Spain also supported Hitler for a while, and then remained "neutral" while he ran through most of Europe, killing millions of Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, gays and leftists. If I read the news reports correctly, most of the terrorism is Spain is domestic strife, unlike the internalional terrorist organizations that killed, more that 4,000 in one day in New York. By the way, many of those killed were foreign nationals, including quite a few muslims, When you say that "assisting the Israelis would not be exactly like battling terrorism, it would be more alike to helping the Nazi forces which destroyed the Jew ghetto in Warsaw in WWII.," you are, in effect, incouraging the terrorists who pledge to kill Jews just because they are Jews.
