Based Spain tbh

Well at least Spain has the balls to stand for humanity. My country is being a 'lil bitch about it again. Bloody politicians that are spineless.

I’m from Germany, not much better here 😕

All of Europe is pretty bad on the global stage right now, but Germany is the worst.

Love to Germany from Sweden

Ah. The anti-Semitic card.

Look here. Being of an opposing opinion with the government of Israel, has nothing to do with opposing Jewism.

It is the same with disliking the CCP and liking the Chinese. I care for the people but not for their arsehole countries / governments.

Exactly

Which other countries has Spain recently withdrawn their ambassadors from?

If it’s only Israel, then an accusation of antisemitism has a reason.

After looking a bit, Spain withdrew their ambassador from Argentina for something petty. Also from Nicaragua after they had complained about Spanish colonial attitudes.

Of course Spain also did shit like revoke diplomatic status of the Flemish ambassador over supporting independence for Catalonia.

So yeah, it looks like Spain is still all into their imperialism regarding Latin America, and of course keep the Basques and Catalans under their thumb.

Only one of those countries is guilty of genocide. Strange that you didn’t mention that.

rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social on 11 Mar 19:04 collapse

If they did this to a Christian nation, would it be anti Christian? Or anti Muslim for a Muslim country?

Israel’s actions aren’t derived from being Jewish.

IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf on 11 Mar 16:13 collapse

Ah. The anti-Semitic card.

They could use some new cards, they’ve worn that one out.

SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 16:59 next collapse

They might as well get that card glued to the table with how often they try to play it

WanderingThoughts@europe.pub on 11 Mar 18:47 collapse

They’ve playing the “few weeks before Iran has nukes” card for 30 years and in the end someone took the bait. You just need the right kind of player at the table and that worn out card still can win the game.

Once enough countries stop cooperating with these animals, the “antisemitic” (these people are just European settlers, lol) narratives will finally die.

Samskara@sh.itjust.works on 11 Mar 15:40 collapse

Calling Israelis animals and European settlers is repeating antisemitic tropes.

ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 15:52 next collapse

Whoever subscribes to “might makes right” ideology is a beast, and that’s what’s behind both Zionism and Western supremacy (which are basically the same thing). Also, they literally aren’t Semitic, they’re just Polish, Ukrainian, German, and other kinds of European who invaded the land and settled there. Semitic people exist, of course, they’re the locals who have been targeted by Europeans for millennia.

porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml on 11 Mar 16:28 collapse

Animals sure, European settlers? No, that’s historical fact.

IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf on 11 Mar 16:37 collapse

Eh, it’s dehumanizing but I wouldn’t call it antisemitic.

PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world on 11 Mar 18:49 collapse

That’s literally what a good majority of them are. European Jews…

IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf on 11 Mar 19:07 collapse

I was referring to the animals bit.

clot27@lemmy.zip on 11 Mar 19:12 collapse

you should definitely dehumanize settlers tho

Good. Now expel the US ambassador and Iran will allow Spanish oil through the Straits of Hormuz

moody@lemmings.world on 11 Mar 18:35 collapse

All that olive oil has to go somewhere.
