Israel dismisses any and all criticism, and always complains about medieval history as an ad hominem attack. Turkey complains about Israel
killing Turkish civilians? Israel replies something about Turkey mistreating Armenians. German government complains about mistreatment of Palestinians? Call them modern Nazis. Now Spain gets derided as something from nearly 600 years ago.
The Armenian genocide wasn’t that long ago, it happened during my grandmother’s lifetime, and the current leader of Turkey still denies it was a genocide. But bringing up the Spanish inquisition in 2024 is wack.
Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to clarify that it was a lot more recent than the middle ages, especially with how much genocide denial has been attempting to minimize those atrocities lately.

Franco, and killing bulls for pleasure
Dear Israel: If everyone is a fascist but you, maybe YOU’RE the fascist?
