“The foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one obvious reason: the Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace.”
El País said the Danish-flagged ship was carrying 27 tonnes of explosive material from Chennai in India to the port of Haifa in Israel.”

It’s for you to think why they aren’t telling you; and for you to decide what to do about it. 😐

Nitin Pai (nitin@thinktanki.social)'s status on Saturday, 11-May-2024 12:34:49 JST Nitin Pai Ukraine abstained on Palestinian statehood, understandably on grounds of its national interest.
That should end the debate on whether any country ought to support Ukraine as a matter of principle.
(We are clearly in the world where power and interest trump principle and norms. We are in this world because the West undermined the liberal international order.)
