@MarioNawfal Maimonides would be calling you an idol worshiper Mario, ur calling him a great philosopher?
F.Y.i Maimonides referred to Jesus as a false prophet and an imposter.
“SPAIN SHOULD RETURN CEUTA TO MOROCCO.”
Sure. Let’s start the clock in 711 and see who owes who:
In 711, a Berber commander named Tariq ibn Ziyad crossed from North Africa and landed in Spain. His launch point was Ceuta.
Within seven years almost the entire Iberian Peninsula was under Arab occupation, governed from Damascus. By 732 the Arab raiders were even at Tours, deep inside France.
Taking it back took 781 years: Covadonga 722. Toledo 1085. Lisbon 1147. Las Navas de Tolosa 1212. Córdoba 1236. Valencia 1238. Seville 1248.
Portugal finished in 1249 when Faro fell. The Portuguese-Spanish border has barely moved since and is one of the oldest continuous borders in Europe.
Castile and Aragon needed another 243 years. What was left was Granada, which survived from 1238 mostly by paying tribute to Castile and waiting out Christian civil wars.
Here is the part none of those “Ceuta is a Spanish colony” shills talk about:
In 1415 King João I of Portugal sailed across the strait and took Ceuta from the Marinids in a single day. One of his sons was Henry the Navigator. The Age of Discovery starts there. So Portugal was conquering African soil while European soil, less than 300 km to the northeast, was still under Muslim rule.
Boabdil, the last Nasrid Sultan of Granada, handed the keys to the Alhambra to Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile on 2 January 1492, marking the end of nearly eight centuries of Muslim rule in Iberia. Later that same year, the Catholic Monarchs issued the Alhambra Decree, ordering the expulsion of Jews who refused to convert to Christianity. Coincidently, 1492 also marked the beginning of Spain’s rise as a global power, ushering in the Spanish Golden Age.
For context and scale: the First Crusade began in 1096. That is 385 years after Spain was invaded. Anyone who starts this story with the Crusades is starting in the middle.
Also, Spain never conquered Ceuta. In 1580 the Portuguese royal line died out and Philip II inherited the throne. When Portugal broke away again in 1640, Ceuta chose Madrid. Portugal formally ceded it in the Treaty of Lisbon in 1668.
TL;DR:
– Ceuta has been in Iberian hands since 1415. 611 years, uninterrupted.
– Spanish since 1640, by treaty since 1668. 386 and 358 years.
– Morocco independent in its current form since 1956. 70 years.
Ceuta was Roman, then Byzantine, then fought over by Visigoths, then taken by Arab armies around 710. It has never been part of an independent Morocco.
NOT ONE SINGLE DAY.
Before anyone calls Ceuta a colony, explain what was founded in Andalusia in 711. Go ahead. I’m waiting.
🇺🇸🇲🇦 Trump just sent King Mohammed VI a letter reaffirming U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara
and directed his teams to expand economic development there, in energy, AI, critical minerals, and defense.
The timing isn't subtle. This lands just after 60,000 people breached Ceuta, and a week after a Massie-triggered fight over Congress backing Morocco's "longstanding claim" on Ceuta and Melilla.
Trump didn't mention Ceuta once. He didn't need to. Publicly deepening the US-Morocco partnership right now says plenty on its own.

The US and Israel now recognize Morocco’s control of Western Sahara, just days after migrants coming from Morocco overwhelmed the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in North Africa.
Commentators note that America and Israel seemed poised to support Morocco, a recent Israeli ally, against Spain due to the latter’s support for Palestine. The speculation follows that mass migration is being weaponized, in part due to Spain’s amnesty, to make a point about support for “the West”, with Israel being seen as an intersectional issue.

Don’t fall for the fake Fox/GOP outrage. Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion.

@camhigby Ok so? Conquering is based and is what caucasoid class humans do.
Arabs, north africans , whites all classify as caucasoid and are the only conquering nations on gods green earth.
Most people dont want to hear this but its historical reality.
Cam ur a simp for jews btw F-U
What’s happening in Morocco is 100% an Israeli psy-op
Don’t forget Morocco is a client state of Israel
All of this is to weaken Spain
May Allah bless and guide the Spanish President and the resistors to oppression
