We are at the Madrid airport waiting for our EL AL flight to Israel. We were warned not to come to Spain due to rampant antisemitism. In 4 days here I saw 1 Palestinian flag and 1 woman with a watermelon pin. Nothing compared to the public Israel/Jew hatred in Toronto.

I used to live in Madrid. People are, generally speaking, quite politically moderate Biggest protest I saw was on International Women's Day. And it was majority professional women But other parts of Spain, Catalunya and Andalucía in particular, are aggressively anti-Israel
