Malaysia drew a line on Israel. Indonesia left Bali open

On paper, Indonesia is one of the last real holdouts against normalizing ties with Israel in the Muslim world.
Indonesia never made that same choice, and Bali is where you can see the cost of that most clearly.
One woman’s social media, once traced, shows her serving in the Israeli military before turning up on holiday in Bali.
Bali isn’t some side note in this story; it’s the whole point.
Indonesia had every chance to draw that line before Bali’s villa economy turned into a case study in how not to govern a principle.
