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.
That’s called collective responsibility and won’t help a single Palestinian.
Collective responsibility for collective actions. The Israeli population is more unified in their hatred for Palestinians than Germans were in their hatred for Jews. Israel needs to be stopped, if necessary by force.
Riiiiight, because Israel has totally been leaving civilians alone when fighting Hamas.
Take a fucking walk.
You don’t have to leave moral behind just because your adversary does.

Collective Responsibility is what Israel has been arguing to justify violence against Palestinian civilians for literally decades.

So you’re calling for an antisemitic genocide?

Im Jewish and I would absolutely support not only a complete and total withdrawl of recognition of Israel but also an absolute blockade.
There is already an antisemitic genocide going on in the region. Palestinians are Semitic people.
I know what you’re referring to, but this is not how the word “antisemitism” works. The word antisemitism was derived from pseudoscientific racial theory that called Jews “Semites” because the thought that Hebrew were semitic people and Jews were the worst within semitic people.

Well, Palestinians are free to visit Maldives whenever they like and even get a complimentary souvenir magnet. Better?
I’m not sure what you expect tiny countries to even do apart from symbolic gestures.
