23/01/2009 The Catalunya government has called off the ceremony marking the "International Holocaust Remembrance Day", which was scheduled to take place on January 27, in protest of the Israeli offensive on Gaza.
 
The Gaza war 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.
 
Over 30,000 people marched in Catalunya's streets in support of Hamas, during the three-week war, burning Israeli flags and handing out flyers threatening local pro-Israel journalists.
 
The overwhelming public support for the Palestinians has prompted the government to cancel the Holocaust Remembrance Day service. This was to be the only public event marking the day, and was scheduled to take place in Barcelona's central piazza.
 
"Marking the Jewish Holocaust while a Palestinian Holocaust is taking place is not right," a local City official told Barcelona's La Vanguardia newspaper.

This kind of thing must be done six million times around the world and we'll finally get somewhere in taking humanity back.
