Spain Says No Ammo for Genocide, Calls Congress's Bluff
Spain's parliament, by a vote of 178 to 169, has passed a law solidifying an arms embargo against Israel, a policy already in effect since the conflict's outset, according to Al Jazeera. This move stands in stark contrast to the U.S. Congress, where bills like H.R. 815, providing billions in unconditional aid to Israel, pass with bipartisan zeal. One might wonder what makes Spain's lawmakers so
different; perhaps they simply forgot to check their OpenSecrets accounts? This formal embargo makes Spain an outlier among NATO allies, many of whom continue to supply arms, often laundered through third parties, despite overwhelming evidence of civilian targeting. It appears some nations prioritize human rights over defense contractor profits and the influence of foreign lobbying groups. How
charmingly anachronistic.
