[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Arabs protest photo exhibit of Sephardic Jews in Morocco

Last night a photo exhibition opened at the Instituto Cervantes in Tangier, Morocco, teaching the history of Jews in Morocco who were expelled from Spain in 1492, concentrating on those in northern Morocco.

Naturally, Arabs protested.

If stepping on an Israeli flag shows disapproval of Israel, what does this show?

The interesting thing  is the reasons they gave for protesting.  They can't say "we hate Jews" because the official Arab line is that they have no problem with Jews. So they protested by saying that a Spanish cultural center hosting an exhibit on Spanish Jews in Morocco is a form of - normalization with Israel.

The protesters noted that the exhibit was sponsored by a group called Sepharad Israel which is - shudder -Zionist!

They also heckled the police who stopped them from shutting down the cultural center by saying that they were allied with the Zionists.

Some idiots will, of course, believe them when they say that their motivation is pure anti-Zionism and nothing to do with centuries-old antipathy of Jews in Arab countries.
