Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wins the internet this week with this striking characterisation of the wannabe dictator:

"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire, just because they show up with a bucket of water."

BREAKING: Israel's parliament has approved the death penalty BY HANGING as the default for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis

Meanwhile, multiple human rights orgs including Israeli orgs like B'TSalem confirm that Israelis kill Palestinians with impunity and face no accountabilty.

Bypassing Hungary to fund Ukraine proves one thing: the veto is a security threat. We cannot build European autonomy with Trojan horses inside our walls. It’s time to create legal mechanisms to expel states acting as foreign agents. Enough is enough.

Europe needs solidarity, not cheap copies of foreign populism that only serve outside interests.
