inquisition”. That attitude has persisted throughout the world.
So,,,control of Spain is back to the Moors.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin has said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and his government recognized Palestine as an independent state in 2024. Chilean President Gabriel Boric has called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and he didn't even call the families of the five Chileans slaughtered by Hamas on October 7.
And then there's the man who became prime minister in Canada instead of Pierre Poilevre, Mark Carney, who is turning a historic ally of the Jewish state into one of the most anti-Israel countries in the world.
These are all good candidates.

BREAKING:
For the first time, the UN is accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza.”
The world now has no excuse.
States are legally obliged to act, stop genocide, and prosecute Israeli war criminals.

UN says it’s genocide.
HRC says it’s genocide.
PVA says it’s genocide.
ICJ says it’s genocide.
ICC says it’s genocide.
Now every international body out there has ruled it a genocide. So the fact that Spain has just instituted an arms embargo is hardly surprising. What is surprising though is the large numbers of Christians who seem ok with this.

Spain Grants Citizenship to 72,000 Sephardic Jews
Ten years ago, the Spanish government introduced citizenship options for individuals with Sephardic Jewish ancestry, and tens of thousands, particularly from Latin America, have taken advantage of the opportunity, each paying the filing fee of $5,700.
According to figures from Spain’s Justice Ministry, over 72,000 individuals of Sephardic Jewish descent have obtained Spanish citizenship over the past decade. That’s $410,400,000 going into Spain’s coffers.
Under Spanish law, Sephardic ancestry includes not only biological or adoptive parents but also extends to grandparents, great-grandparents, and even great-great-grandparents.
In 2015, Spain passed a law granting descendants of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from the country in 1492 the right to claim Spanish nationality. Historians estimate that at least 200,000 Jews lived in Spain before the Catholic Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand forced them to either convert to Christianity or leave the country under threat of death.
The new law permitted dual citizenship, offering an opportunity to anyone who could prove they had a Jewish ancestor expelled from Spain. Applicants were not required to be practicing Jews or even Jewish themselves, nor did they need to reside in Spain. However, they were required to pass a basic Spanish language and citizenship exam.
As of December 31, 2024, nearly a decade after the law had been passed, a total of 72,199 applicants were granted Spanish citizenship through their Sephardic ancestry.
However, 7,189 applications were rejected, and an additional 9,361 remain pending. These rejections and the backlog have caused frustration among many applicants, especially Americans.
The data from the Ministry of Justice also reveals interesting trends about the origins of Sephardic Jewish applicants. The highest number of approved citizenships came from Mexico, with 23,634. Colombia followed with 18,436 successful applications, then Venezuela (9,168) and Argentina (5,142).
3,938 Israeli applicants secured Spanish citizenship through the law, along with 2,344 Americans, 2,055 Panamanians, and 1,099 Brazilians.
Any group that states that Israel is conducting a “genocide” in Gaza is either lying or doesn’t comprehend what the word actually means. Do some research. It’s not that difficult.
The Apple of Gods’ Eye.
I’ll pass on Spain’s offer.
(1/2 Ashkenazi 1/2 Sephardic)
What is with this guy? Is it true hatred or simply political?
The Moops (George Costanza)
Spain, since its invasion by Muslims in 711-720, ended Christian rule in most of Iberia and the establishment of Muslim Arab-Moorish rule in that territory. Maybe that antisemitic Muslim sentiment lingers on in Spain. Idiots.
Besides terror and rapine, what has Spain contributed to the world since 1492? Why are they included in any list of civilized nations? Maybe I should ask, ARE they included on the short list of civilized nations?
Whether you call it a genocide or not at the very least it’s an obvious attempt at ethnic cleansing. And the fact that all the Evangelicals are ok with this is wild. From what I hear even Charlie Kirk wasn’t comfortable with what Netanyahu was doing and was softening his support for Israel the last couple of months.
Wow, every globalist org says it’s genocide. Strange company that you keep.
I keep company with reality unlike you.
Ireland was “neutral” in WWII. Which means they were pro-Hitler.
Because the only country in the history of countries that genuinely has been “neutral” when war was waging around it without taking sides was Switzerland.
Ireland’s president even sent Hitler Happy Birthday wishes.
The reality is that Isrzel has bent over backwards and fought a ridiculous half war. Been way too nice.
“What is surprising though is the large numbers of Christians who seem ok with this.”
Count me among them.
Proudly.
