Abstract:
The first aim of this work is the analysis of the image of the conflict between Israel and Palestine in the newspaper of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) Mundo Obrero, and in its theoretical organ Nuestra Bandera, from the Gulf War to the present day. Since the return to parliamentary democracy in 1977, the Spanish left has been increasingly critical about Israel’s policies, and sometimes of Israel as a nation. Although a secondary global power, Spain hosted in 1991 the Conference for Peace, prior to the Oslo Accords of 1993, with the intent of normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab nations. The study investigates the connection between anti-Zionism, intended as criticism of Israel’s policy, and the aversion of the Arab world to accept the existence of the State of Israel.
