Italy announced a few days ago that it will no longer be allowing boats to discharge people, nor will it be rescuing them if set adrift or if they dump their people into the sea. Maybe they got wind of this threat. In either case, just in time.

Greece has had the same policy. I asked a friend who comes from a small island in the Adriatic why Greece’s islands are not be targeted like Italy’s. Because we don’t want them, he said. Simple as that.

The problem of course is that the would-be migrants are lied to. The traffickers take their money and guarantee a safe passage and then set them adrift, abandoned. Sometimes pointed toward the shore where they can do a lot of damage.

It would be a shame to lose Santorini.
