Mahmoud Khalil is not facing deportation because he gave a speech. He was an active supporter of Hamas and his actions were a threat to Jewish students at Columbia. Trump Is Right to Deport Hamas Supporters Federal law authorizes denying or revoking the visa of anyone who supports terrorist activity. https://www.city-journal.org/article/trump-deport-hamas-supporters-visa-law

The pro-Hamas, I mean pro-Palestinian, students did NOT protest when Hamas attacked unarmed Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, killing children and the elderly, burning houses, raping women, etc. On the contrary, many pro-Palestinians praised or at least excused the attacks as "resistance.". And as @Nick Carter icp noted, there are several conflicts in the world involving disputes over territory that have caused more death, destruction and displacement than the Gaza war. Millions have died in Sudan and the Congo and tens of millions have been displaced, but the level of protest in the West is miniscule compared with anti-Israel protests. When was the last time you heard of a protest against civil war and the massacre of civilians in Sudan or elsewhere in Africa?

Any indication what nationality the foreigners were? That's the crucial question.

Yes, it does. All Western countries claim extraterritoriality when it comes to ch*ld p*rn and ch*ld pr*stitution. But as others have written, the laws tend to be lenient in Germany. In the U.S., the guy would get a minimum of 40 years and probably life.

Could be he's sexually omnivorous or at least likes variety. Sort of like the guys who ask about Black and Russian girls in Pattaya.

Maybe his mother should look for him in a pub, like Dublin's famous The Bleeding Horse? And if he's a fan of variety:

Seems like he was in the news a year ago: American student, 18, from Virginia is arrested in Thailand for 'sexually assaulting a pregnant horse https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13186893/American-student-18-Virginia-arrested-Thailand-sexually-assaulting-pregnant-horse.html Steven Lee Snyder, 18, from Fairfax County, Virginia, was allegedly seen on CCTV sexually assaulting the animal at a stable in Phuket, Thailand, on February 5 and again on March 10.

That's correct. Revocation of student visas and student status is an administrative measure at the discretion of the U.S. government. It's not subject to challenge or review in the U.S. court system. The government doesn't even have to disclose the reason for denying or revoking a visa. That's long-standing practice which has been upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court. Bottom line: the U.S. government can revoke a student visa and order the removal of a foreign student for any reason it chooses. The U.S. has 1.2 million foreign students enrolled in its educational institutions. Every day it orders the removal of dozens, if not hundreds, of foreign students for violating the terms of their student visa. Foreign students must agree in writing to respect the laws of the U.S. as well as the rules of the institution where they are enrolled. They are free to take part in political demonstrations, but any illegal action would be grounds for visa revocation, whether in connection with a demonstration or otherwise. That is great news, but hopefully just the start. Considering Columbia has $5 billion in government grants, only about 8% has been cut. Columbia's total endowment in 2025 is $14.8 billion. Columbia deserves to have funds cut as the admin refused to take action in response to blatant harassment of Jewish students. The best news is that ICE agents have arrested Mahmoud Khalil and the government is taking steps to revoke his green card. Khalil was the leader of the anti-Israel protests at Columbia and is the best-known Hamas supporter in the U.S. He's also openly antisemitic. The Trump admin went after the top shark and not a small fish in the pro-Hamas pond. https://apnews.com/article/columbia-university-mahmoud-khalil-ice-15014bcbb921f21a9f704d5acdcae7a8

I heard about the theory of a base on Mars in the 1930's serial, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars. Dr Zarkov explained it, so it must be true. And when I lived in Pattaya, I was certain some of the ex-pats I met came from the planet Mongo.

Dementia often causes aggressive behavior, especially when coupled with alcohol. From what I saw while living in Pattaya, some older ex-pats of all nationalities appear to suffer from age-related dementia.

The crime is not just holding a flag. As the OP explains, the intent to "harass, threaten, or intimidate" is what makes it criminal. My bold text. The text of the NY state law that is being amended to include terrorist flags: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/240.31 The national flag of Palestine would NOT be forbidden under the statute, only the flags of terror groups like Hamas or Hezbollah displayed with the intent to intimidate others. There have been cases where Palestinian supporters have waved terror-group flags in the faces of Jews or in front of synagogues. They already have been banned: NY Gov. Kathy Hochul bans the Confederate flag, other hate symbols on public property New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation Tuesday barring the display of symbols of hate on all public property and equipment after a fire truck decorated with a Confederate flag sparked outrage last year. https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/2021/anna-m-kaplan/ny-gov-kathy-hochul-bans-confederate-flag-other-hate

Self-defense is an accepted defense at trial under Thai law. Sections 67, 68, and 69 of the Thai Criminal Code deal with self-defense, with Section 68 stating "such act is a lawful defense." https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-criminal-liability-sections-66-72/ Unfortunately the unofficial English translation of the Thai Criminal Code is very clumsy with some laughable mistakes, i. e., what should be "guilt" or even better "guilty" is given as "quilt." The Thai laws on self-defense are similar to English common law and modern U.K. criminal law. The test in both countries is that acts taken in defense against imminent danger are "reasonable" and "proportionate." This is different from the U.S., where 11 states mandate a "duty to retreat" before deadly force can be used in self-defense; 38 have "stand your ground" laws which don't require an attempt to retreat; and one state and the District of Columbia have a "mixed" law, with a duty to retreat under some circumstances and stand your ground under others.

Pro-Palestinian groups in the West have at protests been calling for a ceasefire in Gaza since Oct. 8, 2023. Now that Hamas has rejected an extension to the first phase of the earlier ceasefire agreement, I wonder if these groups will continue to demand a ceasefire? It ain't the Israelis who are saying "no" this time round.

Was it this T-shirt? Or one of these? I remember there was some controversy when a Thai artist designed and sold these T-shirts.

That's a decent price for a 24" all-in-one Lenovo with those specs. It certainly has a strong enough CPU and sufficient memory for ordinary home use. It's easy and cheap to add more memory if you need it. As long as you're not trying to play the most advanced games or edit videos in 4k, you should be fine.

Yup, last I heard.

Wow! I think your Hungarian friend may have moved to Jomtien. He's famous for using that strategy to get working girls at rock-bottom prices. I could name him, but I don't want to gab or someone might flame me.

The hakenkreuz (hooked cross) of Nazi Germany is never worn or displayed by Thais or other Asian people to represent the swastikas of Asian religions. The hakenkruez and images of Hitler on clothing are due to Nazi chic fashion style rather than agreement with Nazi ideology. Because the Holocaust is not taught in Thai schools, few Thais, even university students, are aware of it. Hitler and the heads of WWII Japan aren't regarded as war criminals but are seen as opponents of the British, French, American and Soviet "empires."

She has also revealed she's been diagnosed with autism (Asperger’s syndrome).

The mildest thing I could say is that Thunberg may be going to great lengths to conceal the extent of her support for Hamas. She caught a lot of flack from within the climate-change movement because of her enthusiasm f or Hamas and borderline antisemitism. She could have dispelled all doubts and suspicions by condemning Hamas, but she didn't do that. If she doesn't agree with Hamas' terror attacks, why wouldn't she say so? The public has the right to hold the head of a political movement to a more rigorous standard of transparency than that to which a man on the street would be held.
