"Do it to all of them !". "Why would you want to do that...anything rational?

"Prosecuted" becomes "Persecuted" when a particular race, religion, or ethnic group is singled out for attention I'm well aware of what persecution is and it's clear that the Israelis are not being singled out and persecuted. The fact that many of them, going by the reports, appear to be operating illegally does not give them the right to claim persecution.

I know that, tell the other posters that don't.

He was just living in a nice place illegally trying to earn an income.

It sure looks that way, doesn't it? Since when is prosecuting those operating blatantly illegally persecution?

Seems like the Israelis operating illegally are being justifiably prosecuted in Thailand now.

Agreed...and showers have to be taken whilst wearing underwear in Klong Prem.

How have immigration rules for the "decent ones" who comply with the regulations got "more and more tough"?

Why doesn't 'French nationality' suit you? Everyone knows what you mean.

He actually had death reduced to 40 years!

They do not, it is all voluntary, no one is forced or intimidated to fight.

No, it's not "important" at all, in fact it's irrelevant, the fact is he will be removed from the country regardless of the word used describing that action. Having said that, how do you know that the South Korean authorities had not requested his extradition as the article suggests by reporting that he will be extradited after the Thai legal process?

Crazy indeed, absolutely crazy. Incarcerate them and confiscate their assets without any legal process giving that authority? Nuts.

So? "French Arab" is not a nationality.

Following a number of previous incidences such as this one, it has been reported several times that not only the foreigners are prosecuted but also the Thai nominees and the agents who set up the companies. If you actually have evidence of the double standards that you claim, maybe you could be specific about them?

No, I haven´t. Are you going to post that comment to everyone that mention such conditions, or am I singled out? No, don't flatter yourself, I'm not singling you out. I'll make my comments to anybody I choose who makes inaccurate assertions about those situations.

Well, you said it, I'm sure you would.

Read again. I quoted your words, you said new and secondhand items and that, clearly, includes new items, from B10 which clearly, includes new items at B10! But it's ok, I realise that you were just making up an exaggerated story.

You seem pretty well-informed, so how do they get treated in Thai prison showers...have you ever been there?

"I have seen...new to second hand clothes of all types. Imported from other countries, including the US, and from 10 Baht" New, imported clothes for B10? Not a chance.

Really? Where is that mandated?

You had to wear a pair of shoes that was two sizes too small? I don't think so, if the shoes were really two sizes too small there's no way you would have been able to put them on.

Really? from where? I'm assuming that you mean trousers and shoes, yes?

She wasn't acquitted on a technicality, she was acquitted due to lack of evidence!

Well, to quote you, that would be a "complete knob" assumption on your part. I'm not the one who came up with the "complete knob' assertion, I was quoting another poster.
