Spain has never oppressed Morocco.
Quick comments on the migration gates Morocco opened on Spain: 1- Ceuta and Melilla are originally Moroccan. They were occupied by Spain. However, if elections were held among the native Arab residents of Ceuta and Melilla, the overwhelming majority would choose Spain. Not only that, if elections were held in any city in North Africa and its residents were given the choice between joining Spain or remaining part of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, or Egypt, they would choose to become part of Spain. Because that would free them from their failed authoritarian regimes, which have failed even to build hospitals or schools, or even allow them freedom of expression about their own miserable living conditions. Those residents would say: “Why should I take the risk and possibly die in the Mediterranean? Migration has come to my home.” 2- The migration issue has always been used by these unelected, authoritarian regimes, whose only legitimacy comes from Western recognition, as a pressure card. Since there is no doubt that the Moroccan police are complicit in opening the border gates, this does not elevate the Moroccan regime. Rather, it shows that its own citizens want to escape its hell and its failure. 3- There is no doubt that Israel and the anti-immigration Trump administration have a hand in this. The evidence is the celebration by media outlets and accounts affiliated with Israel and the right wing, which are sharing these videos and describing them as an “invasion.” Morocco is a country that normalized relations with Israel, has joint military cooperation with it, and Trump recognized the disputed Western Sahara as part of Morocco. None of that comes without a price, especially after Spain’s positive stance on Gaza and the Palestinian cause. 4- The ruling institutions in France, Spain, and Italy should understand that the peoples of North Africa want nothing more than to live with dignity in their own homelands, and that the only thing capable of stopping migration from North Africa is not the repressive regimes that use it as a pressure card, but hope for these peoples in their own countries. If the peoples of North Africa rid themselves of these repressive regimes, this would not only stop migration, but would also open the door for the voluntary return of migrants in Europe who fled the hell of these regimes. The peoples of North Africa are not hostile to Spain because it stood with the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Rather, if there were a government that comes from the will of the people, this would serve as a motive for building relations based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.
⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram. The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash. The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.
The man tasked with shutting down the generator on that fateful day was the only Jewish engineer at Chernobyl. His coworkers were not in the shielded room with him, so they died while he survived
