The Maldives government will ban Israelis from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over the war in Gaza.
How is this different from sanctions on Russia? Those mostly harm civilians, and are intended to create political pressure. There’s not much anyone can do to only harm Netanyahu.
Yes they do: quite a number of countries banned Russians from non-essential travel. That’s why there’s so many of them in Georgia and Serbia: draft-dodging isn’t essential travel, apparently.
Well you see, Sanctions are, well, Sanctions. And this? This isn’t sanctions. The Maldives are an Islamic Theocracy, and they already hate Israel for reasons that have nothing to do with this conflict. Not surprising that the Country that criminalizes being Jewish would expel Israelis.

As a Ukraine-supporter, I oppose most of the sanctions against Russia too.
How about sanctioning the Russians occupying Crimea?
I support forcing their soldiers out.
So you don’t mind the Russians that have moved onto land they stole from Ukraine?
not if they stole it.
Sooooo you support sanctions against all israeli colonists then? Aka all israelis.
not the ones who didn’t steal land or buy stolen land.
Though that might apply to those in Manhattan, California, and Australia.
