Blasting Israel, kowtowing to Xi, Sanchez shows human rights hypocrisy

Already one of NATO’s worst allies, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez can now add “master of hypocrisy” to his political biography.

Consider Sanchez’s push Monday to have the European Union join Spain in suspending a free trade agreement with Israel. Sanchez said the EU had to act “once and for all” because “everything suggests” that Israel has engaged in systemic human rights abuses in its Gaza and Lebanon military actions. Everything does not suggest nearly as much. However, Sanchez’s policy here is in contrast to the one that he applies to China.
