Spain: Hundreds of Celebrities Calling on Government to Impose Arms Embargo on Israel

The reach of the US Empire has already shrank massively.

Celebrities in the United States are largely unwilling to say anything against the Jews, but they can’t prevent celebrities in US vassal states from doing so.

The Guardian:

More than 250 cultural figures from across Spain, including the film director Pedro Almodóvar and the Money Heist actor Alba Flores, have signed a letter calling on the Spanish government to urgently impose a “comprehensive arms embargo” on Israel.

The letter, made public this week on social media and addressed to the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, calls on Spain to formally ban the export and import of military material to and from Israel and says: “History will judge us by our actions at critical moments like this. Let us put an end to this horror.”

In the year since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in which more than 1,200 people were killed, Sánchez has emerged as one of the EU’s most outspoken critics of Israel’s response, which has so far killed more than 42,000 people, many of them civilians.

Is that why he’s been critical of Israel? Because of the Hamas attack?

This month Sánchez condemned attacks by Israel’s armed forces against the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon and said Spain had halted the issuing of licences to companies for the sale of weapons to Israel in October last year. He urged the international community to do the same to prevent further escalation of violence in the region.

Research by the Barcelona-based Centre Delàs, which focuses on issues related to disarmament and peace, has suggested a more nuanced picture, however. In February the centre revealed on the news site Eldiario.es that ammunition worth €987,000 had been exported to Israel from Spain in late 2023.

The Spanish secretary of state for trade said the exports were related to licences issued before 7 October and described the materiel as “medium-calibre ammunition without explosives”, in comments made to Eldiario.es. The exports had been used in “testing or demonstrations” rather than in conflict, it was said.

France, which is run by lunatics obsessed with supporting America’s war effort in the Ukraine, is also speaking out against Israel now.

Basically, the US and UK are the only countries supporting Israel. It’s a wild scene, and the longer this goes on, the more ridiculous it is going to get.
