“Moderate” Malaysia expands ban on Israeli athletes, banning all Israeli nationals from events it hosts

15

These are the “moderates.” Morocco, like Malaysia and Indonesia, is widely touted as a “moderate” Muslim country, where none of the “extremism” that reigns elsewhere can be found. And yet they are banning Israeli athletes from an upcoming Paralympics swimming qualifier. When have we ever seen a Muslim country act in a normal way toward Israel? Ever? Muslims, “extremist” or “moderate,” march in lockstep on that issue (and so many others). Why? Malaysia is half a world away from Israel. The idea that it has some grievance against it is absurd, except for one thing: Islam. Islamic Jew-hatred: it’s in the Qur’an.

“Mahathir’s Malaysia bans all Israeli nationals from events it hosts,” by Tashny Sukumaran, South China Morning Post, January 16, 2019:

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s government on Wednesday defended its hardline anti-Israel stance as it declared it would not budge on banning Israeli athletes from an upcoming Paralympics swimming qualifier despite facing criticism for that stance.

Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, met in his ministry by local groups lobbying for the Israeli athletes’ ban, said the government would refrain from hosting events featuring Israeli participants in the future.

The minister said the decision – made by cabinet last week – was premised upon “humanitarian reasons” and was about “fighting on behalf of the oppressed”.

Media reports this week had quoted the International Paralympic Committee criticising the Southeast Asian country’s strict stance on not admitting Israeli athletes, though the organisation said it was holding out hope for a solution.

The event, the World Para Swimming Championships, is to be held in July and is a qualifying event for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.

The episode showed Mahathir’s eight-month-old government is standing pat on past administrations’ policy towards Israel…..

Should this not ensure that MY gets no further events from international sporting organisations?

Just another example of the religion of peace at work. Rotten, goat humping, stone aged assholes. Screw islam, its prophet, the child molester, and its moon god who barks hatred from hell. I hate islam and the followers of this disgusting cult.

Humanitarian reasons, oppressed?
The citizens, atheists, clitodirectomized & raped girls & tortured prisoners in Fatah’s tyranny are oppressed while Israel is a place of refuge.
Just look at for example Saudi Arabia where atheists are killed, girls clitodirectomized & Africans enslaved.
Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed today in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).
Trump could expose that in social media by seizing Twitter from Saudi Arabia for example but he’s more in line with selling weapons to Saudi Arabia & saying “Why is she insulting everybody?”, when talking about Pamela Geller.

If Malaysia won’t relent, the Paralympics should move the event and other world championship events should not consider Malaysia (or Indonesia or Morocco) anymore as a host. Holding it in China might be a compromise. This is also why after the 1974 World Cup, Israel switched to UEFA for precisely this reason.

Ban all athletes from malaysia from any and all events around the world.

No, since international sporting competition is supposed to be above politics. That leads to a slippery slope.

Muslums “fighting on behalf of the oppressed” makes about as much sense as nazis fighting for democracy, liberty and equality.

Unlimited hypocrisy is one of the tenets of Islam. The International Committee should simply move the event from Malaysia.I am sure Singapore, Taiwan or Hong Kong would welcome them.

Israel has two choices. Either put up with the BDS crap and all of the rest of the fallout or throw every single Muslim out of the country, suspend relations with its neighbors and be prepared to go to war. You cannot negotiate with the Muslim race. It is their overriding religious mindset that Jews be exterminated. Take monsters like Louis Farrakhan at their word. Jews are termites, not Semites.

Excellent, they prove that Allah is not the same god as the Judeochristian God. Vatican II and main stream Protestant churchers are deceiving their followers.
