Pai Locals Raise Concerns Over Chabad House Amid Security Warnings
It's not a question of nationality but of religious identity. Chabad Houses are open to Jews of any nationality and about 5,000 of them are located in 100 different countries. You have to keep in mind there are only 15.7 million Jews in the world, with 7.2 million in Israel and 5.7 million in the U.S. That leaves the remaining 2.8 million spread pretty thin. In many countries and cities, the Jewish population isn't large enough to support dedicated synagogues or commercial outlets for kosher food. Chabad Houses are therefore needed in these areas to enable Jews, especially observant Jews, to worship and follow a Jewish lifestyle. The Chabad movement arose in the 1960s as travel to distant places became more affordable and popular. There are also Chabad Houses to assist Jewish students on or near university campuses. For those of you who like statistics, the world's 17.2 million Jews make up only 0.2% of the 8 billion total population. That compares with 2.4 billion Christians, 2,0 billion Muslims, 1.2 billion Hindus and 500 million Buddhists. With 60 million adherents worldwide, Voodoo has more than three times the number of followers as Judaism. Claims of Jewish influence or "dominance" are, shall we say, exaggerated. The incident with the misbehaving young Israeli men has taken a very nasty twist due to classic antisemitism. If young Irish or Italian men caused a ruckus, Thai authorities wouldn't respond by checking the immigration status of foreigners attending a Catholic church. Same-same with Scottish or Scandinavian young men and a Protestant church or young Indians and a Hindu temple. That would be unthinkable. But because some residents of Thailand, both foreigners and Thai, are infected with antisemitism, false Internet rumors of an attempted Jewish "takeover" of Pai gained force and led to a "raid" on the Chabad House. It's sad that sort of mentality and suspicion of Jews is still rearing its ugly head today. -
