Maldives will ban Israelis from entering the country over the war in Gaza
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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Banning someone from your resort island is the same sort of punishment of civilians as killing them?
It actually is the same sort of punishment, yeah - the difference is one of degree. Kicking you in the shin once and punching you in the face fifty times are both "assault". It's concerning that most here don't understand that.
You still haven't addressed that 'blanket ban' thing you said. After lamenting the poor quality of discourse.
I like how you completely dodged what I just said. What is there to address about the blanket ban? A country is banning all travel from another country. It doesn't get more "blanket" than that.
Wow dude, you just keep saying dumb things
Ah, and now the dishonesty. That is not what people mean when they say a blanket ban on travel and I'm sure you're not stupid, so you know that.
There's a reason that the AP article linked above doesn't use that term in this case.
What is there to address about the blanket ban?
I don't know, how about something like, "okay, I didn't mean 'blanket ban,' that was wrong of me."
But, of course, this is the internet and admitting your wrong is the worst thing ever, so I won't be holding my breath.
Haha what? They're banning all Israeli passport holders. Do you have some special definition of "blanket ban" that you manipulate to suit your purposes?
Called it.
Uhh yeah OK, congrats on winning this argument based on your made-up definition of "blanket ban". Go ahead and celebrate with Donald Trump, who wanted to enact the same against muslim-majority coountries.
What are you even talking about?
You linked me to a page where the word 'blanket' is never used?
I mean you could have done a quick control-F like I did...
Here's one on the same topic with "blanket": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769
What definition of "blanket ban" are you using here? This is a pretty good one, I think:
A ban that applies to or affects all or the majority of a given class of people or things.
