  • He's got his position and he's buying Israeli stuff. You bet he needs to lose to the right winger. Sanchez is just a plant.

  • Sure but the shady political duality of the Israel is know. I don't care what makes it happen. My question is wheter it did happen.

    If the political wing stopped it then good. If they didn't then not good.

    When it comes to Israel I have no interest in lip service. Only in results.

  • Buying beepers from Israel has to be the dumbest move possible in 2025

  • So does this mean that Spain is not doing this purchase?

  • The NATO deal did get adjusted however, and the wording was changed.

    I have no doubt that Pedro Sanchez ,whose face is almost as slimy as Mark Rutte, is a chronic liar. However factually some stuff did get cancelled by Spain because their leftists threatened to collapse the government.

    There's of course also the recent Israeli arms deal which they did purchase. So Spain doesn't get off scott free. Which is why I said "they are the best of Europe". It is a really low bar.

  • Saboteurs of the Holocaust were criminals. Nazis were following the law.

  • No this is false. They changed the NATO agreement for Spain. It contained some absolute term like "everyone who signs this should spend 5%" now it contains some vague term like "allies will spend 5%" which Spain can easily say doesn't include them. Not sure about its details or exact terms anymore but here's an article

    Spain reaches deal with NATO ahead of summit to be excluded from 5% defense spending goal

    Spain also cancelled Israeli rubber bullet purchase and has closed their ports to ships transporting (weapons?) to Israel. Leaked documents also show Spain and Ireland being the primary drivers in the EU for sanctions against Israel.

    This is not to say that Spain is doing full BDS, they still have a massive Israeli lobby group there, but they are probably the best of Europe.

    Ireland on the other hand has people hating Israel but its government is much more subservient to Israel allowing weapons transports etc.

  • We're already seeing a massive surge of the far right in Europe. Giant media blitzes on social media such as Twitter shoving far right content in their faces.

  • Ships related to Israel. The parent company very directly violated the blockade so they have become a target.

  • Parent company of the ship had other ships which delivered to Israeli ports. Sad that they used human shields for their complicity in genocide.

  • I'd take out Ireland faster than Spain. Spain is not scott free but they put in quite some work.

    Spain changed the NATO agreement before signing it to make it a useless promise instead of a hard goal.

  • Threatens is when big bad Iran says something mean :(
