Israeli Paralympic Swimmers Denied Entry to Malaysia for Worlds

Israel’s Paralympic swim team will not be permitted to enter the country of Malaysia for the World Para Swimming Championships in July, YNet News reported.

Malaysia’s official religion is Islam and it is the latest Islamic nation to deny entry to Israeli athletes by denying the entry visas.

The results of the world event will factor into qualifying for the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo. More than 600 swimmers from 70 countries are expected — but now, not Israel.

The directors of the Israel Paralympics Committee have tried to involve the Sports and Culture Ministry, in an effort to obtain visas, but have yet to receive a response, YNet News reported.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-
