Malaysia bans Israeli owned and linked shipping citing ‘cruelty against the Palestinian people’
Malaysia bans Israeli owned and linked shipping citing ‘cruelty against the Palestinian people’
Malaysia’s government announced Wednesday that it was imposing a ban on all Israeli owned and flagged ships, as well as any vessels headed to Israel, from docking at its ports.
There is a reason the BDS movement is banned in many states: it works. Good on Malaysia for doing this.
49To be clear, Malaysia is a horror show when it comes to minority rights and only doing this because they hate Israel because they hate Jews. If Malaysia could look past their hatred of Jews they'd be able to see the commonalities they have with the Jewish-supremacist state of Israel.
Not all of your enemy's enemies are your friends.

Its plain and simple antisemitic in this instance. They didn't do this against Russia – who treats the Ukrainians similarly, but without even the slightest reason. They only do it against Israel.
If you use this tool against all human rights violators, I wouldn't complain. But if you only use it against Jews/Israel? Seems to be personally motivated and not for the cause.
-11If Israel was treated equivalently to Russia they would've been under heavy sanctions from pretty much everybody by now, given that just in the first 2 weeks of bombing they murdered several Buchas worth (plus a couple of Mariupols) of civilians.
If there is one thing this situation made clear to most of the whole World when put side by side with the Russian invasion and the reaction to it, is the profound hypocrisy and even racist-genocide endorsing spirit of several self-proclaimed freedom-loving nations, especially the US, Germany and the UK.
19They didn’t do this against Russia – who treats the Ukrainians similarly
I mean, Israel has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years.
If anything, comparing Israel to Russia should be reason to chastise the states that still do business with Israel.
But you don't see that, do you? It's just 'antisemitism'?
P.S. Good job doing your part to make that word even more meaningless.
18I think the people who downvoted you don't actually understand that this is really Malaysia being antisemitic. This is a country (my country, mind you) that has a term for the Jewish Agenda (Agenda Yahudi), and thought that the vaccines were haram because the Jews were purposely putting pork serum into it.
I'm against Israel as well, but you'd think people would have some nuance when discussing topics like these.

Why isn't OPEC imposing sanctions on Israel, refusing to export oil to them, like the US did with Japan in 1941.
20Because they don't care. Money is more important to them than religion.

fuck yes dude let's go
19The WW3 prologue is getting really weird
17I think if we keep in mind all nations are shit and trying to do the same thing then we can realize that it's best to avoid conflict wherever possible.

4So you have to be innocent yourself proven before the world wide courts and intenrstional public opinion before making statements against apartheid and genocide?
Oh wait. What about America. Why are you, presumably an American concerned about Jews so much who are living in Malaysia ?
If you can be concerned about minorities in Malaysia, why cant they do same for palestinans ?
