I joined them for Yom Kippur services at the recently re-opened temple in Barcelona. It had already been defaced with a painted swastika, and across the street a poster depicting Hitler as a knight on a white horse killing a dragon representing the soon to be voted on constitution. There is no question that the far right in Spain was historically and down to the present time virulently anti-Semitic.

It should be noted that Jabotinski is a hero of the right-wing in Israel (there's even a medal in his name) and that the now-dominant party is a direct descendant of his black-shirted gangs that, under British rule in Palestine in the 1930s, launched attacks on trade unions, Yiddish-speakers and Palestinian Arabs. It was the Jews in the IB, whatever their specific number, who upheld the honor of the Jewish people. Their spirit of inter-nationalism (the significance is in the hyphen) will, one hopes, lead to the eventual two-state solution in Israel-Palestine. ¡Salud!
