UCI on TwitterIsrael on Sunday lodged a formal complaint with Spain, charging that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are being instilled in elementary students across parts of the country. The Israeli embassy in Madrid has received dozens of postcards addressed to the Israeli envoy – from students ages 5 and 6 – including hand-written messages such as “Jews kill for money,” “Evacuate the country for Palestinians,” and “Go to someplace where someone will be willing to accept you.” According to sources in the Foreign Ministry, this is an organized campaign by officials outside the education system in Spain that have been given permission to work with the students.The Foreign Ministry had originally planned to summon the Spanish envoy to Israel, Alvaro Iranzo, to rebuke him.However, in an effort to prevent a diplomatic crisis, the ministry decided instead to discuss the matter with him via telephone. Naor Gilon, the Foreign Ministry's deputy director for Western Europe, spoke with Iranzo on Sunday and said, “Israel feels strong discontent over the postcards sent by school students and views the matter with utmost gravity.” The Spanish envoy explained that the postcards were a private initiative, and not one that is part of Spain's education ministry. Gilon said Israel understands this is not a government policy, but stressed that these types of initiatives have no place in schools and that Israel requests action be taken to have the campaign stopped.

This is outrageous as they don’t realize who their friends are and who aren’t. It does fall in with end times prophecy though. It upsets me everytime I see something denigrating Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. It is depressing to see how misled and uninformed so many people are.
Will you stop with the prophecy nonsense. If the future is preordained and therefore can be predicted,where is personal responsibility?Do you really think you were preordained to write the comment above? And if it is all scripted what’s the pont of prayer or do we do it because we are puppets;
just little Ipods playing back what was programmed into us.
Did we forget Isabela Catilica, the catholic Queen of Spain who threw out the Spanish Jews in 1492. Why are we surprised?
Please, please please. journalists at Haaretz, Jpost or any other source. Do an investugation of this. Who are those 5-6 year-olds? Are they real? Are they 5-6-year-olds? Are they Spanish? How many are there? Who stands behind them? Who stands behind those who stand behind them? What is going on here?
Others, please don’t rush to accuse the Spanish.
I have a feeling this is not Spanish, but Arab.
I have to agree with Jean Terry!
It`s very sad, as the days get darker we have to console ourselves with the fact that Jesus is coming soon!
The news is fulfilling prophecy daily and we must keep ourselves close to the Lord!
I have nothing to moderate,but thank you for asking.
