    Would it have helped you if I linked directly to the 2017 section on that page?

      Why would an illegally made declaration of independence where not even the majority of the region wanted to secede have validity on the matter? Are you saying that the violence that the catalonian citizens suffered is the same as the mass murder Palestinians are suffering?

      I’m not saying that the way the government of the time acted was okay but for you to point at it and say hypocrisy when talking about what the current government says about the Palestinian genocide and their recognition as a separate nation, originally separate from Israel, is so fucking stupid, I’m sorry.

        The spanish authorities are still to this day persecuting catalan political separatists with full force, even though none of the separatists ever used force against Spain. There is a reason why multiple EU states refuse to cooperate with Spain on that matter.

        Palestine was never a nation, so it is in many ways a separatist movement (and a legitimate one IMO)
