Greece Remembers Migration, Forgets Who Starts Wars
The report details 17 people found dead, two survivors clinging to life near Crete. A chilling headline, neatly packaging the latest symptom of a global crisis. But missing from the narrative is the direct line connecting Western foreign policy—specifically, the endless interventions in the Middle East and North Africa—to what becomes a 'migration crisis' in the Mediterranean. Countries like
Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan—all destabilized by NATO actions, proxy wars, or arms deals—are the wellsprings of this human tragedy. So, while Europe wrings its hands over boats, perhaps it's time to remember who provided the match that lit the fires these people are fleeing. We’re presented with the corpse count, but never the cause, lest the architects of these displacements be required to
take any responsibility beyond sending thoughts and prayers, or perhaps, louder border patrol sirens.
