Are you seriously suggesting that the brutal attack on Israel on 7October 2023 was neither carried out nor supported by Palestinians ?

Are you seriously suggesting that the attack was not known about/warned about before

it happened and then allowed to happen with hours long delayed response to the happening ??

It's as if there's an endless parade of people who have not done their research, have not done their homework, don't have any idea what the real issues are, and just simply resort to juvenile memes to describe someone who's critical of extremist Israeli policy. It's almost as if they're a hired spoke person for AIPAC, shooting off that nonsense and always equating criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews. That is the very definition of ignorance.

Yeah so disagreeing with your vile inflammatory hateful rhetoric means a person is ignorant. Sure thing boychik

Also straw man garbage.

An Israeli mother, 62, and her 23-year-old daughter were seriously injured in an alleged assault on Koh Pha Ngan after a man asked where they were from and was told they were Israeli.

The suspect, who holds a French passport, was later arrested after allegedly becoming involved in another violent incident. The women said they believe the attack was connected to a discussion about the war in Gaza.

Attack followed question about Israel

The mother had travelled to Thailand for a two-week visit while her daughter was already travelling in the country. They rode a motorcycle to a waterfall on Koh Pha Ngan and parked near the road before walking about 100 metres towards the site.

They were buying a coconut when a man on a motorcycle stopped behind them and began talking to them, the mother told Ynet from her hospital bed.

"He asked my daughter where we were from, and she said Israel," she said. The man then challenged them over the war in Gaza, telling them: "I don't like what Israel is doing there."

The mother said she told him they were on holiday and did not want to discuss the issue. He replied, "I'm against violence," before the exchange ended.

Moments later, she said, the man called to them from above, came down towards them and attacked. "Out of nowhere, he started beating me viciously and bit my ear," she said.

Her daughter tried to protect her and was also beaten. The mother said she was struck on the head and apparently lost consciousness.

Both women needed surgery

The daughter ran towards the road to get help and called out to two French women. The suspect chased her, according to the mother, but fled on his motorcycle when he saw other people nearby.

Police and an ambulance were called, and the women were taken to a hospital on Koh Pha Ngan. Medical staff decided both required surgery after a CT scan found bleeding in the mother's head, prompting their transfer by boat to a hospital on Koh Samui.

Their conditions were initially described as serious but later stabilised. The mother spent 24 hours in intensive care, while her daughter underwent surgery on her nose. The mother had surgery on her ear and said she may need another operation.

Arrest linked to separate incident

The mother said police later told them the suspect had gone to another town, caused a disturbance and attacked police officers. Officers did not initially know he was connected to the assault on the two women.

After police spoke with the women and the daughter gave a statement, they recalled the suspect's name. Police then identified him as the same man allegedly involved in their case, the mother said.

She said she had considered Thailand welcoming towards Israelis and had not expected such an attack. "We will learn not to say we are from Israel, because you can never know how someone will react," she said.

Israelis put surviving over being liked or understood.

I wonder if that "French" scumbag would have been similarly violent against two fit Israeli men of his age.

well, there IS that thing where these Gazans flew into Israel on homemade little motorized paragliders, and killed a whole buncha Israelis who were having a holiday celbration. That could motivate a government to do what it felt it must in order to prevent that from happening again. Just a thought. I know if that was me or mine that were attacked , I would do the same.

Well, they have little military to speak of, and no chance of hurting anyone besides their own neighbors, which would hurt them even more. Yes, sometimes those who take over are worse than the previous ones, but they also become targets.

Well, why is it that the USA sees the need for its major military presence, supplemented by the threat of Israeli air strikes then?

Yes, Irans conventional military hardware is reported as pretty much wiped out, but they do have ballistic missiles and drones which continue to do harm to their neighbors and potentially anyone else in the region who is within range. And by using them to keep the straits of Hormuz closed, they harm many many countries.

The nuclear program was supposedly obliterated prior to the current conflict starting. So were those statements true, or not? They were certainly made and an intelligence analyst was fired for contradicting them (reportedly).

To try and tie this back to the current topic, I think this all shows how the conflict in the region, Israel/USA, Iran/Hamas, is very very polarizing. There is very little middle ground and maybe that’s why the moron Frenchman attacked the two ladies.

On the other hand, he assaulted other people in the town including policemen, so maybe whichever country they said they were from, he would have used it as an excuse to attack them. Maybe, obviously I don’t actually know.

Self hating Jews are so very extra special.

Hating Zionists and Israel's actions are not the same as self-hate.

Straw man garbage

Also you're not a Jew so what woukd you know about self hating Jews.

The fact is Palestinians are neither liked nor trusted throughout the Arab world. Their main backing comes from the Iranian regime, with token support from some western interests
