Because this is what you guys always do when cornered with undeniable facts and irrefutable evidence. You throw a tantrum, insult and accuse people of being anti-Semitic.  Because that&#xB4;s how you been taught to react, or should I say brainwashed. Nobody denies that around 3000 years ago Jews lived and ruled in the Levant for a few centuries and one more time around 2000 years ago for a few decades, so yes call it your ancestral homeland if you want to.  But there is not a single international law that states this land belongs to you. Not even your own ancient inheritance law gives you any right to that land.  Now, if you feel this urge to throw your &#x201C;compliments&#x201D; at me and only the forum rules hold you back, then insult me in a PM, if it is any help to you. You have my word, I will not report you.  But never forget: There hasn&#xB4;t been a single mass murder event that went down well in history &#x2013; ever. While your generation, or let&#xB4;s say those in their 20ies up to those in their 50ies may condone or even support Israel&#xB4;s atrocities &#x2013; and from what I can see almost every Israeli does same as most Jews outside Israel being Zionists do &#x2013; the generation of your sons and grandsons will loathe you, be ashamed of you and spit at you.  I know, because that&#xB4;s what my generation did.  &#x201C;How could you start this war? How could you murder 10s of millions? Did you have no shame? Didn't you learn anything from the previous war?&#x201D;  In most cases they would just look down at their feet not daring to utter some kind of justification, yet occasionally you could hear something like: &#x201C;We had no choice. Our economy was at its feet. Only recovering from the war would have been more than difficult but we had to pay for the recovery of every other country too. Our children were starving on the streets. We had to protect our people, our very existence.&#x201D;  Which we immediately answered &#x201C;Don't you dare presenting us some of those Nazi lies. You murdered 6 million people who used to be your neighbors, your colleagues maybe even your friends, but you killed them anyway, didn't spare women and children. How could you do that? You are no heroes. You are the reason for the darkest and most shameful part of our history. You industrialized mass murder. Why are you still breathing? Why don't you just disappear?&#x201D;  And that's what they did. I remember as a kid I used to see quite a few of them, later in my teenage years there weren't many left until they finally vanished. Most of them had traces the war had left on them like missing limbs, some of them didn't but there was one thing they all had in common: they never looked up in the direction they were walking; they were always looking down.  And one more thing: I never saw them smile.</description><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 16:19:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How Did You Actually Make It This Long in Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395544-how-did-you-actually-make-it-this-long-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20528852]]></link><description>Just imagine where the world would be without towering intellects like yours generously raining down wisdom on the rest of us, despite our obvious unworthiness.

You can do better. To call my threads "meaningless" and "toxic", inspite of  questions that "move the world". You prefer that everybody opposing your views is an uneducated moron. What qualifies you to be above "uneducated morons"? No matter what the subject is. You know it all. Using insulting language to make your "meaningful- point". It is my opinion, that different views can be dispaiyed without using "foul words" and insulting linguistics .

Sometimes the process is the punishment. Going through an American airport is a humiliation ritual for a reason.  It sure increased the power of the state and has enriched companies who make the devices used in the process.</description><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 15:24:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Giving away crash helmets - is this a good idea?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395441-giving-away-crash-helmets-is-this-a-good-idea/?do=findComment&comment=20528839]]></link><description>A decent effort, kwilc.

What permissions does this app require?  What does it do, lurking in the background on your phone?  Does it log keystrokes and spy on you for the state?    No thanks, but we don't have a choice. Take the digital suppository or stay home. I never found it a burden to go to the consulate for a visa, nor to fill out a simple form whilst sitting on the plane or standing in line at immigration. A friend of mine made a mistake on his online application for a rich guy visa and lost &#xA3;300.

You resist the evidence that suggests there&#x2019;s a recognised pattern. You are addicted &#x2013; it&#x2019;s excessive forum use &#x2013; especially when it becomes obsessive, defensive, and all-consuming &#x2013; that is often linked to what&#x2019;s called compulsive internet use syndrome (CIU)... It&#x2019;s not about being &#x201C;interested&#x201D;; it&#x2019;s about being preoccupied: constantly online, doubling down, unable to disengage even when it&#x2019;s going nowhere.   Your arguments descend down endless &#x201C;rabbit holes&#x201D; that you claim as research; you compulsively gainsay any idea you have never considered, distrusting anyone outside your bubble &#x2013; you have a compulsive need to defend the indefensible the rather than analyse it   The internet hasn&#x2019;t created your mindset, but it has fed it. With you, algorithms, echo chambers, and constant engagement turn it into a loop: more time online &#x2192; stronger misguided beliefs &#x2192; more time defending them.   At this point, it&#x2019;s no longer about evidence or discussion. It&#x2019;s about the maintenance of your Dunning-Kruger-like beliefs and habits.   If you look at the topics you are replying to, your posts are always among the top responders, even more than the OPs' &#x2013; on this thread and on the conspiracy thread and several others &#x2013; so it&#x2019;s not just the one thread &#x2013; you are obsessively everywhere with deeply flawed and uninformed comments. The only person to exceed you is that weird neo-Nazi paranoid racist on ASEAN&#x2019;s sister forum   You should consider logging off for a bit to get some perspective and ask a simple question: Is this actually thinking &#x2014; or just repeating? Remember the definition: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."</description><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 15:10:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Launches Digital Immigration App to Speed Up Border Processing</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395627-thailand-launches-digital-immigration-app-to-speed-up-border-processing/?do=findComment&comment=20528831]]></link><description>I am confident your IO probably does not have "clue one" about the technology and rules that dictate 90 day online reporting, but since you have not answered any questions from someone trying to help you and who has successfully used online reporting since it became available ... signing off and wishing you luck.</description><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 15:10:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Australian Influencer Removed From Flight in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395625-australian-influencer-removed-from-flight-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20528830]]></link><description>Hate to break it to you but zombies are not real.
