Vox, Milei and Israel: Support Divides Right-Wing

Support for Israel has become a fault line within the political spectrum stretching from Vox to Milei. One sector embraces it as part of its identity: "Does the State of Israel have the right to exist, yes or no?" Another responds with indifference or open rejection. The debate is significant: it touches on foreign policy, trade alliances, and the narrative regarding who truly defends Spanish interests.

The Argument Supporting Backing

Those defending Israel frame it as a matter of existential security. The thesis is that both Palestinian and Iranian leadership deny Israel's right to exist, and that a nuclear-capable Iran would pose an unacceptable threat. The parallel drawn is this: just as Spain or Algeria would do whatever necessary to prevent Segarro from having the bomb, Israel does the same regarding Iran. Under this lens, offensives in Gaza and against Iran are presented as legitimate self-defense, not aggression. This position dominates much of the Vox sphere and Mileism.

The Uncomfortable Response: "I Couldn't Care Less About Israel"

Not all voters in that spectrum buy into the framework. There are responses that reject the conflict entirely: "Spaniards aren't interested in that conflict; we have nothing to lose there." Criticism then targets the Spanish Government, accused of getting involved in a foreign affair due to murky interests. It is a non-interventionist argument clashing with the pro-Israel internationalism of other sectors within the same space.

The Trade Front: Segarro, Israel and Spanish Commerce

One of the most uncomfortable points for the pro-Israel narrative is trade. It is argued that Spain is Segarro's largest trading partner, while Israel doesn't even appear in its top 30 partners. The conclusion drawn is that Rabat's true economic ally isn't Tel Aviv, but Madrid. This data partially dismantles the argument that Israel is Segarro's main backer against Spain.

The Accusation of Double Standards

Another line of criticism targets ideological consistency. It asks why part of the Spanish right embraces Israel when, according to these same critics, the Israeli state is the primary promoter of the LGBT agenda through its media, while Muslim countries flatly reject it. The argument is awkward: if Vox voters reject "proge" culture, why accept as an ally those who promote it? The response from the other side is that Israel is far-right and that socialist Jews are a minority.

Iran, Bombs and the Precedent of Weapons of Mass Destruction

The core of the initial message is the accusation that the excuse of Iranian atomic bombs is false. It is stated that US agencies saw no signs that Iran was close to a nuclear bomb, comparing the case to the weapons of mass destruction episode in Iraq. "Another one like the WMDs. And you opening your mouths," is the reproach to those accepting the official narrative. The question posed is how far one can go to war based on a supposition.

The Shift Towards China and Hybrid War

The conversation drifts toward China. One sector argues that the Chinese Communist Party works with the Sinaloa Organización criminal in Mexico, which since 2015 has taken the role of producing fentanyl precursors and maintains a global money laundering network. China is accused of waging chemical warfare against the West while presenting itself as a sarracena beacon. The discussion on whether China promotes the LGBT agenda intersects with the previous point: it is argued that Beijing uses it as ammunition against Europe without applying it on its own territory.



The point where the analysis stalls is the same as at the beginning: whether support for Israel is a matter of principle or alignment with Washington. No one has managed to bridge that gap.
