(Jewish Group)Spanish politician criticizes 'the Jews' for how 'their government' treats Palestinian
A Spanish politician said Jews should be held accountable for supporting a government that constantly violates the fundamental rights of Palestinians.
Sonia Vivas, a member of the Podemos party and a city councillor in Palma, the capital of the eastern island of Mallorca, made the remark on Wednesday during a meeting on international aid, triggering immediate accusations of anti-Semitism by a rival politician, El Mundo reported.
I havent spoken to all the Jews, but their government is elected and theyre voting for a government that constantly violates fundamental rights of Palestinians, Vivas said.
A journalist covering the meeting asked Vivas whether she meant to speak of Jews or Israelis. Vivas did not respond directly, saying: You didnt understand me because you dont want to understand me. My explanation was clear and comprehensive.

Yeah, she's misunderstood.
Maybe she has some Jewish relatives she can trot out.
