VIVA ESPANA!! BIG PRO-ISRAEL DEMO IN MADRID.

From Libertaddigital, via those stalwart lads at Muqata--translated excerpts provided by Jewish Odysseus:

Some 3,000 demonstrators gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in Madrid in defense of Israel, "against the lie and against terrorism"...Many of the demonstrators carried the flags of Spain, Israel, and multi-colored signs for peace.

Socialist Party assemblyman Juan Antonio Ruiz Castillo "read a declaration defending Israel, to which a group of the demonstrators responded, "Tell that to your boss." (Spain's President, Socialist Jose Luis Roberto Zapatero, long-time supporter of Arab terror from Baghdad to Gaza City.--J.O.)

The president of the Spain-Israel Solidarity Association, Fernando Alvarez...declared that, "in the Near East there is a European border, in which democracy is defended, and that's why we demonstrate here." Speaking about the [pro-Hamas] demonstration last Sunday, he said "It looked more like the slums of Khartoum than Madrid."

The legendary Spanish artist Goya created a fabulous image of his country as an awakening giant, preparing to shake off Napoleon's forces...Could this be a new moral awakening for Espana? Let us pray!

The Odyssey by Homer, Chapter 21:

For long Odysseus stood with the bow in his hands, handling it as a minstrel handles a lyre when he stretches a cord or tightens a peg. Then he bent the great bow; he bent it without an effort, and at his touch the bow-string made a sound that was like the cry of a swallow. The wooers seeing him bend that mighty bow felt, every man of them, a sharp pain at the heart. They saw Odysseus take up an arrow and fit it to the string. He held the notch, and he drew the string, and he shot the bronze-weighted arrow straight through the holes in the back of the axe-heads. Then as Eumæus took up the axes, and brought them outside, he said, ‘Thou seest, lord Telemachus, that thy guest does not shame thee through foolish boasting. I have bent the bow of Odysseus, and I have shot the arrow aright. But now it is time to provide the feast for the lords who woo thy lady mother. While it is yet light, the feast must be served to them, and with the feast they must have music and the dance.’ Saying this he nodded to Telemachus, bending his terrible brows. Telemachus instantly girt his sword upon him and took his spear in his hand. Outside was heard the thunder of Zeus. And now Odysseus had stripped his rags from him and was standing upright, looking a master of men. The mighty bow was in his hands, and at his feet were scattered many bronze-weighted arrows.
