They did get a different reception in Basque Country.

Spain is very decentralized, each region is different. Catalonia is practically Communist, for all intents and purposes.

Spain would actually be better off if Catalonia was independent.

Yes going back to the Civil War. But even in Barcelona they are fed upon with the current PM.

I think the Israelis should have dumped them all in Gaza and let them find their own way home. Or not.

Notice they didn’t try to enter via Egypt.

The Egyptians would just put them in prison and let them rot.
