> ❗️Spain and China move to deepen ties amid ‘crumbling world order,’ defend multilateralism over return to ‘law of the jungle’

Xi Jinping and Pedro Sanchez pledged to deepen ties during talks in Beijing, with Xi warning that “chaos abounds” and the international order is “crumbling,” and urging both sides to uphold the rule of law and “jointly defend true multilateralism” against a return to the “law of the jungle,” according to Chinese state media.

Sanchez said international law is being repeatedly undermined and called for closer cooperation to promote peace and prosperity.

The visit, Sanchez’s fourth to China in four years, comes as western governments seek to maintain ties with Beijing despite ongoing tensions, while also expressing growing unease over US policies. Sanchez said it is “more necessary than ever” to strengthen ties between China and the European Union and called on China to play a larger role in global issues including climate, security, defense, and inequality.

Xi also described Spain as a key interlocutor between Beijing and the EU, praising Madrid’s approach and calling for stronger China–EU ties to support global stability, while both sides emphasized cooperation based on trust, dialogue, and a move toward a more multipolar international order.

So Trump's just going to keep announcing his intention to breach international law and commit war crimes and the Republicans in Congress are going to continue to allow themselves to be complicit.

We’re going to need a bigger Hague.

Great replacement theorist and wanted war criminal #Netanyahu, at Yad Vashem: “Europe is infected with deep moral weakness”

Netanyahu spoke at the opening ceremony of Holocaust Remembrance Day at Yad Vashem, saying that “in the Holocaust we were a beaten animal letting out a cry of agony - and today we have a state stronger than ever, letting out a roar of power.” He then leveled sharp criticism at European states, saying that “Europe has forgotten so many things since the Holocaust. It, which swore after World War II to protect the good, is today infected with deep moral weakness. Losing control of its identity, its values, its commitment to protect civilization from barbarism.”

Who’s the barbarian?

The #ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on 21 November 2024, charging him with the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts, covering conduct from at least 8 October 2023.

As of April 1, 2026, nearly 72,300 Palestinians have been directly killed, with over 172,000 recorded injuries. Scholars estimate 80% of Palestinians killed were civilians, and a UN human rights study found that 70% of those killed in residential buildings were women and children.

The framing is very specific: it positions Israel as the defender of civilization against barbarism, which is a rhetorical move with a long colonial genealogy (the same logic used to justify virtually every atrocity committed by Western powers against non-Western populations.) The same logic the Germans (yes the same Germans now holding the EU back from forcing Israel to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and south of Lebanon) used to justify their own civilizational war.
