Did not expect Spain on this list, good for them!
Nobody expects the Spanish recognition!
Leave.
You forgot the "take my upvote and" part
We don’t do that here. :P
It will take a while before we can shake off the redditisms, I think. But I'm with ya
Spain has been rallying for this for months! They're pulling their weight in this issue.
Recently, Spain declined a ship carrying weapons to Israel to use their port.
Not thanks to the P$0€.
Do you think this may have something to do with the declining votes for the Catalan separatist parties?
No idea. I suppose Catalan and Basque separatism is quite different from Palestinian. Maybe it's due to Spains proximity to the Arab world?
Those parties are in the current Spanish government. Also the issue of independence is talked about less. Hence this is possible.
Weird, but I guess modern times. Back in the days they got rid of Jews, Muslims and what they considered the wrong type of Christians.
Back in the day, Spain was also the first to go to war against European fascism.
edit: Oh look - downvotes. I guess somebody must be really upset that anyone would dare raise a finger against fascists...
I wonder who that could be.
In 1492, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castille issue the Alhambra Decree, mandating that all Jews be expelled from the country
Between 1492 and 1610, some 3,000,000 Muslims voluntarily left or were expelled from Spain
The autos de fé of the mid-century virtually put an end to Spanish Protestantism, which was, throughout, a small phenomenon to begin with. After 1562, though the trials continued, the repression was much reduced. About 200 Spaniards were accused of being Protestants in the last decades of the 16th century.
The Spanish Inquisition was a judicial institution that lasted between 1478 and 1834. Its ostensible purpose was to combat heresy in Spain, but, in practice, it resulted in consolidating power in the monarchy of the newly unified Spanish kingdom.
The true reason of the Alhambra Decree was that the kings had to return a lot of money to the Jews and the fastest way to cancel that dept was to kick them out using the religious card. Just like France did to the Templars.
Back in the day is half a millennium ago.
Unlike some countries, they saw the error of their ways.
Spain has XXI century Western Values, unlike the US which seems to have never entered the XXI century when it comes to Humanist values and Israel which at best has the Western Values of early XX century Germany.
