The ongoing war started by Hamas against Israel has been exposing the rampant antisemitism in some European countries, especially in Portugal and Spain. It is not surprising since these two countries have been governed by radical socialist-communist parties over the last years with strong ties with the Iranian ayatollah regime and Russia.

Josep Borrell – the European Union's top diplomat – does not shy away from exposing his bare naked bias against Israel and the Jewish People for the whole world to see.
Do not forget that Borrell is a Spanish politician from the socialist party and very close to Jose Luis Zapatero, a close ally to Venezuelan narco-regime leader Nicolás Maduro.
Borrell, the leader of EU foreign policy, explicitly stated that Israel bolstered Hamas in the context of a sordid plan to weaken the Palestinian Authority.
A prominent neo-nazi website (which is now very active in the dark web) spread this conspiracy theory blaming Israel for Hamas' existence – and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the true master behind the most lethal attack against the Jewish People since the Holocaust. The theory goes so far as to accuse the sitting Israeli government of ordering the killing of Israeli citizens to create the political-military justification to "invade and occupy" Gaza.
It is also worth mentioning that this very same antisemitic conspiracy theory is also being spread by Brazilian digital platforms linked to a Russian disinformation-espionage sting controlled directly by the FSB (Russian intelligence service), according to the US State Department.
In fact, the new Spanish government led by Pedro Sanchez is supported by a coalition of small extremist parties very friendly to Russia, China, and Iran – the most prominent one is Carles Puigdemont, the politician who wants to divide Spain by making Catalonia an independent state from Madrid, openly advocating for secession. In advancing his cause, Puigdemont has been counting on the support of Vladimir Putin and all the Russian state's apparatus, including Edward Snowden. It is no coincidence that Edward Snowden's affiliated media – curiously, the most famous one is located in Brazil as well, financially backed by Iran/Qatar – is also disseminating the antisemitic conspiracy theory articulated by Borrell.
Make no mistake: Vladimir Putin is now the broker of the current Spanish government through Puigdemont. A (free) piece of advice: If Borrell wants to make a real difference, he should start at home – by calling out his friends and allies in the Spanish government for their ties with Iran, Vladimir Putin, and Russian intelligence services. Walk the walk, Mr. Borrell.
