The protests are working.

Good job Spanish protesters and even politicians. This easily could have ended in the politicians blaming the protesters for cancelling an iconic event. Instead they amplified the protest by putting pressure on Israel.

Sadly not all countries in the EU are consquent against Israel, calling genocide what they do in Palestina, like Spain and Pedro Sanchez, which also was the first to promote and recognize Palestina as sovereign state. Its logical that he sypatize with with the protesters.

Of course it affects my image of the country. Go Spain!

To repeat what I’ve posted elsewhere. Back in the day, South Africa wasn’t just isolated by refusal of countries to do business with them, but we let their population know the rest of the worlds views by the banning them from international sporting events. One of the things SA did, was to include black players to show that the subdued could have liberty, but only when it suited SA’s image.
