Reply to comment by [deleted] in Banksy's migrant rescue ship seized by Italy's coast guard in Lampedusa by Crimbobimbobippitybo

Leaning into the right wing narrative I see. There's little to no evidence that supports the assertion that rescuing people results in worse outcomes. To say otherwise is simply justifying callousness to the plight of these refugees.

Furthermore, something like 90% of sea rescues in the Mediterranean are done by the Italian and Maltese coastguards. The NGOs are not actually all that relevant. The reason Italy is making their job harder is domestic political posturing.
