Ban on Israeli surfers in Maldives backfires after Jewish apartheid state turned out to be home to two million Muslims

“The biggest concern is that there are many Palestinians with Israeli passports, millions of them. What happens if we impose a blanket ban on them?”

In an unsurprising move last October, surfers from the Maldives called for an immediate ban on Israelis following Hamas’ terror. massacre of 1200 Jewish civilians.

No sooner had the sexes’ limbs stopped shaking than an open letter was posted by the Maldives Bodyboarding Association.

“Maldives Bodyboarding Association and the entire surfing community strongly condemn and demand an end to the inhumane and unjust actions carried out by Israel against the Palestinians.

“We request the government of Maldives to enforce a ban on the entry of Israelis into the Maldives. We also ask the government to continue all efforts aimed at stopping Israel’s inhumane actions and showing solidarity with the Palestinians. We call on the Maldivian government to help the Palestinians in all possible ways.”

The reactions were unanimously positive.

“The Maldives have always been a favorite destination for us Arabs, and now even more so. Thank you for this noble, humanitarian stand.”

“The life you stole and the land you ILLEGALLY annexed from the Palestinians. Live what is left of your stolen land and life, because the Palestinian cause will only grow stronger and you will be held accountable.”

The Maldives was one of the few Muslim countries that allowed the Jew in; Israel was one of the first countries in the world to recognize the tiny state when it shook off British rule in 1965.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t a hard line.

The Maldives prohibits any public practice of any religion except Islam, and if you are not Muslim you cannot be a citizen.

When ISIS was still big news, the Maldives “gained notoriety as a haven for jihadist recruitment” as locals flooded into Iraq and Syria to join the big boys of the jihadist game.

After the glorious, religion-fueled carnage of October 7, the government of the Maldives came under immense pressure to ban Israelis.

It took a while, but just as the ban was about to go into effect, the attorney general said, oh oh, What about the Arab-Israelis?

“The biggest concern is that there are many Palestinians with Israeli passports, millions of them. What happens if we impose a blanket ban on them?”

You see, about two million, or almost a quarter of the Jewish state is Arab, most of them Sunni Muslims and most of them Israeli citizens.

Anyway, if you think the Maldives is a benign paradise, then yes, well, No.
