US envoy raises antisemitism concerns in Thailand

A senior US official has expressed concern about what he called rising antisemitic rhetoric in Thailand after recent protests in Bangkok and Phuket targeting Israeli visitors and Jewish activities.

Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the US special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, said the US State Department was maintaining close contact with Thai authorities to ensure protection for the Jewish community during the holiday season.

"I am deeply concerned by rising antisemitic rhetoric in Thailand," Kaploun wrote. "The State Department remains in close contact with Thai authorities to ensure that the Jewish community is protected during the holiday season."

Concerns follow Bangkok and Phuket protests

Kaploun's comments followed protests directed at Israeli visitors and Jewish activities in the two Thai destinations.

In Phuket, a demonstration took place near the Chabad House, a centre used by Jewish residents and travellers. A planned Rosh Hashanah gathering there was subsequently reportedly cancelled because of security concerns.

Holiday gathering cancelled in Phuket

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and forms part of a period of important religious observances. The cancellation of the planned gathering in Phuket highlights the immediate effect that security concerns can have on community events, even where no wider changes to travel or immigration rules have been announced.

Thailand is a major destination for Israeli tourists, as well as foreign residents and visitors from many backgrounds. Chabad houses in tourist areas can serve as places for worship, community events and practical support for Jewish travellers.

The State Department's contact with Thai authorities indicates that the issue is being monitored at diplomatic level following the recent protests.

Before I get into the nitty gritty of this thread, I have to say some of the posters on AN remind me of the Red Queen and her race. They have to run as fast as they can to stay in the same place.

“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

- Lewis Carroll, Alice through the Looking Glass

Quite a few countries find it necessary to have a special envoy or equivalent official to keep a eye on antisemitism. The leaders and people of these countries recall what happened when antisemitism was allowed free rein in Europe in the 1930s and 40s. It wasn't just 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust; an estimated 5 to 11 million non-Jews were killed as well.

The following is a list of some of them. @connda Are you now amazed time 30?

When you need to have so many high-level people keeping an eye on people hating you, maybe you should consider the possibility that you are doing something to make people hate you?

In addition to their current genocide in Gaza, are you aware that your fellow Jews (in the name of Bolshevik communists) killed tens of millions of Russian and Ukrainian Christians? And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Theyve been trying that for 80 years .

There can be no compromise when they both want the same thing ,

Both sides want Jerusalem as its capital and neither side will concede to the other

It will end badly for both sides then.

The claim that Jews, acting in the name of Judaism or as a collective group, killed tens of millions of Christians through the Bolshevik regime is a false antisemitic conspiracy theory known as Jewish Bolshevism

The notion that communism was a Jewish plot first appeared during the Russian Civil War (1918–1922) in the propaganda of the anti-communist White movemen

In the 1930s and 1940s, Nazi Germany heavily promoted the myth of "Judeo-Bolshevism" to portray Slavs as being controlled by Jews and to justify the invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust.

Really? I beg to differ:

Were they killed because they were Christian?

Jews are NOT collectively responsible for the horrors of the Russian Revolution and Stalinist era any more than Christians are collectively responsible for the murder of millions of Jews and non-Jews in the Nazi-led Holocaust.

Nor were the followers of Shinto or Buddhism collectively responsible for the murder of millions of civilians in Asia by the WWII Japanese military. Muslims today aren't responsible for what was history's greatest genocide, the slaughter of tens of millions of Hindus during the conquest of India.

The article to which @BangkokHank linked in his comment states, "The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and 'Soviet people.'"

Some Russians with Jewish ancestry were indeed responsible for the deaths of millions of their countrymen, but they were acting as Bolsheviks and Soviet officials, not on behalf of Jews and Judaism. In fact, thousands and thousands of Jews were purged and killed in the Russian Revolution and under the Soviet governments of Stalin

Evidence that they were killed for being Christian and not for being anti-bolshevik?

Other question: did Jews represent the majority of Bolshevik leadership and troops?

We don't know for sure it was in the Chabad. Some Thai sources say it was a business. It's curious none of the pics include the rabbi who runs the Chabad.

Why don;t any of the reports include info about who the guy was>

Do we really need to go through all this again?

I've posed several times questions and scenario's you've choose to deflect into whataboutory, I give up, have it your way, everything is sweetness and light and there is nothing to worry about.

let's see what happens next week after the inspections on permission to use the land, building permits and commercial permissions connected to businesses operating within Chabad Patong.

Christian Russians were killed by Jewish Bolshevik Communists. Of course the Christians were anti-Bolshevik - They were communist Jews killing Christian Russians. (Anti-Semitism was punished by the death penalty. That should tell you something.)

Regarding your second question: Over 80%.

  1. The Russian population at that time was overwhelmingly non-jew (Jews represented 0.12% of the population), so no wonder the victims were Christian

  2. You made up that 80% number. I asked my AI:

    Leadership: Jews were visible but a minority.

    Example: 6 of 21 Central Committee members in 1917 were of Jewish origin — not a majority. Party membership: About 4–5% of the Communist Party in the early 1920s was Jewish. Troops (Red Army): The Red Army was overwhelmingly Russian, Ukrainian, and other Slavic/peasant recruits. Jews were a tiny fraction of the rank‑and‑file.

I smell an antisemitic rant....😃
