Pattaya police only have self-interest in pursuing criminals. If there is nothing in it for them or if apprehension of a criminal presents difficulties or requires solid police work, they retreat into their gold jewellery and watches and the security that sitting on their bum upstairs at the station provides.

Why not report your suspicions to police?

I think extradite is the word you are looking for rather than deport.

Say no more!

It's simple enough for me. I don't even think of anyone living outside of Israel when I express my dislike of the manner in which the Israelis treated the Palestinians prior to Oct 7 and disgust at their actions subsequent to that date. However if you are Australian you'd be right in suggesting that anti-Israel and anti-Jew sentiments are for many, including it seems the government, one and the same thing. When you kill 47000 people including a large percentage of innocent children, you have to expect some hatred to come your way. Trump's purchase of Gaza and rebuilding plans with full support of Netanyahu are only going to drive a lot of frustrated anti-Israel sentiment further underground as reasonable options to disagree or protest are driven underground.

'Used to' being the operative words. Though personally I couldn't care less that a 4 or 5 days a year are alcohol free. I just drink at home.

Yeah I read it that because she was swimming naked she got what she deserves. Weird times.

How do you know that those people who criticised Israel's actions against Gaza have not also criticised Russia's invasion of Ukraine or any other country in conflict around the world? I don't doubt that there are anti-semites hiding behind the 'cover of criticism', but far far too many people have been outspoken against and demonstrated against Israel's actions for them to all be anti semites. The anti semitic allegations have also been a convenient way for supporters of Israel's action to dismiss a lot of very valid criticism of that country, it's leadership and its actions.

First time I heard of it is what I said.

Too many goody two shoes, holier than thou types in SEA now.

It's not a case of living without alcohol but of drinking it in public. Sensible people stock up their fridge the night before and drink in their room or at home.

In the 2nd WW, I am sure that all Germans were lumped together in the same category and disliked because of the actions of their leaders, army and country. Lumping all Israelis together in this instance amounts to the same thing. Jews living elsewhere and not sharing the views of their country men are not part of that national group. Criticising Israel and Israelis if you object to their treatment of Palestinians is not anti semitic.

Not their fault that the Israelis have made it so damn easy for those who dislike them to criticise them.

I haven't heard anything similar about any of the groups you mention. Smoking cigarettes and weed in hospitals! First time I have heard that and not just one isolated case.

But it's not a small group - it's time and again according to hospital staff and obviously to the restaurant owners in both places who have banned them from entry. I don't want to hear a rebuttal from the Israelis as I wouldn't believe it. Their behaviour and sense of entitlement is all too well documented.
