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.
