Breaking relations between Spain and Israel right now!
Pedro Sánchez's words and feints are not enough because it is a genocide, not a war, relations with Israel must be broken and a fundamental solution must be proposed, for a single Palestine, secular, democratic and socialist. The International Socialist League (LIS) carries out an international solidarity campaign.
He 23 of November, after being sworn in as president, Pedro Sánchez visited Israel accompanied by the Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander de Croo. He met with the president, Isaac Herzog and with the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. And he told journalists that it is “totally unacceptable” the “indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, including thousands of boys and girls”. It also opened the door for Spain to recognize the Palestinian State even if the European Union does not do so..
This was too much for the Zionists who rejected “the false claims of the prime ministers of Spain and Belgium that they support terrorism“. Then, The Foreign Minister called the Spanish and Belgian ambassadors for consultations, for a reprimand. According to Netanyahu, “they did not attribute full responsibility to Hamas for the crimes against humanity that it perpetrated, massacring Israeli citizens and using Palestinians as human shields”.
from now, we repudiate Israel's incomparable cynicism, the real person responsible for what is happening in the Middle East since the establishment of the State with blood and fire in 1948, the ethnic cleansing and colonization of Palestine until the current genocide. Sánchez always recognized Israel's right to “fend” and clarified that “We must tell friendly countries the truth“, to make it clear which side he is on, but this is of no use to the Zionist extreme right. Sánchez's statements are the product of great street pressure in Europe against Israel's crimes and in support of Palestine, which also find echo in massive and repeated mobilizations in the Spanish State.
It is known that “Words are taken by the wind”, but in the case of Sánchez, a simple breeze is enough. What is needed, no double talk, is that Spain breaks relations with Israel right now. This is what Barcelona City Council did on 24 of November, in whose plenary session he approved suspending relations with Israel, with the support of the PSC, BComú and ERC, against JxCat, PP y Vox, “until there is a definitive ceasefire and respect for the basic rights of the Palestinian people is guaranteed”.
Spain has to break political and commercial relations, since Israel is sixth in sales and ninth in purchases of war material from the country for millions of euros. The links reach such a point that the National Intelligence Center (CNI) He is a client of Zionism, That is why some time ago it bought the Pegasus system that it used from the Israeli company NSO., among other services, to illegally spy on Catalan independence leaders. only in 2022, Spain exported to Israel for a value of 2.170 millions of euros, according to ICEX data, is a 20% more regarding 2021. For example, in the region of Bagés in Catalonia, there is the ICL (Israel Chemicals Ltd.) Iberia Suria & Salt that produces potassium.
It is no coincidence that the Barcelona Stevedores have decided to block the shipment of war material to Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian people.. Nor is it the case that activists have accessed the lobby of the Hotel Cortés in Barcelona., owned by an Israeli tycoon. While we continue to promote mobilizations against the genocide of the Palestinian people, we have to demand that governments break political and commercial relations with Israel, starting with Spanish and the regional ones. Everything in the way of one “Free palestine, from the river to the sea”, for a single Palestine, secular, democratic and socialist. Join the international campaign carried out by the International Socialist League (LIS).
