Thousands demonstrate across Spain against ‘genocide’ in Gaza

The Spanish Prime Minister repeated his call for an immediate cease fire.
Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has said that it was his job to call for an immediate cease fire in Gaza, and he called on the leader of the Partido Popular, Mariano Rajoy, to do the same. He said he lamented that Israel continued to bombard Gaza and that he was loyal to his Socialist ideas and in favour of peace.
Speaking at a rally in Orense, ahead of the forthcoming Galician regional elections, Zapatero centred his speech on the Middle East and the economic crisis. He did not mention the chaos on the roads and at airports over the weekend because of the snow.
Meanwhile 250,000 people, according to the organisers, took to the streets of Madrid against the ‘genocide in Palestine’. ‘Genocide is not war’ was one of the chants of the demonstrators who left the Plaza de Cibeles at noon and then held a rally in the Puerta del Sol, where there were calls for an immediate cease fire in Gaza.
On Saturday more than 30,000 people took to the streets of Barcelona also demanding an end to the bombing of Gaza and a commercial boycott of Israel. The demonstration started in the Plaza Universitat and ended in Sant Jaume. Many of the demonstrators carried photos of Palestinian children killed in the conflict.
A similar demonstration also took place despite the rain and cold on Saturday in Valencia outside the City Hall.
The Israeli embassy in a statement accused the Spanish people of having double standards, and asked why they did not demonstrate in the past against the Hamas aggression.

“The Zionist-American Axis has phosphorized German children, atomized Japanese children, soused Vietnamese children with Agent Orange and poisoned Iraqi children with depleted uranium.
It is time for the devastated, scorned and humiliated to fight back.
The best way to fight back is with what I for many years have called “the poor man’s atomic bomb:” that is, historical revisionism, or real history.
This weapon kills and maims no one but it destroys the lies and defamations of the “holocaust© ” myth.
This includes the fantastically profitable libels of the “Holocaust© Industry” This is also known that have been fantastically profitable for mendacious super-swindlers such as Bernard Madoff, Elie Wiesel, the cohorts of “miraculously rescues” and murderers of the children of Gaza. – Prof. Robert Faurisson 2009.

As for Mr. Zapatero, he has already proved in the past that as far as foreign poloicy concerned, he lacks any judgment. We haven’t heard anything from Mr. Zapatero during the past 7 years of Hamas bombardments on southern Israel, and yes, children and women lives there too.

“The best proof that your Nazi gas chambers and your Nazi gas vans did not exist any more than your Jewish soap, your lampshades of human skin and so much other nonsense of a vile war propaganda is that, more than fifty years after that war, your ‘scientific experts’ are, more than ever, unable to show them to us”.

As for the despicable mike walsh, just leave him to his inconsistent, incoherent ramblings. No-one knows what he’s talking about anyway, including him.
