To 🇺🇦 supporters: #ParlCH starts discussing re-exports to #armUkraine this week.

Opposing it:

1. #Isolationist CH-first #SwissPeoplesParty #SVP. May respond to threats e.g. on arms industry.

2. #NonViolenceCult|ists in #TheGreensCH #SocialDemocratsCH. May be more amenable to moral arguments.

Both sides invoke some military all-cases "#neutrality" in its pre-UN, Hague 1907 version. Neither is short of shaky reasonings and alternative facts.

#Gandhi: "It's OK to #ArmUkraine "

> I'd rather smilingly and cheerfully march into Rushist fire — and be blown to bits.

> But if you have less faith in my doctrine #satyagraha, then fight. Cowardice is worse than violence.

> I can't coerce you into the path I would choose.

Freely extrapolated from a self-contradictory corpus. Reading N.Finkelstein's https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/gandhi/

So even #nonViolenceCult|ists with a taste for self-sacrifice can agree not to block #armsExports to #Ukraine !
