Scratch A Barcelona Socialist, Find An Antisemite

Barcelona has a rather long history of antisemitism, which can still be seen in its buildings today.

From the attack on the Jewish Quarted of Barcelona in 1391; to the massacre in 1349 when Barcelonians decided to attack Jews blaming them for the Black Plague; to the attack and destruction of the Jewish Quarter in 1391 when at least 3,000 Jews were killed, to the expulsion of the Jews in 1492 and then the Inquisition as well.

So it's always interesting to see the rulers of Barcelona return to their historic trends.

Barcelona City Council is apparently working on a resolution to "un-twin" Barcelona from Tel Aviv in the name of social justice and BDS. How soon Barcelona forgets Tel Aviv standing by Barcelona after the 2017 ISIS terorist attack, or this is simply another example of Barcelona showing the terrorism works.

We'll note the Barcelona City Council is run by The Socialist Party of Catalonia and the Barcelona en Comú party which has a "social justice" theme. Progressives/Socialists as antisemites? Well, no surprise there.

Sadly not surprising at all.

Israel Day 6 - Shopping and Strolling In Tel Aviv

The next morning we got up and went strolling about Tel Aviv.

We started off going to an artisan's market.

It was quite a bustling place with lots going on:

Glass crafts made right in front of you:

Portraits:

Neat crafts, again made as you watched:

And as in any market, a t-shirt seller. I particularly liked the black t-shirt with the white Hebrew writing on it there:

Don't read Hebrew? Well, just click to embiggen, and then turn your screen upside down for an instant translation.

Also by the market were some chess tables setup for people to have fun and play:

We then did a little shopping and purchased one of the best dairy products made, ever, anywhere:

Mocha Milk!

It's Coffee, it's Milk, it's life-changing! It's flipping amazing!

Did I mention Mocha Milk is really good? 'Cause it really is.

We had lunch, relaxed, and then headed to the beach.
