The article is IMO misleading (not that surprising considering Breitbart reputation). The shroud has been considered a fake many times - Bishop Pierre d’Arcis of Troyes was already doubting its authenticity in 1389.

From what i've managed to understand - there was a carbon dating attempt in the 1988 - which had to be limited - since cabon dating is a destructive process. The above mentioned study (published in Herittage in 2022) is using Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering which seems not that suited for dating, but has some advantages - much smaller size of sample and ability to test the sample repeatedly. What the study really says is how the shroud would have to be stored before it arrived to Europe in order to look today the way it looks:

The experimental results are compatible with the hypothesis that the TS is a 2000-year-old relic, as supposed by Christian tradition, under the condition that it was kept at suitable levels of average secular temperature—20.0–22.5 °C—and correlated relative humidity—75–55%—for 13 centuries of unknown history, in addition to the seven centuries of known history in Europe.

Also - unsurprisingly - there is no mention of an AI powered reconstruction in the study.

I meant

Depending how the Maldives is doing this (is it based on Israeli Citizenship or is it based on Israeli Nationality?)

It's in the article - passports!

It doesn't make any difference, since because there really aren't any supporters of Israel in this thread, you will just open on anyone you assume is one with walls and walls of text (with which I mostly agree with you) but on a topic nobody put forward and in this condescending manner that is just meant to offend people. You haven't tried to understand my argument at all, you haven't even read the bloody article, you just want to scream at somebody.

So since you are this terrible at reading - let me put it again just for you and you only, I'll try to be blunt:

The tragedy here is that Israel says in response to the 7/10 that all Gazans are guilty, they all deserve to die. That is not acceptable, that is called collective punishment. And Maledives are justifying Israels approach by doing the same. Now Israel can say:

" Look ! Maledives are also using the same principle of collective punishment / collective responsibility and the World is praising them! "They are all antisemites and they are all using "special meter" on us and different meter on everyone else:". /s

...and what is worst - in this case they have a point! This exactly what we don't need right now. They could have just banned the settlers, or they could have just banned those several settlers Biden has banned and that would be perfectly fine. This is clumsy at best - no - It's just tragically stupid. It's costing us time that Gazans don't have.

I would like to point out that for some time I've felt bad for also wrongly accusing somebody without reading it all ironically also in regard to the Gaza conflict, but you are so much worse than I am.

Please read the article.

I expected to get downvoted, I got downvoted, I am not angry. Reverse psychology? Manipulate? Are you 100% sure you are not talking about yourself?

Nobody is saying we’re going to block the Palestinians from traveling anywhere. Only the perpetrators, not the victims.

Well that is pitty, because they've just blocked 2 millions of Palestinians living in Israel proper - Demographics of Israel, wikipedia

South Korea or Brazil also doesn't have regular citizens? How about Switzerland? List of 85 countries that had mandatory military services in 2023.

IMO the equivalency is in how you've chosen those individuals that don't deserve to live / that are no longer allowed to enter...
