8. the last act
tiki ,   belgium   (08.21.11)
Before they will have to give back their place in parliament, this failed socialist governement (40% youth out of work) wants to make a 'stand. To bring to life another failed state. Stupidity, lack of responsability & credibility are the main driver of todays 'irresponsible leaders and failed politics which will come to haunt the world for decades to come..

10. Spain & the PA have a lot in common.

Both hate Jews & both are going bankrupt. Funny how those two characteristics go together.
11. Unbelievable...in light of recent terrorism
Susie ,   ISRAEL   (08.21.11)
Beyond the ridiculous to say the least !! How can you even THINK about giving recognition in the light of the recent terrorist attacks.? On Thursday, innocent Israeli citizens travelling on an a stretch of highway in Israel, were brutually murdered by terrorists who had made their way from Sinai via Gaza into Israel. I will not go into the horrifying details.....as a result, the Israeli military has launched its attacks. If the Palestinians want to be recognized as a country, then they should damn well behave as such. If the Palestinians had an ounce of human decency, they would release Gilad Shalit immediately. This should be the initial step for them to be recognized as a country. Second, they should recognize Israel's right to exist.....the list could go on and on. Any recognition of a people/country in the UN must abide by basic principles and if they don't...to hell with them. And SPAIN...your timing is so off. Your economy has collapsed and you are recognizing a terrorist state. Do you really think they will assist you when you are in need? You have learnt NADA from your own history. FOOLS INDEED !!!
12. THE COWARDS SPEAK
Mark frok Georgia ,   USA   (08.21.11)
Stupidity at its best. By sending this mixed message you don't a message of "hope" (to the Pals), but one of weakness. This will increase the violence. Why? Because the Pals are being rewarded for it, and getting what they want, even if only partially. If all the Western countries United and gave the Pals NOTHING, plus fully endorsed Israel to take whatever action Israel deems necessary without any condemnation. The war would over in 12 months, The Pals would forced to come to the table. But as long as foolish countries like Spain back these mythical people only invented recently (1964) the violence will continue. We all can thank Spain and any other cowardly nations like them.
13. Spain

Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.21.11)
Barcelonta Beach in Barca, it seems to me the average "Jose" on the beach today doesn´t give a hoot about any of this.
17. Terrorist Abbas Financed Massacre of Israeli Athletes at
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (08.21.11)
the Munich Olympic Games. Why is Spain and the nations not demanding Abbas be brought to justice for Abbas's financing the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games? Because the murder victims were Jews, the elites shake hands with this terrorist Jew-hater and warmly welcome him into the White House, Spain, and other countries. Bible, Genesis: And G-D said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground". There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Jerusalem was NEVER considered holy by Islam. Spain and the nations: Stop trying to STEAL the Holy Land!
18. Spain Surrender Half ofYOUR Country & CapitalTo Global Islam
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (08.21.11)
Spain and the nations: Stop demanding Israel surrender to global jihad unless you are also willing to surrender your countries and capitals. HYPOCRITES!
19. only Israeli response
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.21.11)
Whereas the Palestinians are simply Arabs with no separate cultural identity the Basque are a race and culture distinct from any other, who are oppressed by the most primitive and brutal occupation. The aim of the Spanish (and French) occupiers is cultural genocide, this is despite the fact that the Basque pose no threat to the Spanish or French. Israel should immediately start supplying arms and training to the Basque freedom fighters.
20. Spain
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (08.21.11)
More than 750 years under islamic rule - and they have learnt nothing.

24. I'm so excited for September to come.

25. Both of these sc*mbags,
G. Fränkl   (08.21.11)
Trinidad Jimenez and Zapatero are 5* antisemites.
26. To Spain: You Have a Lot of Bull
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (08.21.11)
Spain was neutral during WW2.Yeah, and Ill sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for cheap. The Spanish Inquisition cost we Jews tens of thousands, killed andtortured...500,000 Jews left for greener pastures. Spain was solidly behind Hitler..and had Hitler won..the remainder of Spanish Jews, well, toast. as well as world Jewry. Now, Spain, with EU problems..wanting to be bailed out by US, etc. ( lets remind them of this vote) is aiding the eventual destruction of Israel, (they want it, like itself, Judenrein). To my fellow Jews and Christians, what can we do? Well for starters, write your Spanish embassies and consulates. Secondly...tourism, to Spain ( by Jews), history. Spend your converted dollars in Israel. Spains currency has no value.. to Spain; go to hell.
27. Spain and th eMandate, Judenrein
NoahLev ,   hollywoodUSA   (08.21.11)
To Noodles: no US or Diaspora Jew should tour Spain. Certainly any Israeli contemplating..must think twice. Current tourists..cancel your flight or reservations. There is Portugal...or even France ( supplied Israel with atomic bomb tech when it need it, and those Mystere Jets ( 67 War).There are over 10m hidden Jews in Spain, conversos....Catholics call them pigs.They do not even know their backgrounds. Its time to inform them. Welcome them back to their spiritual homeland (Israel). The Inquisition was no fluke. Anti-Semitism i spart of their soul. With over 100 rockets fired into Israel by Muslim groups..how can any country support Pales statehood, unless their real motive is to make theformer Mandate Judenrein ( a la the Inquisition?)/
28. re: I'm so excited for September to come.
john ,   New York   (08.21.11)
"Selma," there is no 'Palestine' and never was. Your dead leader, may he rot in feces, was an EGYPTIAN. The 'palestinians' have a 'country,' it's called Jordan
29. spain etc.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   mankind-citizenship.   (08.22.11)
this time, that is a good action by the spanish people. the palestinian people and the kurdish people, have as any people, the right of their own state, no matter what other people think of it. this can be considered as a lesson/usefull experience for the entire people of humanity/mankind.
