If we change the topic to "If Israeli's are blocked by Malaysia, should the IETF respond", this already happened.

The IETF did not meet there but there was no "IETF response", so why should the IETF respond in this case.  

draft-ietf-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process talks about selecting venues not about voicing opinion on any country policies.

We  should be active in selecting meeting venues and if people are banned from traveling to the USA or any other country, it may not be a meeting location based on draft-ietf-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process
