Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests that have rocked the Vuelta a España filled him with “pride” as large demonstrations await the race’s final stage in Madrid.

The protests, which have targeted the Israel-Premier Tech team, have disrupted several stages of one of cycling’s three grand tours and cast doubt on whether the 21-day race could be completed.

The activism has forced some stages to be shortened and occasionally caused crashes as demonstrators burst onto the course, prompting criticism for threatening rider safety and harming Spain’s image.

In his first public comments on the debate, Sanchez expresses his “recognition and full respect for the athletes, but also our admiration for a people like Spain’s which mobilizes for just causes, like Palestine.”

“Spain today shines as an example and as a source of pride, an example to an international community where it sees Spain taking a step forward in the defense of human rights,” he tells a Socialist party gathering in Malaga.

The authorities have ramped up security for Sunday’s final stage in Madrid, which was slightly shortened and will see 1,100 police officers deploy in the Spanish capital.

Spain has historically been a country full of Jew hatred. They practically invented it.

“Spain’s which mobilizes for just causes, like Palestine.”

What do they find most just? Is it the murder? The raping? The inbreeding? Spain should itemize all that Palestinian people have done for the world.

[MarlonRando]

Spain has no love for the Jew

[TXBlair]

Another dunce outs himself. 🙄

Didn’t Spain kick the Islamists out once?

HEY, Pedro Sanchez, READ THIS:

Jeremiah 31:35-37
21st Century King James Version

35 Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the Sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the Moon and of the stars for a light by night, Who divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of hosts is His Name:

36 “If those ordinances depart from before Me,” saith the Lord, “then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me for ever.”

37 Thus saith the Lord: “If Heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the Earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,” saith the Lord.

Spain has historically been a country full of Jew hatred. They practically invented it.

The resentment goes way back. When the Roman emperor Hadrian ethnically cleansed Judea in 132-136 AD, many Jews settled in Spain (or Hispania).

Ha! It ACTUALLY says that at the link

I’ve corrected for future posts though

[Clutch Martin]

Well... the inquisition and all that. Not surprised.

[rktman]

Don’t forget the u.k. as well.

[Leaning Right]

1492: Spain expels Jews
1609: Spain expels Muslims

So I guess it’s the Jews’ turn again.
☹️

All the old spaniards that fought for La Reconquista must be rolling in their graves.

[MinorityRepublican]

To be fair, the Spaniards were antisemitic during the Reconquista.

[Flaming Conservative]

Defense of human rights. What a bastardization of a term. Was what Hamas did and is doing a defense of human rights? God have mercy on their souls; they need it.

[Angelino97]

To be fair, the Jews opened the gares of Toledo to Muslim invaders in the 8th century.

Jews and Muslims remained close allies in Spain until their mutual expulsion over 700 years later.

[Bigg Red]

Sounds like a real jerk.
