MALE, Maldives — The Maldives announces it is banning the entry of Israelis to the luxury tourist archipelago in “resolute solidarity” with the Palestinian people.
President Mohamed Muizzu ratifies the legislation shortly after it is approved by parliament today.
“The ratification reflects the government’s firm stance in response to the continuing atrocities and ongoing acts of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people,” his office says in a statement.
What? Now you punish people for something their government does? That doesn’t make sense at all.
Have you heard of… Sanctions? It’s a tried and true way of putting pressure on hostile (and also genocidal) governments.
Yes, sanctions are aiming for weakening the domestic economy, not forbid their citizens of free movement.

Like the free movement Palestinians have in Israel and the occupied territories? Maybe try some of your medicine. Also, surprisingly, you do not in fact have the right to free movement to a foreign country, which will probably surprise you given Israelis routinely hold pogroms in the West Bank like they own the damn place.
Ask the Palestinians how that feels?
Any of them rich enough to vacation in the Maldives are rich enough to have left and divested of the place
