Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct


Recommended Posts

Being Israeli or Jewish does not equate with Zionism.

 

There are many many anti-Zionists in Israel and amongst the non-Israel overseas Jewish communities.

I agree it does not equate.

I am using the definition of Zionism to mean supporting the existence of the state of Israel (not necessarily their policies, many of which have obviously been horrible).

So in that sense the vast majority of Israeli citizens who are Jews are definitely pro Zionist.

Lower support with Arab Israelis of course and yes among diaspora Jews there is majority pro Zionist support but not at Israeli levels.

Cheers.

The figures speak for themselves.

What figures?   The figures put out by the terrorist organisation, Hamas - not differentiating between terrorists & civilians?

70% of the dead are women and children. With most of the children aged between 5 and 9 years old? Would you like to dispute that too?

@Centigrade32  I was responding to the use of "Palestine"  in a post that has since been deleted.   I wanted to  emphasize Palestine had never been anyone's homeland until 1988 when the PLO declared the state of Palestine,    It could have been their home region, but not their home country.

 

To discuss the entire background of the formation of the state of Israel- who owned what land when- is clearly off topic and I won't go there.  But it does give me an idea to start a thread about  who owned  land and lived in Palestine before 1948.  

 

Home region, but not home country? What is this play on words? They lived there, until there was a plan to acquire the land for the minority population to grow and gradually take over the land. This is the reality. No need for semantics.

It's not a play on words, but as you say, reality, not semantics.  A home region is a geographical area, while a home country is a political entity.  A person can be born and live all his or her life in North America, Southeast Asia or  Western Europe.  They can be correctly described as North American, Southeast Asian or Western European in terms of national origin, but they can't be citizens of any of the three regions because they aren't countries or other political entities which confer citizenship.

 

Same-same with Palestine and Palestinians.  Before 1988- go back as far in time as you want - people who were born and lived in the area today regarded as historical Palestine weren't subjects or citizens of any kingdom or country called Palestine. But you knew that already.

 

In the later half of the 19th century and first two decades of the 20th century, they would have been subjects of the Ottoman Empire, which didn't have a nationality law until 1869.  During the years of Mandatory Palestine (1920-1948), they would have been British Protected Persons but not British subjects.  After the British withdrew and the Mandate for Palestine ceased to exist, the citizenship of Palestinian Arabs became complicated.  Most became citizens of Jordan, some became citizens of Israel and others remained stateless.  The Palestinian Authority has issued "passports" since 1995.  While they are accepted by numerous countries as valid travel documents, they aren't generally regarded as proof of citizenship.

Salute to the decisive immigration bureau's response.

Whatever the nationality, it is good to shut out of the Persona No Grata(trouble making alien) for the peace and safety  of the people of this kingdom.

As well as for the reasoned travelers/ expats.

The post's author expressed security concerns, feeling anxious with only two women managing the establishment.

---------------------------------------------------------------

They might sometimes need a stout man with goon outlook in their shop, to deter those foreign Riff Raffs; as the human guard dog.

 

Lowlifes often do/demand something unreasonable when they feel it is safe to do so.

 

If they feel they will be easily overpowered and mangled, even the pea brains will behave themselves.

Please do not feel you are the ultimate authority on either Judaism or Zionism, you are

Check the heritage registers for DNA of current Israelis 

You have no idea or understanding or knowledge of my heritage or birthrights

You tend to pontificate without full knowledge, my opinions are as valid as you consider yours to be

I fully understand the differences between Judaism & Zionism

 

 

Sounds very reasonable.

Jews are said to be very diverse sorts of people.

One famous quote about them: 3 Jews and 5 opinions.

 

And actually, there are also Judaists against current Israeli policies(oppressing Palestinian refugees in the neighboring areas).

 

During 1960s’ Civil Rights Movement in USA, Jews were said to be one of the first group who supported its cause...

Not really.The jew bashers  toss out this chestnut to provide cover for their hateful  positions.  The reality is that the people who claim to be non zionist jews are not really jewish. They neither practice the religion nor affiliate with the community. They are not a particularly large group either.  They typically fall into three groups; 1. A small religious cult which does not accept the state of Israel, because they believe that there cannot be a state until the messiah arrives. 2. Marxists, Communists, Trotskyites and other extreme left wing political adherents and 3. Mentally ill people with low self esteem and self loathing.They know little about Israel or zionism.  A jew typically follows their bible and their opening prayer has been the same  since they were living in the Land of Israel thousands of years ago; "Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One." Israel is what that they are connected too, much as the Italian diaspora is connected to Ireland or Italians to Italy, Greeks to Greece etc.

Just like famous old quote: 3 Jews, 5 opinions.

Looks like their best part.

 

Sweeping statement(regarding particular kind of people all good/all bad) is often the hate mongers' sick logic mostly  from their Tunnel Vision(caused by the lack of knowledge).

Sounding to be much more anti Israeli than antisemitic.

 

 

Looks pretty much like that.

Because it is caused by some individuals' thoughtless acts that made headlines(with their nationality disclosed) sometime ago.

 

Thai people wouldn't know semitic/antisemitic things in the first place.

I bet they have no idea what Judaism is all about.

Therefore they cannot really be either pro or anti semitic...

Agree. Anti-israeli does not equate with anti-semitic. One is anti-national, the other is racist. There are many non-jewish Israelis in Israel.

Thank you, don't know how people can't separate it.   I hate Israel's government, they're short of being a terrorist, IMHO, and I think I'm being kind. :coffee1:

 

As for the Israeli people, they seem like fine people, I guess.

 

I don't really know any Jews, except for the ones that are in my family, and hey, they're family,so I have to tolerate them :cheesy:

I didn’t realize the Italians were a big thing in Ireland.

Some countries people travel well and don’t have much trouble, like the Japanese, Thais have had issue with Israelis going back decades.

Same sh#t different city, next week it will be Russians in Phuket, then Chinese in Pattaya, Australians in Bangkok, blah, blah, blah.  Media generated news to suite their political agenda.

The link is made by people like Netanyahu and his cabal of nationalist Jewish bigots. Anti semitism is rightly outlawed in many countries and these people want the link so as to make anti Israeli sentiment less acceptable and maybe even eventually sanctionable. It's already happened in the UK.

Don't know if anyone has already mentioned it here, but could it be that the manager of that establishment is a Gazan, Arab or Muslim, that would prove the sign with that filthy entry on it.

Unless they walk around with a star of David flag draped over themselves how are are they going to tell where they are from they don’t exactly walk around with their stupid hats and cheap suits on in Thailand do they. 🤷🏼

Stupid hats? Another live one.

Anyway, I'm under the impression that most people in the world can recognize Hebrew and Israeli accented English. Both are very distinctive. There may also be a certain "look" and distinctive attitude when you're talking about groups of young Israeli men cavorting about the place. If you're talking about accomodation owners. from the passports. Duh.

Not too likely. More likely to be a European.

Ok, so I mistyped. You know what I meant.

And no, Thailand  does not have an issue with israelis going back decades. You are  presenting your own bias.

On the contrary, Israel and Thailand have enjoyed  a very warm relationship. That relationship has grown closer as Israel has come to depend on Thai labour.

 

It is the muslim dominated parts of the world that  has not had a good relationship with Thailand. In case you forgot, muslims consider Buddhists to be idol worshippers, the worst of the infidels. If you took the time to study the teachings of Islam you would understand why that is.

Islam does not consider Buddhism to be a divinely revealed religion. The  common view is that Buddhism (and Hinduism) have corrupted corrupted Christianity from its original monotheistic message, which was derived from Judaism. Islam doesn't just condemn idol worship and  polytheism, but takes a hard line on the practice of magic or supernatural powers.  Buddhism is  said to be the source of the Sufi  deviancy that claims that Sufis can attain supernatural powers through spiritual exercises. This results in an inherent disdain and contempt  for  Buddhists by Muslims.

 

There are far more Europeans, and Australians per capita causing problems in Thailand than Israelis.

Please understand that being anti- genocide is not anti- Semitism

Many Israelis are not Zionists

Most current Israelis are of European decent, not from Middle Eastern heritage and have no historical connection to the land

What do you want to tell us?

That Israelis with western roots are different/better than Israelis with non-western roots?

Israeli is Israeli, both have the same faith = are jewish. Many are zionists by ideaology. This has nothing to do with their religion.
