Barcelona pulls public service marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day in protest of Israeli offensive in Strip. ‘Marking the Jewish Holocaust while a Palestinian Holocaust is taking place is not right,’ says official

The Gaza campaign has inflamed the already pro-Palestinian public opinion in the northeastern Spanish region, and the local media has run endless stories comparing the Israeli stance on the situation in the Strip to Nazi atrocities.
