MINIVANNEWS.com (http://bit.ly/1oLaqkl) reports that the decision to evacuate the Israelis was made after authorities received word that many anti-Israeli protesters were en route to the island from Malé after news spread that the Israeli surfer had destroyed the placard bearing a swastika alongside the Israeli flag.
Island Council President Ahmed Anees said, “Police intelligence said that more were coming from Malé.”
According to sources, the anti-Israel protesters were detained by authorities until all the Israelis were evacuated safely.
Who would ever think that on the usually peaceful Maldive Islands, such anti-semitism would take place? These same protestors NEVER condemned Syria, Iraq, and Libya for their atrocities against civilians. It this isn’t a double standard, I don’t know what one is.
good move by the authorities
When you read history on WWII and Jews were killed. The followers of Herzl said that the reason of the killing is because they are like Gypsies they don’t have there own state. Should they have there own there be no antisemitism in the entire world.
Then Zionism made that case in the UN and the Jews got Israel that they call the Jewish state and now see the results.
Really a shame…the Maldive Islands are among the most places on earth…
So instead of dealing with the “protesters” they throw the innocents out…. this world is becoming more and more dangerous with each passing day…. acheni kol beis yisroel…. hamokom yerachem Aleiham….
