BREAKING: ISRAELIS DETAINED IN MALAYSIA 🇲🇾
Yesterday, four young Israelis, including two women, were detained in the antisemitic country of Malaysia while on a connecting flight to the Philippines.
The Israelis were taken into custody solely because of their nationality. They ultimately chose to return to Thailand, where they had come from.
In another case, two Israeli men were detained in Malaysia while traveling from Cambodia to the Philippines. They were held for two days and eventually deported back to Cambodia.
Malaysia is the same country that banned Israeli athletes from a Paralympic competition because of their identity, and the one that has repeatedly supported Hamas.
Ambassador Hazan urged Israelis not to travel to Malaysia, not for a visit and not even for a layover. “We never know if we will succeed in securing the Israelis’ release, and it is not a given when we do. There are Israelis who have gotten into trouble.”
Forbidding Jews and Israelis to enter your country because of their religion is not a criticism of Israel, it’s pure racism and discrimination.
