              I mean, they can (rightly) justify it as being for moral reasons and still get brownie points with the muslim community. Two for one.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Spanish government announced it will deny ports of call to any vessel carrying weapons to Israel.

    Spanish authorities have refused a ship carrying weapons for Israel permission to dock at one of the country’s ports.

    The foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one obvious reason: the Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace.”

    The Danish-flagged cargo ship, ‘Marianne Danica,’ departed from India with 27 tonnes of explosives, according to the Spanish newspaper El País.

    ‘Borkum’ received government authorisation to stop in Cartagena on Friday as its final destination is the Czech Republic, not Israel, according to transport minister Óscar Puente.

    However, officials from the left-wing parties Sumar and Podemos have asked the government to deny access to ‘Borkum’ in support of Palestine.


    The original article contains 251 words, the summary contains 127 words. Saved 49%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      First of all, it’s not a good look ending an anecdote about a terrorist attack with hahahaha’s.

      Second, Spain ain’t funding Hamas or Isis (which you for some reason bring up.)

      Third, we’re not rooting for one side or the other to conquer the other. Most people believe arming people who murder civilians is a bad idea.

      Fourth, Israel is clearly murdering civilians and engaging in a plethora of war crimes. It’s not odd that Spain doesn’t want to be complicit. That shouldn’t be difficult to grasp no matter if you root for one side, the other or just hoping for a peaceful end to this conflict
