Spanish city declares Israel an ‘illegal country’ [Valencia]

Following a major Spanish city’s vote to boycott Israel, the leader of Spain’s third-largest party called the Jewish state a “criminal country” during an interview aired by public television broadcaster.

Pablo Iglesias Turrión, leader of the Podemos far-left party, said this in an interview earlier this week on RTVE.

“We need to act more firmly on an illegal country like Israel,” said Iglesias Turrión, whose party in 2015 won 20 percent of the votes in the general election just one year after its creation.

Last week, a motion promoted by a local fraction of Podemos on the city council of Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, was passed declaring a boycott of Israel and Valencia a “Israeli apartheid-free zone.”

Podemos has called for a blanket boycott of Israel and has accused its government many times of pursuing apartheid-like policies. However, calling Israel’s existence illegal is a new development.

ACOM, a Spanish pro-Israel group, said that Iglesias Turrión’s statement reflects anti-Semitism because Podemos does not consider any other country in the world illegal but Israel. …

Back to the SPANISH INQUISITION?

Are they going to declare that all Jews convert, leave Valencia, or be killed?

How about Muslims?

Hey...the Spanish already did all of that....to their own detriment!

How about declaring that Iran is an "ILLEGAL COUNTRY"?

Better still, that this moron and his party ARE "illegal"?

Spain was once a world power. Not anymore, and not ever again.

Nadie espera a la Inquisición Española.

Lefties like Podemos love Iran.

another SS (Satanic Sicko)

If he would study Spanish history, he will learn it took Spain over 700 years (781 years in fact, from the Muslim invasion of 711 to when Spain finally broke free of them in 1492)...... to fight off the Muslim invader hordes

he should be more understanding about freedom and independence from Muslim dictatorship and suppression

Of course they do; they also probably yearn for another Franco, Hitler, etc.!

The Spanish have been making life difficult for jews for five centuries. A bad habit picked up from the lengthy Moorish occupation of Iberia.

Its OK Podemos. Spain already drove pretty much all the Jews who once lived there out. You don’t need to engage in jew hatred anymore.

These are not Nazis. They are communists. Period.

Franco was not anti-Semitic and secretly saved the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of European Jews fleeing Nazi occupied France, etc.

The Spanish Communist Party was once one of Stalin’s strongest supporters in the world. I believe it has changed its name but it is still around, though newer Marxist parties are emerging in a fight for the leadership of the fight against the proletarian and Starbucks.

#16/ It should have read ‘the fight for the proletariat and against Starbucks’ but give them a few minutes. They’ll change their ideological orientation and target to something like being anti-Maltese Falcon and pro-Mifsud

Looks like this Spanish city is in for some BIG TROUBLE ahead . . .

City?

a ‘leader’ of third largest party in a city ?

Isnt that like Bernie Sanders doing his usual un-american rant ?

Doesn’t the EU have laws against putting down a religion ?
