Spain is doing a lot of good things lately...

My favourite is: “Sánchez to Trump: Spain won't applaud those who set the world on fire just because they then show up with a bucket”

Though, it’s mostly just talk on Spain’s part. For instance, Spain choosing to do a carve out of their new Israeli tech ban to allow Airbus to continue using Israeli tech to manufacture military equipment in their Spanish facilities. https://aero-space.eu/2026/01/05/spain-grants-airbus-exemption-from-ban-on-israeli-technology/

Dracogame Apr 11, 2026 +19
But that makes total sense. You simply can’t swap out tech overnight, especially if it’s military.

Idk normalizing relations with Iran seems like the wrong direction. Not super happy with all of Israel's actions but at least bibi should be gone soone enough, last roothless authoritarian who has killed hundreds of thousands of people has been recently replaced only by his son in Iran...

Spudtron98 Apr 10, 2026 +103
Yeah, Iran is currently carrying out public hangings of protestors and operating a massive extortion scheme. Why the f*** should anyone diplomatically reward them for that shit?

Ali-Salman Apr 10, 2026 +38
They shouldn't, no one should reward either of the two sides. Both have caused numerous deaths and destruction under the banner of religion.

Are you going to stop normalizing with the USA too then? Israel killed more in gaza than Iran.

FlyingAdHominem Apr 10, 2026 +8
Normalizing relations with Iran when they are murdering protesters daily is not a good thing.

IvorTheEngineDriver Apr 10, 2026 +41
Nor it is to indulge murderous, vile, corrupt, manipulative coward psychopaths like Benny and Donny. In an ideal world neutrality between the two sides would be the better option, but...

FlyingAdHominem Apr 10, 2026 -29
So your dislike of Israel and Donny somehow justify normalizing relations with a terrorist regime?

I’m an American who moved to Spain permanently during the first Trump term. The first time I got to pay my taxes and social security in Spain I quite literally wept with joy and pride because it’s a f****** honor to do my civic duty here under this administration.

The nation that has carried out over 200 acts of sabotage all over Europe. Same nation that is ally of China. Come to think of it, Spain has been really chummy with China even giving them a contract to store judicial wiretaps of their citizens.

Hentai_Yoshi Apr 10, 2026 -2
I’ve kind of been reaching this conclusion as well recently. Spain seems like an excellent country for Russia and China I do respect Spain in vocally standing up to Trump with the whole Iran conflict, but I don’t trust them as a western ally.

Spain has raised military spending to the 2% target everybody had agreed to. It also doesn't roll $600 billion of veteran healthcare into "military expenses" because it actually has a functional universal healthcare system.

Minimum-Act-3030 Apr 10, 2026 +39
Seems to be the case against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran. Egypt and Jordan have ceasefire and peace deal, no military action has ever been exchanged between them and Israel. Such a deal however has never been able to be worked out with these three.

Yes, when the people who surround you promise they will keep going until your nation and all it's people cease to exist, yes these are the 2 options. But I wouldn't expect someone like you who has never been under an existential threat their entire life to understand it.

zapreon Apr 10, 2026 -35
Eh, Spain has been a hostile country to Israel for plenty of years. This isn't changing anything. Israel also doesn't really need to care about changing it, as economically, militarily and diplomatically, Spain doesn't really matter much to Israel. Spain also cannot mobilize through sanctions in a realistic way as this is through the EU, where even during the Gaza war, there wasn't majority support for limited sanctions. Countries tend to not lose much when already hostile countries say they are upset, because hostile countries tend to have already burned through any material means of leverage. In the case of Spain, it either did so (e.g. effectively zero defense exports for many many years) or is simply unable to threaten anything because it's not in their power (economic sanctions)

It's always good to see deplorable evil behavior called out even if they can't effectively 'do anything'... Hopefully it encourages more governments

OneMagicMango Apr 11, 2026 +4
I think this applies to any country in this stupid unnecessary war. Both have done fucked shit. I’m just so sick of all these countries doing evil and horrible shit and that affecting innocent men, women, and children. Iran uses child soldier and to clear minefields and Israel blew up Gaza children, and America has a president involved with Epstein. Can these men, women, and children not have normal lives?

yosisoy Apr 11, 2026 +6
You think Israeli children have normal lives? This region is fucked and has been fucked since the British and French fucked it over a hundred years ago

Kalsto6 Apr 11, 2026
Israeli children have to go and hide in bunkers almost everyday especially if they live in Deir al-Asad and other town that Hezbollah targets from Litani River. Western nations have normalised this for 30 years, you have to dig in Israeli newspapers to even see this if you're a westerner. Israel used to be the most left wing country in the world, more than US, more than anyone else and earlier but if you grew up always worried about when the next rocket will hit you, you're going to choose the right wing people who can promise you that safety. Btw, British could've let Jordan take all the Arabs out of Mandatory Palestine, they had thousands of years of history to know exactly what the f*** was going to happen. Syria and Jordan got lands and had expelled all their Jews to Mandatory Palestine, they would've taken people for Transjordan and there would hardly be any bloodshed.

megalodondon Apr 10, 2026 -7

Veldern Apr 10, 2026 -7
Israel is bad, and Iran is at least one magnitude worse than that, so if we're using the words "deplorable evil behavior" then I would imagine we're talking about the worst one
-7
Calimariae Apr 10, 2026 +2
Why is Iran even part of this conversation?
2
Veldern Apr 11, 2026 +6
The Gaza Coordination Center the title is talking about exists to stabilize things in the Gaza Strip after the war between Israel and Hamas. While Hamas is not directly an Iranian proxy like Hezbollah, it was largly funded and in many ways proped up by Iran. It's like asking why China would be a part of a Vietname War conversation

Israel is much much more compliant with the crazy person at the national scale as Germans were for the painter. The level of fanaticism and indoctrination in Israel is at a scale that wasn't present at the same scale in Germany. There were partisan fighters and active rebellion inside Germany, there is none inside Israel (Or the US).

They have sworn to kill everyone involved in Oct 7th. They were pretty darn successful in that. They even killed the cult leader of a whole religious group which also served as the political spearhead of the biggest country in the Middle East. If you take that as a goal, I don’t know how people are able to spin this as a failure.
