Sorry @heissenstat - this “take” is not only off, it is quite clear that you are not dealing with the actual policy debate.

Since you appear on/listen to the @GreekCurrent, it is easy to detect that the #NoJetsForTurkey campaign IS NOT aiming for a “full break” with 🇹🇷, NOR does it present a laundry list of “vague” demands. Also, you’ll hear us quoting @stevenacook’s description of “Neither Friend Nor Foe,” so your charge that the campaign is just tagging 🇹🇷 as an “enemy” is similarly way off.

“Politics stops at water’s edge” is a famous saying in 🇺🇸 foreign policy. Clearly this is NOT a principle for SYRIZA.

When I studied in the U.K., I enjoyed hearing people refrain from calling b.s. on specious arguments and analyses and using the epithet “rubbish” instead.

This analysis by @FT qualifies as “rubbish”. Let’s count the reasons why: 1. Let’s start with the overly simplistic premise of the whole analysis, the alleged “Dash for Gas”. @FT should have just asked @ntsafos to turn this tweet thread👇 into an opinion, because what its team produced falls into the “neat, simple, and mostly wrong” category

Today is a dark day in human history.

Some describe the 46 year occupation of #Cyprus as a “Frozen Conflict” but that is neither an accurate nor an honest description.

Cyprus’ occupation is an ongoing crime, a crime in which too many have served as accomplices of #Turkey. Today, we do not simply “commemorate” a historic event - we bear witness to one of the longest standing war crimes (and one of the longest standing issues before the @UN Security Council: a sovereign member of the UN (and EU member) remains occupied and forcibly divided.
