minus-squarecybersin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoIs it really so different though? The outcome of both situations is the same. Migrants are dying, through direct action and deliberate inaction. Mediterranean nations have the opportunity to protect lives, but instead they choose kill / let migrants die.
minus-squareIsThisAnAI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoYes it is. Might as well start an invasion of half the middle east if inaction is the same thing as active murder.
