Thousands of people have gathered today in the Market Square of Gernika (Bizkaia) - the same place that was bombed by nazis in 1937 - to show support to Gazan people and condemn that what Israel is doing to them is what nazis did to Basque people way back then.
December 8, 2023 - Hundreds of people gathered in Guernica, Basque Country, to form a human flag in solidarity with the Palestinian people, as air raid sirens filled the air.
The town of Guernica became symbol and a rallying cry against war crimes and the slaughter of civillians after German and Italian planes bombed the town for Franco's fascists in 1937, during the Spanish civil war, killing hundreds of innocent civillians. [video]

It amazes me how the fascist propaganda about Gernika being a center of the resistance instead of a rural town full of women, children, elderly, and wounded - men were fighting in the mountains - is the version that has survived internationally.
I hope that a century from now the story that will be told isn't that Gaza was annihilated because it was a huge center of islamist terrorism.
