I wish the reason was: you have a genocide problem. Sort that shit out and come back to us.

That would have been great.

Thanks for that. Admittedly I'm not an expert on the situation at all.

Do you reckon that was one of the main reasons it didn't pass? From what I saw there were more local issues like fishing rights as one for example.

No, I think you're right. The reason it didn't pass had nothing to do with that. I'm just saying that I wish the EU got a moral critique instead of an economic one for a change.

Yeah I agree with that too.

Like I said I'm mostly ignorant to a lot of the nuance around the entire mess, but it seems like Israel has been playing a very long game. Or a few simultaneously.
