The uphill battle Israel faces isn’t only against the threat of its immediate enemies — Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hizballah and the leader of them all, Iran. Far leftists are also fanning the jihad flames and working to undermine Israel at every turn.
It is a tragedy that innocent people died in past wars, including World War I and World War II. In Israel’s war with Hamas, it’s no different. Israel is at war with a ruthless and savage enemy, one which has been described as worse than the Islamic State. Hamas’ crimes against innocent Israelis couldn’t be any worse. Brutalizing and murdering infants is as bad as it gets. To turn a blind eye to this is incomprehensible, and nothing short of antisemitic hatred.
Also to be kept in mind is that jihadis are supremacists. In their view, infidels are to be conquered by whatever means, stealth or violent. The latest infidel useful idiot to support the Palestinian “resistance” is Ione Belarra, Spain’s social rights minister and leader of Podemos, “the junior partners in the socialist-led coalition.” She attended a pro-Palestinian demonstration and not only failed to call out the atrocities of Hamas against Israelis, but accuses Israel of a planned genocide against Palestinians. Although Belarra rejects the contention that she’s aligning with Hamas, she’s doing just that.
According to Newsweek:
Belarra called on the Spanish government to launch a petition for the ICC to investigate Netanyahu over allegedly “carrying out a planned genocide in the Gaza Strip” in retaliation for the October 7 surprise attack by Islamist militant group Hamas.
Belarra and her ilk, however, have nothing to say about how else Israel might exist in peace.
Spain now holds the presidency of the EU council; this comes to an end on December 31. The propaganda war is an inevitable front that will continue to exact its toll on Israel as its enemies crow, despite the manifest injustice of that fact that Israel is forced constantly to fight for its own existence.
The massive surrounding Islamic states that occupied their own territory via brutal conquest refuse to help their Palestinian brothers as they criticize Israel. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has accused Israel of “crimes against humanity,” but said nothing about Hamas’ brutality. Egypt, Turkey and Jordan have shut out Palestinian refugees without receiving any significant blowback from the likes of Belarra.
“Spain rejects Israeli claims of its officials aligning with Hamas,” by Sam Jones, Guardian, October 17, 2023:
Madrid has dismissed Israel’s claims that some members of Spain’s acting coalition government have aligned themselves “with Isis-style terrorism” by criticising Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to Hamas’s atrocities and suggesting Israeli forces are committing genocide and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
On Saturday, Ione Belarra, who serves as Spain’s social rights minister and is the leader of Podemos, the junior partners in the socialist-led coalition, suggested the Spanish government should bring Netanyahu before the international criminal court to face war crimes charges.
After attending a demonstration in Madrid in support of the Palestinian people the following day, she tweeted: “Dignity has filled the streets of Madrid today to urge the end of the genocide that Israel is planning against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Freedom for Palestine.”
Belarra’s views were echoed by her Podemos colleague Irene Montero, who is acting equality minister, and by Alberto Garzón, Spain’s acting consumer affairs minister…..

For as long as i can remember, Spain has been a marxist hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

I never met a starving socialist..and as for the communist elite:Well, it is how the other half live.Like comfy Trade Union bosses..
All workers are equal but.. socialists are more virtue signalling than others.
All workers are equal but… communist bosses are more equal than the workers:that’s why they enjoy a better life isn’t it?

If it weren’t for Spain resisting Andre conquering Al Andalus, this lady would be covered head to toe at home caring for a multitude of children.
The Irish too were more than allowed to enlist the help of their diaspora to fight against occupiers despite the fact they had been there for generations.
Interesting that catholic Ireland and Spain do not afford Jews the same rights in judea.

Where was she previously tweeting to ‘urge the end of the genocide planned by’ hamas against israeli jews? They always talk openly about it so you’d think she’d be speaking just as vocally against that too, right?
Westman says
Spain’s previous domination by Islam wasn’t enough? Why does the liberal left never read and absorb history? Maybe they need more Islam to remember.
LeftisruiningCanada says
From a certain point of view, being so socialist/marxist as they are, they have a kind of secular islam instead of the real thing, at least with respect to islamic/marxian eschatology since they both assume that their system will naturally and unavoidably come to dominate the entire planet at some point in the future.
There are undoubtedly more comparisons which could be made between islam and marxism not least because its widely recognized that marxism is pretty much Christianity for atheists, and islam is also a system which has taken numerous aspects from the jews and christians also.

The Minister needs to review Spain’s history from the 700s to the 1500s and learn some history.

Belarra: Attractive enough on the outside – absolutely vile on the inside.
Daffy deVere says
Could you provide contact details for these people who lie about Israel. Letter writing campaigns seem to have some influence, and they allow the most humble to join the fight against tyranny. Most would need some guidance as to what to say: just a few points should do.
Josephus says
What happened to the old Mossad ? Israel needs to establish the Hand of Justice system against those who profess hate and the killing of Jews all around the world. This is how to combat the international Islamic blackmail and threats . Let there be justice. Action and reaction are equal and opposite. This must be done.

You can’t fix stupid and you have to destroy evil or it keeps spreading.
Virginia Pritchard says
Spains leaders need think about death and where they will go when they die They need to confront the fact that they will face the living God who will judge all they have spoken and done. They will be eternally separated from the living God and go to a place of eternal damnation and darkness.
Mark Pierce says
Jew-hatred has a long and dark history in Spain when it was under both Christian and Muslim rule, and this female politician appeals to a sordid element of the Spanish population that is visciously anti-Semitic. This will however change in due time. As the Islamic population continues to grow in Spain, which already has a deleterious impact on the country as this website documents, ordinary Spaniards will finally know after all these years what it’s like to be an Israeli Jew: to be surrounded by people who hate you and believe they have a divine right to rule over your land because their religion conquered it in the past. (Let’s not forget the 700 year history of Muslim rule in Spain because the Muslims sure haven’t) Perhaps, God forbid, they will even know what it’s like to be an Israeli Jew after October 7th, and they will repent profoundly of the callousness and cruelty to that they showed to Israel during those dark critical days when it was grieving. But by then it will be too late to pull their country back from the abyss.
