    You are defending willful negligence that leads to the deaths of migrants.

    Up to 1 in 13 migrants die in the Mediterranean. Italy as well as Greece have been allowing migrants to die as a part of deterrence-based migration policy. Rescuing the passengers of capsized migrant vessels has been criminalized. There are plenty of articles that confirm these facts. Here is one example.

      I am not defending that, I am arguing against a claim. Being on the right side of an argument doesnt allow anyone to make up or exaggerate facts.

      While I agree with your statement, there is also a difference in how awful we are, between allowing capsized vessels to just take their course and if we deliberately throw migrants overboard, as this post says is happening in Greece.
