Naturally, Arabs protested.

| If stepping on an Israeli flag shows disapproval of Israel, what does this show? |
The interesting thing is the reasons they gave for protesting. They can't say "we hate Jews" because the official Arab line is that they have no problem with Jews. So they protested by saying that a Spanish cultural center hosting an exhibit on Spanish Jews in Morocco is a form of - normalization with Israel.
The protesters noted that the exhibit was sponsored by a group called Sepharad Israel which is - shudder -Zionist!
They also heckled the police who stopped them from shutting down the cultural center by saying that they were allied with the Zionists.
Some idiots will, of course, believe them when they say that their motivation is pure anti-Zionism and nothing to do with centuries-old antipathy of Jews in Arab countries.
