Well, he isnt banning all jews, so I wouldnt go that far.
It sounds like the policy applies to citizens of Israel, not all Jewish people, so technically no, it is not anti-Semitic. However, there is precedent for using this type of language. When the Trump administration restricted travel to the US from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen in 2017, it was widely referred to as a “Muslim ban” despite targeting specific nations for political, rather than religious or ethnic, reasons. In my humble opinion, it was sensationalist language then, and it’s sensationalist language now.
Edit: I guess I probably need to explicitly state that this isn’t by any means a defense of the Trump administration or the Maldives government, just an observation on the similarities in the semantic debate in these two situations.
No. If they banned all Russians would that be anti-Orthodox?
Well let me put it to the test :
President Mark Rutte bans the entry of Iranien citizens to The Netherlands.
President Olaf Schultz bans the entry of Chinese citizens to Germany.
Well feel offended? You should …
