Queen Isabella was never beatified by the Vatican. Her case was opened in 1974, but it has ground to a halt, thanks in large part to the efforts of the Jewish-born Cardinal Lustiger. Secondly, Israel has no obligation or interest to assist the Basques, and they are at least as anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian as the rest of Spain. Just read #51. Historically, the Basques were among the most austere in their Catholicism, but today, they and Catalans are the biggest champions of the mad Left-wing government in Madrid. Much as we hate the antics of the Spaniards, the disruption of territorial integrity of sovereign nations, including Spain, would set a negative precedent for Israel.

Have the judge in question, Fernando Andreu of Spain, be judged by an israeli court for insidiously damaging Israel's reputation.

So Israel and Judaism are inhuman. Do you Jesus, Mary, Joseph and Peter just to name a few were also INHUMAN. Sure think most Christians would disagree that Jesus was inhuman.

Looks like they are already judged. I suppose they'll want to burn'im at the stake next. I guess the Spanish just want to vent their inferiority complex somehow so might as well lead the anti sematic rally. And I'm not Jewish, just have my own brain still. have my own brain.

i think you tring to convince yourself you are innocents but other dont see it like this,one of you vs 100 of them if they are terrorist for that what u will be ??there's nothing sick more than your minds and beside its not about court its about yourself,dont look to the gov's look to ppl hears about killing and killing of the palestinians ppl,soon enough you will know what i mean..good luck

Nice to watch you all going out of control and react like uncivilized people in a barberian ways because you thought you are over the law and no one has the the right to judge you , you didn't count for this day ... but wait the worst still to come .

Yes, it is blatant anti-semitism, & a cowardly act from a little "has been" neo-muslim country on the Southern tip of Europe.If it wasnt, they would also be probing war crimes commited by USA, Britain in Iraq & Afganistan, Russia in Chetnya, Turkey against the Kurds & Hamas/Hizbollah for targeting civilians. Facts are facts-I just cancelled my family holiday to Spain, going to Israel instead.

Firstly, the comments regarding the Basques is strictly sarcasm simply asking how the spaniards would react to outside forces supporting terrorists they are engaging. As for isabella, she is still on the road to beatification. Although lustiger and several Jewish groups have been fighting it, as is the fight against hitler's pope, she continues to be at the top of the list. The vatican ascribes numerous "miracles" to her, claiming therefore she meets the criteria. While she never attained "sainthood" on the 500th anniversary - as the spaniards wished - the move is still on. Lustiger got it postponed - not killed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Isabella_of_Spain http://www.catholicculture.org/news/features/index.cfm?recnum=31685 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/mar/04/internationaleducationnews.humanities

that Spanish foreign minister assured her that this law suit will not go forward One more little reason why this delusional woman should not serve in any Israeli government let alone be Prime Minister

You said: 'The Spaniards are getting what is due to them since the 1400's' Wrong. 1400 were the dates when Muslims and Jews were persecuted in Spain by Christians. So 1400s were the end of Muslim rule in Spain.

You say :” Israel is inhumane.” When terror emanates from Gaza Strip -- it is the DUTY of the Israeli government to protect her own civilians, by clipping the wings of Hamas et al. SO, clipping the wings of Hamas et al is NOT inhumane -- it is only natural. TO not provide protection for one’s own civilians -- that is called dereliction of duty (of the Israeli government). When you use “inhumane and religion” in one sentence -- it sounds like you are speaking about the islamist-jihadis and the Muslim religion. You say :” Jewish state which is always in state of aggression.” Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah have in their Charters the clause to destroy Israel and kill the Jews -- it SHOULD be clear to you that Israel will REACT to the aggression perpetrated by Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah. You say :” what a stupid society.” To protect one’s own civilians -- is NOT called stupid. To protect one’s own civilians -- that is what the SANE leaders of the country will do. To not protect one’s own civilians against harm -- that is STUPID. To not protect one’s own civilians against harm -- that means, its leaders are INSANE !!! Examples : look what Hezbollah (by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers in July 2006) did to the inhabitants of Lebanon ; look what Hamas et al (by firing 3,000+ Kassam rockets & mortars since beginning 2008 till December 26th) did to the inhabitants of Gaza Strip. Means that Hezbollah, Hamas et al are being run by INSANE, STUPID leaders. BTW you appear to be new on the YNET platform. You need to do a lot of study, in order to be able to write meaningful TBs. So, don’t be discouraged.

Who really he thinks he is??? Remind him what the Spanish people Did to the Jew. Thanks. Oudi

Someone had to say it...

Israel need only hold a simultaneous trial against Spain for the Spanish Inquisition to put this nonsense in proper perspective. Ralph Gainesville, Florida USA

then when it fails you have precedent for all the other jurisdictions.

Those who defend the Palestinians uncritically are enablers of murder. Not just the murder of Israelis, about whom they clearly could hardly care less, but the murder of the Palestinian victims of the Palestinian terrorists. The uncritical Palestinian partisans also share responsibility for the blood of the Palestinians who die in Israeli strikes intended to stop the aggression against Israelis and Israeli cities. The Israelis living in Judea and Samaria cannot tolerate the stabbing of Jewish boys by Palestinians (Israel cannot let this go on, while the Palestinians fire more powerful rockets deeper into its territory.) These attacks are the only reason for the Israeli strikes. Those who support the Palestinian “resistance” are aiding the provocation that makes these Gaza op necessary. Unless they temper their support with strong and unequivocal criticism of Palestinian aggression, all their sympathy for the Palestinian people is nothing more than crocodile tears as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5da

i don`t think is too late fo judge spain for the crimes in the inquisition we still have time abe

Shehade was resposible for hundreds of Israeli civilians being massacred. He ordered dozens of bus massacres, the disco massacre, Sbarros Massacre, Passover Massacre, the Moment café massacre as the suicide attack at the Sheffield snooker hall in Rishon Letzion. There is a difference between terrorism and defense of innocents. Israel targets terrorists, Israeli civilian deaths are the Palestinians goal. Big difference To imply a moral equivalence between the two, is an insult to the intelligence. The Palestinians deliberately fire from civilian areas and hide among civilians. This death cult tactic was brilliantly described by Alan Dershowitz. I advise you to read this article. DERSHOWITZ: Hamas' dead baby strategy www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/16/hamas-dead-baby-strategy

cast the first stone. I am not a xtian ( any more, for which I am thankful) but I think this verse applies very well. Spain should examine its historican and ongoing terrorism towards Jews starting even before the inquisition..and then drop this hypocrite action.

please please Israel ! ANNOUNCE AN INVESTIGATION OF SPAIN FOR BEING SPINELESS, GUTLESS AND BEING STUPID SPAIN IS GETTING WORSE AFTER THE MADRID BOMBING OR THIS IS SIMPLY SYMPTOMATIC OF NOW ARABS OVERRUNNING EUROPE

According to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs statistics on Palestinian terror, there were 55 suicide bombings committed by Palestinian terrorists in 2002. In these attacks, 220 Israelis were murdered and 2,348 were injured. These attacks took place in "densely populated areas", a criteria Judge Andreu uses to define a crime against humanity. The fatality and casualty rates were higher in attacks against Israelis. This judge ignores Palestinian terror against humanity and is looking to bring Israelis to trial for their defensive response against a specific target following a series of deadly attacks against Israeli civilians. This judge is abusing his power in order to make a name for himself in "humanitarian law" at the expense of Israel. Another blatant, discriminatory effort against Israel. This judge is not fit to perform his job because of his bias.

Woe is to a country where judicial system is run by people like you.

You are really pathetic. The terrorist killed was a founder of a hamas branch. You are really pathetic, not recognize Israel the right to defend itself and its citizens. Remember the bombings of Serbian civilians by NATO, being Solana the Secretary General of the organization. After they had murdered over 3,000 innocents, Solana had the cheek to justify them and said these operations will continue, as they did. Why not start at home and file suit against Solana for genocide?

Unfortunately, our disgovernment is a bunch of notorious anti-Semites. They did not even bother to conceal it and make anti-Semitic declarations in public.

No wonder. The eta terrorists have been always been on their colleagues side. They have closed relations with Hamas and Hizbollah. But do not speak for all the Spaniards, not even all the Basques. Let's be clear, you speak on behalf of ETA.

In my opinion, judge Andreu should also be charged with cooperation with terrorism and for acting against the human right of self-defense.

Don't be naive. The ETA terrorists are friends with the pal gangs. And do you think they would kill judge Andreu or the disgovernment people, who are friends with their friends? They would kill the anti-terrorist people.

Why isn't hamas tried? So you could ask them to prove their innocence. You are the barbarian, defending the terrorists.
