minus-squareTΛVΛR@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoYou’re right, I recant. I doubted if he was willing to do that but OP swayed me. Melenchon is not saying “I’ll help Gaza” (my argument was that he could’ve done so in easier ways if he really wanted to) …but “I protect my citizens even if they want to help Gaza”. Weaker morally, but doesn’t come across as an evil trick anymore (but as a good trick)
