There are synagogues in Thailand. I'm not aware of any ethnic Thai Jews though there are children of mixed couples who are. There are ethnic Chinese Jews and some have become Israeli. The Chinese government doesn't recognize them.

They stole Gaza? They actually left Gaza long ago. This current war was clearly started by Hamas when they committed the worst massacre of Jews since the holocaust.

Like a very badly behaved toddler.

You do you.

It's nothing like the trans debate. Of the Jewish peers I grew up with I don't even remember one that kept Kosher. In other Jewish communities everyone does.

Since you are so interested in Jews you might consider learning some basic things about them. Jews are an ETHNORELIGIOUS group. Different than Christians and Muslims. A person is a Jew by being born to a Jewish mother. Like a tribal thing. Practicing or not is irrelevant. Have you heard of secular and cultural Jews? Yes it's possible to convert but Jews don't push it and it's quite an ordeal to do so. Judaism is a religion true. But Jews are also a people and non religious Jews are still Jewish people. If it offends you that Jews have this difference you won't be the first and tough cookies.

When the Hamas terrorist scum was looking to murder Jews they didn't ask first if they keep Kosher.

Non practising Jews are still Jews.

Funny. If that was the case you'd think Israel would have long ago gotten rid of its population of 20 percent Arab citizens. The same Arab citizens that would rather stay living in Israel. But you keep spreading your lies.

Obviously not.

If you like Islamic extremist genocidal terrorists who want kill all Jews, end Israel, and establish an ISIS like caliphate.

After October 7, Israel has no choice but to go to war.

It would be good to hear if the Israeli employers have a problem keeping things together at this time. Many in the south have been murdered by Hamas terrorists or have close friends or family who have been murdered. There is now the biggest call up of reservists in Israeli history which has happened. Maybe things are so far from normal that paying anyone their regular salary is a problem at the moment. Of course workers in this situation should probably be repatriated. That's also a problem in a time of war. I'm not sure about how many missiles are still coming in from Hamas now, but I do know they are coming from the North. It's of secondary interest to the world at the moment but with all those Israelis mobilized in such a small country and not working their regular jobs, naturally the Israeli economy has been hit hard.

Nothing like a bit of racism to spice up the discussion.

Perish the thought!

They signed contracts, didn't they?

Not very diplomatic. Thais have been murdered and taken hostage by Hamas. Not the best time to cause friction with the Israeli government when they have a war going on on possibly three fronts. In the context of inviting genocidal war criminal Putin (who has sided with Iran, North Korea, and Hamas) to Thailand to have a friendly visit. Nothing wrong with advocating for these workers but the optics of making this a public spat at this historically difficult time in Israeli history doesn't make sense.

If Israelis weren't Jews, but another flavor of Arabs, this conflict would barely be in the news at all.

i'm easily amused. One time I dumpster dived an item from there for myself. A huge fake houseplant. Gotta act quickly. Don't dawdle! I have wondered why they threw it out. Does it have cooties?

I just leave stuff in the trash area of my condo and I make a sport of seeing how quickly things get snatched up. One time a maid was there and I handed it directly to her with a thank you.

In any case, the most powerful Arab in the region at the time, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, spent the war in Berlin and met with Hitler to get the promise from him that he would exterminate all the Jews in the Middle East after he got through with doing so in Europe.

Not only possible, but expected. Par for the course from the Israel demonization brigade.

You can't win with this one. Thailand is home to me and I have no other. But to immigration I'm a glorified tourist on a short leash. To anyone else that asks here and I say my Thai place, the answer is usually seen as rude or cagey and the implied reaction is always where is your REAL home f-rang!

You've got to be kidding, gaslighting, or both.

The real Cassandro.
