Shocking Antisemitism in Spain: Three Elderly Jewish Women Expelled from Reina Sofía Museum for Carrying Hebrew Symbols

A grave incident of alleged antisemitism has occurred at one of Spain’s leading cultural institutions, the Reina Sofía National Museum of Art in Madrid. Three elderly Jewish women, tourists from Israel, were reportedly expelled from the museum by an armed security guard simply for carrying items bearing Hebrew symbols.

What Happened: Discrimination in a Public Museum

The victims were three retired Israeli women visiting the state-funded museum, accompanied by a Spanish woman who recorded the incident on video. According to reports, museum staff confronted the group and, with the involvement of an armed vigilante (security guard), forced them to leave the premises solely because of visible Hebrew lettering and Jewish symbols.

The Reina Sofía Museum, which houses world-famous works such as Picasso’s Guernica, operates under the authority of Spain’s Ministry of Culture and is financed through public taxes. This makes the incident particularly alarming, as it involves personnel of a government institution.

Political Context and Rising Concerns

The current Minister of Culture belongs to a far-left party that is part of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s governing coalition. This party has been openly critical of Israel and maintains strongly anti-Israel positions, which critics argue contributes to a climate tolerant of antisemitic acts.

Spain has witnessed a significant increase in antisemitic incidents in recent years, particularly following events in the Middle East. Jewish communities and advocates highlight that such discrimination in public, taxpayer-funded spaces represents a dangerous escalation.

Calls for International Action

This serious act of racism against elderly tourists demands immediate global attention. Anti-racism associations and NGOs have filed a complaint against the security guard involved.

The Spanish government must launch a full investigation, hold those responsible accountable, and implement measures to ensure the safety of Jewish visitors in public institutions.

Antisemitism has no place in modern Europe.Jewish tourists deserve respect and security without exception.

SUITCASES FULL OF MILLIONS: Iranian Diplomats Smuggle Dirty Cash to Hezbollah Terrorists to Murder Israelis

Tehran/Beirut, February 12, 2026

The ayatollahs’ terrorist regime in Iran continues its cowardly funding of murderous proxies. An exclusive investigation by Iran International reveals how high-level Iranian diplomats exploited diplomatic passports to smuggle hundreds of millions in cash to Lebanon — all to arm Hezbollah terrorists who fire rockets at innocent Israeli civilians.

Suitcases stuffed with dollars: the blood money Iran uses to fund Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel.

The Abbas Araghchi Flight Scandal

On January 8, 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flew to Beirut. Photos from the flight show Mohammad Ebrahim Taherian-Fard — a veteran diplomat tied to the Quds Force terror arm — with a suspicious suitcase believed to be loaded with cash for Hezbollah.

These deliveries exploit diplomatic immunity at Beirut International Airport to bypass security checks.

Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport — the entry point for Iran’s cash deliveries to Hezbollah terrorists.

Diplomats Involved in the Cash Smuggling

European intelligence sources identify at least six Iranian diplomats who carried dollar-filled suitcases:

• Mohammad Ebrahim Taherian-Fard (70) — former ambassador, Quds Force-linked, photographed on Araghchi’s flight.
• Mohammad Reza Shirzadayi (69) — ex-consul in Pakistan, heads a company suspected of money laundering for Iran’s ministry.
• Hamid Reza Shirzadayi — his brother, longtime regime operative.
• Reza Nedaei, Abbas Asgari (56), and Amir Hamzeh Shirani-Rad — all loyal servants of the terrorist regime.

In October 2025, Ali Larijani allegedly smuggled another $300 million in cash.

What This Dirty Money Buys

This Iranian cash funds one thing: weapons for Hezbollah cowards to launch rocket barrages on Israeli cities while hiding behind Lebanese civilians. After Israel’s decisive strikes crushed Hezbollah in 2024-2025, the terror group desperately needs funds to rearm.

Conclusion: Iran Remains the World’s Top Sponsor of Terrorism

While the world imposes sanctions, Iran’s ayatollahs use dirty tricks like diplomatic suitcases to evade them and keep funding mass murder. Israel, surrounded by enemies, has every right to defend itself against this existential threat.

The story has been picked up by outlets like Jerusalem Post and Ynet. So far, the Iranian regime and its Lebanese puppets have no response to these damning revelations.

BNP Exane Integrale Scandal: From Iranian Terror Oil to Buried Bankruptcy in Switzerland

BNP Paribas has repeatedly placed profits above ethics and transparency. In 2014, the bank pleaded guilty in the U.S. to processing billions in illegal transactions tied to Iranian oil exports — helping finance regimes linked to terrorism — and paid a record $8.9 billion fine. In October 2025, a New York federal jury found BNP liable for complicity in the Sudanese genocide under Omar al-Bashir, awarding over $20 million to test-case victims after the bank facilitated sanctioned oil exports.

Now the same pattern of opacity repeats with the Exane Intégrale Fund — a UCITS-regulated vehicle managed by Exane Asset Management (100% owned by BNP since 2021). Marketed as safe with daily liquidity and strong investor protections, the fund suffered a total collapse in March 2020. BNP delayed full disclosure for over five years, quietly completing liquidation in Switzerland on July 24, 2025, with final payouts as low as 0.01 EUR per share.

The Official Swiss Liquidation: Pennies Returned

The public liquidation notice — published via the Swiss regulator platform on August 14, 2025 — confirms the devastating final values:

In March 2025, the Paris Court of Appeal upheld Natixis’s seizure of tens of thousands of documents from Exane AM premises.

From Iranian terror-linked oil and Sudanese atrocities to quietly burying a €165 million investor loss in Switzerland, BNP Paribas reveals a consistent pattern: maximum profit, minimum accountability. Retirees and institutional investors deserve justice and full compensation.
