#Morocco has awarded a special ‘gift of friendship’ to the commander of the Israeli Air Force, who is in charge of bombing the #Gaza Strip on a daily basis.
@geneva_convenience I understand how it feels to live under a brutal dictatorship. I lived under 2 of them.
Problem I have with Moroccans, Saudis, UAEs and sadly most of the other Arab nations, is that they don’t even act when they live in western democracies.
Having their education system taken over, being fully indoctrinated with European exceptionalism, and having their own culture fully banned for generations will do that.
They now believe that all they need to do to become as rich as Europe is to ban headscarves and open nightclubs. It is akin to the culture war in America which is used to deflect from any class warfare movement.
What is still exceptional is the influence which you can notice in Spain in its solidarity with Palestine. Far more than the rest of Europe. Which likely stems from its period of Caliphate rule. It is exceptional how far the reach of the past goes.
It’s easy blaming everything on government, but I have had very unpleasant discussions with store owners of north African origin and my former co-workers about their lack of action, refusal to participate in something as simple as boycotting Israeli products.
They all talk about supporting Palestinians but something simple like not selling Israeli dates or jafa fruits gets them angry and upset.

Were they young people or boomers?
@geneva_convenience I have no idea what the Fuck does that mean.
They are people of all ages, some lived most of their adult lives in France
@geneva_convenience
Some go even further in their disgusting hypocrisy and pretend those products are made in Spain or Morocco.
