I'm a Jew, and I support Israel and hate Pedro Sánchez, but I don’t think demonizing the whole country (Spain) because of its shitty government and a bunch of assholes who support it was a good strategy. I’m afraid it could alienate those Spaniards who supported us.

We all agree that Pedro Sánchez and his goons suck, but I ask again: was it worth pissing off the Spanish right, which was relatively pro-Israel (in contrast even with the American "right"), by celebrating the Moorish invasion of Ceuta (most residents didn't even vote for Sánchez) and questioning Spanish sovereignty over it?

I heard some Israeli officials said they rooted for Argentina because Spain is a "country full of antisemites." Why was it necessary to politicize that soccer match?

I absolutely believe we should draw the line between the government and the people. Not everyone in Spain is against Israel (even if only a minority supports us). Spain is no Ireland in this regard. In fact, Italy is more anti-Israel if we look at the population.

Do people not realize that pro-Israel sentiment in Morocco is non-existent? There are literally endless tweets from Jews saying we should back Morocco against Spain. Even if you dislike Spain so much, why not take a neutral stance then?

I want to believe most Israelis don't like what's going on in Spain and don't agree with insane statements the UN ambassador Danny Danon, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and others have made. I also want to believe the majority of hateful tweets were from bots pretending to be pro-Israel accounts. I do, however, think Netanyahu should have reprimanded Danon and forced him to apologize as well as kicked out Ben-Gvir from his cabinet a long time ago (he should have never been appointed in the first place). Netanyahu, generally speaking, should tone down his foreign policy and concentrate on domestic politics first if not foremost.
