Colombia and Spain Anger Israel by Condemning War Crimes in Gaza
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro triggered a diplomatic row with
Israel after comparing its assault on Palestinians to Nazis during World
War II - a comparison that has also been drawn by progressive Jews who
have spoken out against Israel's actions.

Meanwhile, Spain has rejected Israeli claims that two of its lawmakers
are aligned "with ISIS-style terrorism" because they called for Benjamin
Netanyahu to be brought before the International Criminal Court for
committing war crimes in Gaza.
