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.

Maldives has more courage than all of Europe and Middle East combined.

The world is just standing by, allowing this terrorist colony to carry it's genocide under the tutelage of its rogue state sponsor the US and it's vassal states.

Israelis could have revolted but they stayed passive for years, passivility tolerating the wrongdoings of their government. This makes them responsible

Israelis are protesting for years you dumbo!

Unfortunately nothing changed, and Israel has doubled down. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Americans start to feel push back soon as well given Trump and Maga running towards fascism at break neck speed.

That doesn't mean they have any sympathy whatsoever to the plight of the Palestinians.

Lmao passively tolerate? That's the Americans; the Jewish Israeli public is an enthusiastic participant in all of this. They've always been enthusiastic participants in Israel's Lebensraum genocide project. I mean ask an Israeli about the Nakba, or better yet see what they did to Rabin.

Wow, the comments on that site are something

Is the TOI a credible source? I feel like it may be biased towards Israel

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nothing published in that colony is safe to rely on. The entire society is radicalised by Zionist extremism.

It is a pretty stark comparison to lemmy. I’ll never understand how people blindly support anything.

Wikipedia describes them as Centrist. This appears to be from their blog though.

Times of Israel has offered a third-party blogging platform since 2012 which allows writers who are not affiliated with the news site to publish online.

From the Controversies section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Times_of_Israel

The amount of genocide apologia in this comment section is insane

Suddenly I really want to go to the Maldives.
