Morocco Learns: You Can Condemn Genocide And Still Take The Tourist Dollars
The New Arab notes that despite widespread public anger over Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Morocco, a signatory to the Abraham Accords, is quietly ushering Israeli tourists back in. This 'outrage' conveniently lasted just long enough to generate headlines but not long enough to actually disrupt normalization efforts driven by strategic interests—like the US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty
over Western Sahara—a direct result of the Abraham Accords brokered under a previous US administration. The economic incentives, it seems, always outweigh the ethical quandaries when the global powers are involved in drawing up the peace. So, the 'outrage' is now just... a bit of turbulence? How many civilian lives equal a single tourist flight? The double standards are palpable, revealing that
diplomatic boycotts are often mere performative theater until the box office opens again.
