Israel is not the first: the extreme left has already falsely accused Spain of 'genocide'

Two years ago, the State of Israel suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history and the largest anti-Semitic massacre since the Holocaust.

A detailed analysis of the deaths in Gaza that refutes accusations of 'genocide'
The far-left spread the 'genocide' hoax when there were more deaths in Israel than in Gaza

A hoax to whitewash Hamas and cover up socialist corruption

In a perverse campaign that only serves to whitewash the terrorists of this massacre, the far left and Islamists are falsely accusing Israel of committing "genocide", a hoax launched by the far left when there were more deaths in Israel than in Gaza. To debunk this lie, it is enough to review the facts, which indicate that Israel is carrying out one of the most precise ground offensives in the history of warfare. If civilians are dead in Gaza, it is because Hamas started this war and is now using them as human shields, a strategy that constitutes a war crime and which, curiously, the far left does not offer the slightest criticism.

Within the far left, one of the main disseminators of this hoax against Israel is the socialist Pedro Sánchez, president of the Spanish government, formed by a coalition of socialists and communists. It is striking to note that Sánchez has not accused Hamas, Russia, or communist China of "genocide" for the October 7 massacre, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the extermination of the Uyghur people, respectively. Sánchez only uses this accusation against Israel, in a cocktail of contempt for the truth and anti-Semitism that, furthermore, has a clear political purpose: to distract attention from the corruption scandals of his government and his party.

The far left invents false genocides but does not condemn the real ones

Sánchez's lack of scruples could end up turning against Spain. After all, Israel is not the first country to suffer from the hoaxes of the far left, an ideological movement that refuses to condemn the crimes of communism, with more than 100 million victims, and also refused to call the massacres of Christians and Yazidis by ISIS "genocide." For decades, the strategy of the far left has been evident: communists do not condemn real genocides and at the same time they invent false genocides.

The 'genocide' hoaxes launched by the far-left against Spain

Precisely, the country that has suffered the most from these false accusations of genocide by the far left is not Israel, but Spain. For years, the most radical left has been developing its own version of the anti-Spanish black legend. Let us remember, for example, that Podemos, one of the far-left parties that hates Israel the most, has accused Spain of "genocide" for the Reconquista (the long struggle to expel the Muslims who violently invaded the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century) and also for the Discovery of America, which They describe it as an "extermination" operation, exhibiting the same lack of rigor that they show in their hoaxes against Israel.

For years, the far left has been using these false accusations of "genocide" against Spain to call for the cancellation of celebrations such as October 12, Hispanic Heritage Day, and January 2, the anniversary of the Capture of Granada, which completed the Reconquista in 1492. The objective is clear: to discredit our country by distorting history, which clearly shows that Spain did not commit any genocide in America, but rather put an end to one: the one being committed by the Aztecs. In fact, the Spanish Empire helped preserve indigenous languages by publishing grammars for Nahuatl and Quechua before the first grammar for English.

Discrediting democratic countries while supporting dictatorships

While fueling this anti-Spanish black legend, and without feeling the slightest hint of shame, the far left openly supports dictatorships such as Cuba, China, Venezuela, Belarus, Iran, Vietnam, North Korea, and Palestine itself, where elections have not been held since 2006 because the Palestinian National Authority fears losing them. These dictatorships violate the most basic human rights, but the far left remains absolutely silent on the matter. All their hatred and propaganda campaigns are directed against democratic countries such as Israel, the United States, and also Spain.

Let's see how Sánchez can reject these far-left lies against Spain after having supported their lies against Israel. Will we see the Spanish president suspending the celebration of October 12th in a few days to satisfy his communist partners? With this unscrupulous man in government, anything is possible.
