SPAIN’S SPLIT PERSONALITY: They Solicit Jews to Become Citizens and then Ban the Very Heart of Judaism

Sephardic Jews, currently living worldwide, emanated from the Iberian Peninsula and spread throughout Europe, Asia, South America, North America, Africa, and Australia. They were forced to leave Spain in 1492 due to the Alhambra Decree,  an expulsion order by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, which was closely tied to the Spanish Inquisition’s authoritarian goal of religious uniformity, threatening Jews to convert, die, or flee Spain by the end of July 1492, creating a massive diaspora to the Ottoman Empire, North Africa, and other parts of Europe.

Spain’s King Felipe during a ceremony on November 30, 2015 celebrated a law through which Sephardic Jews can apply for Spanish citizenship, at the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain.

Despite such reassuring words by the government of Spain, over 100 municipal and regional entities have sought to ban and punish Israel, its products and services, associations, and viability through antisemitic measures.

Spain’s anti-Israel political activities and climate have also spilled over into and/or reinforced Venezuelan antisemitic violence prevalent for decades.
On Dec. 30, 2025, Spain enacted a ban on the import of Israeli goods from Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan.

On Dec. 29, 2025, Spain threatened seven real-estate property rental platforms with unspecified consequences unless they remove Israeli listings in Judea and Samaria.
On May 14, 2025, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called Israel a “genocidal state,” and his country has intervened in favor of the genocide case that South Africa filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice in 2023.

The vestiges of the Spanish Inquisition are reviving themselves against Jews … in unholy alliances with other nations, just as the Bible warns:

2 See how Your enemies growl, how Your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against Your people; they plot against those You cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;they form an alliance against You — Psalm 83:2-5

Spanish anti-BDS org gets boycott resolution nixed by court

A Spanish district court has annulled a BDS resolution passed by the municipal council of Ayamonte banning any association or economic agreement with Israeli companies and organizations.

A Spanish district court has annulled a BDS resolution passed by the municipal council of Ayamonte, a town in the country’s southwest, banning any association or economic agreement with Israeli companies and organizations.

The decision was made September 4 in response to a legal suit by the ACOM anti-BDS organization in Spain, which has succeeded in fighting a strong battle against the spate of more than 100 municipal and regional council BDS resolutions.

ACOM has succeeded in having approximately 35 of these resolutions repealed or annulled, of which the Ayamonte resolution, originally passed in May 2017, is the latest.

The initiative behind these resolutions, all of which are extremely similar in content, comes principally from the left-wing populist Podemos Party which is strongly pro-Palestinian.

These BDS motions include provisions banning the municipality or local authority from entering into contracts and agreements with Israeli companies and entities, and even banning business ties and agreements with Spanish citizens who are associated with Israel or Israeli organizations and companies.

The Huelva Court Number 1 wrote in its decision that the content of Ayamonte’s resolution “violates Article 14 of the Spanish Constitution,” since it incites and discriminates against Spanish citizens for reasons of birth, race, sex, religion, opinion or other conditions or circumstance, personal or social, ACOM said.

This latest victory follows the retraction by the municipal authority of Sagunto, a town in eastern Spain, of a BDS motion it approved in June this year.
