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.

    Wow, the comments on that site are something

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

      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.

      Look mate, no hate, I’m European, as pacifist as it gets. My grand-grandpa helped the resistance.

      I would support bombing tel Aviv as a harm reduction measure. Country who practice collective punishment deserve collective punishment.

      Maybe seek asylum

      Have you heard of… Sanctions? It’s a tried and true way of putting pressure on hostile (and also genocidal) governments.
