Following the unfortunate incident involving the deployment of unmanned combat aircraft and rockets from the Gaza Strip to attack Israel on 7 October 2023, the Royal Thai Government wishes to express our deepest condolences to the Government and people of Israel on the unfortunate loss of lives and injuries from this inhumane and indiscriminate act.

 

The Thai Government is deeply concerned with the safety of Thai nationals working in Israel who have been affected by such violent incidents.

 

Thailand calls upon all parties involved to refrain from any actions that would further escalate tensions and joins the international community in condemning any use of violence and indiscriminate attacks. We hope that the situation in Israel will soon return to normalcy.

Just like in Thailand? ????

incident ???????????????????????????????????????????????

I wonder though, if say 300 Thais will be killed, scored wounded, others kidnapped and 3000 rockets launched on to Bkk, would they also term it as "incident"? and as for escalations, oh boy, things are diffidently going to be escalated...

If Thailand had been oppressed by others since 1949, I'm sure they too would retaliate!

just imagine what would happen here if the khmer people in their millions suddenly set up camp inside Thailand and claimed it to be part of Cambodia...

 

 

I can just imagine if Thais had been working in Germany WW2 Thailand would send deepest condolences to Germany.

Shameful statement. Palestinians have the right to try to throw their oppressors out.

Could have been free in 1947 when Arabs were offered 47% of the area, they have preferred to attack Israel ever since

They are being oppressed by Hamas, not Israel

That was sweet of them to offer back a little less than half of what they stole.  Who could pass up that deal?

 

Natenyahu has joined the extremists and now there is virtually no hope for peace in that region. Most Jews around the world disagree with their policies. I find them atrocious and very racist. Israel cannot expect the violence to stop, until they develop a reasonable and humane approach. 

 

Thailand sends its regards. No surprise there. Have they even been sympathetic to the oppressed?

Nobody stole anything it was the UN's proposal as a solution to Arab opposition to Jewish settlers. Jews had bought land off the Arabs, they did not steal it

There is no place for any sort of extremism in this world. Yet, the people seem to elect people who are unhinged, power hungry and madmen. Or, they install themselves, or are selected by non voters, as is the case of Xi, and Kim and many others.

 

It is a clear view of a declining civilization. Perhaps, at this point I time, a very dark, but wise quote might apply. From True Detective, Season one. 

 

I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures what should not exist, by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory experience and feeling programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand and hand into extinction. One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

These are the people you are ignorantly supporting with a meaningless slogan:

 

Hamas was formed by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a transnational Islamist organisation founded in Egypt some 50 years prior with designs to create a state under sharia law.

Unlike you I don't bring religion or ethnicity into my arguments.

I simply state facts, regardless of where people come from or what they believe. 

 

The fact is that Jews are squatting on Palestinian soil without an invite.

 

The Palestinians don't want them there, its only the west who do.

WWII was a long time ago, the world doesn't owe the Jews anything in 2023.

 

Israel is a criminal settlement organized and funded by puppeteers in the west. There is no legal justification for this, and anyone who supports such a scenario also supports colonialism and forced oppression.

2 questions. 

1) How many acres did the Jews buy? 

2) When does land title come with a covenant for self government?  If I buy up a farm in Texas, does that give me the right to form my own gub'ment and kick my neighbors off their farms?

There were many. The PM, Paw Piboonsongkhram , was a friend of the Fuhrer and copied some of his Protectionis/Nationalistic ideologies. For example, he invented the 'food of the people' after Volkswagen, the 'car of the people'. This is named 'Phad Thai'. Also, the Thai Embassador to Germany was the last official 'visitor' the Fuhrer had.

This is a Diplomatic statement, Thailand doesn't want to take sides. Neither side is innocent here. Similar to the Ukraine/Russia war.

So what work were they doing and how many.

To be absolutely accurate it's the Arabs who settled in the ancient Jewish homeland of Israel, founded as early as 1100 BC.

You have no argument then as the root of the aggression by islamists IS religion. Muslims have continually rejected a 2 state solution since the 1930's as they only want one state- their own under sharia law (a Hamas aim). You appear to know only slogans and propaganda, rather then any real history of the area.

This is normal they've been fighting for decades.
