The “little” difference is that almost everyone in Spain is with the assaulted while almost everyone in Israel is with the aggressors.
Where are the idiots praising the spanish government for “standing against usa” by not allowing them to use the military base they have been running in spain for 50 years? How many times do you have to get fooled to understand that they are not your friends?
Acab… Have we learnt nothing? Be they white or black, male or female, old or young, foreign or local, cops are ALWAYS the bad guys.
They were blocking a gate, disrupting other travelers while repeatedly ignoring police orders to move. They staged a scene at an airport, in a country still healing from the scars of ETA terrorism. Who thinks that’s a smart move? What’s the point?
If you ask me, their best-case scenario was probably to provoke a police response, let the images of the confrontation go viral, and grab some attention. Well, the police delivered exactly what they seemed to want.

The flotilla main goal is to bring humanitarian aid to gaza, they are provoking israel by doing it and they are aware of it. This doesn’t sound bad to me because they are bringing attention to israel goverment being an authoritarian regime who torture activists and prisoners.
If a small provocation such as peacefully blocking a gate while protesting a genocide trigger the police to beat up people and arrest them, it sounds a good provocation to me because it get to remember people the reality of the world we live in and what happen the moment you refuse to obey the government.
You’re right. But they also gave Israel the perfect opportunity to make the Spanish government look bad, one of the few countries openly opposing Israel and the U.S. for their illegal wars.
Spain generally is a lot better on the rights of Palestinians than any other European countries except maybe Ireland (but Ireland still allows the US to use their bases for refueling)
Having said that. Cops everywhere are soulless thugs, the lowest scum on earth. ACAB.
Cops are an instrument of state violence so it’s generally reflective of the state if left unchecked (which it usually is).
Generally eu are pretty decent on this but states/countries need to consider how they use force. Esp in the light of how radical groups will galvinise this. Radical should be used in the correct sense, not in the way that we have all be conditioned to align it with extreme terrorism.
At this point it goes against the messaging these states have been parroting the last 20 years. Be a good citizen and report/oust those activist groups. Nothing turns you against the state than a state that beats or starves you.
Israel demands justice for Gaza supporters ?
That doesn’t sound right.
They’re trying to imply that the flotilla activists cause trouble wherever they go and that beating them is almost unavoidable, just to get them to comply with their orders.
There’s just a couple of differences that Israel left out.
- The Spanish police didn’t invade international waters and kidnap the flotilla activists to beat them.
- The flotilla activists complied with the Israel army, as soon as the army illegally invaded their ships and pointed their guns at them.
- The Spanish police haven’t been accused of raping any of them (that I have heard).
No, they’re trying to frame Spain as hypocritical and push the narrative that it’s not only them abusing the flotilla activists which lessens the seriousness of what Israel did.
Kudos for showing the true mechanisms of the Israel manipulations.
And they have beef with Spain since Spain has been possibly the most critical and outspoken against Israel in regard to Palestine.
Okay now that makes sense
It’s the Jerusalem Post. It shouldn’t even be allowed here
why are you guys so quick to censor and ban?
We dont support propaganda and whataboutism. Israeli government officials raped Europeans
if you read the article it was basically a tu quoque
they are saying you accuse us of treating the activists badly and then go around and beat them
