Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct
Here's the long version of my post above. Official statistics don't exist on the number of Israelis with dual citizenship, but one expert group estimated in 2019 "about 10% of the country's population has dual citizenship." https://www.dualcitizenshipreport.org/dual-citizenship/israel/ A 2018 paper in an academic journal stated roughly 344,000 Israelis held dual citizenship with an E.U. country. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/imre.12017 An article in The Times of Israel said about 200,000 Israelis also hold citizenship in the U.S. https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-nightmare-us-passport-crunch-for-dual-citizens-in-israel-among-most-severe/ That figure includes U.S. Jews who emigrated to Israel and Israelis who acquired U.S. citizenship. Bottom line: Only a small minority of Israel's 7.2 million Jewish citizens have dual citizenship and hold two passports. A myth that habitually makes the rounds on social media claims all Jews automatically become Israeli citizens. In fact, Jews from any country have to meet the stipulations of the Israeli Law of Return and live in Israel for a certain period of time to acquire Israeli citizenship. Children born outside Israel to an Israeli parent, however, are considered Israeli citizens from birth. No official statistics are published on the ethnic background of Israeli Jews, but an academic study in 2015 indicated the following breakdown: Mizrahi, 44.9%; Ashkenazi, 31.8%; USSR, 12.4%; Mixed, 7.9%; Ethiopian, 3.0%. The "U.S.S.R." category included citizens of the former Soviet Union who, due to their ancestry, qualified for immigration to Israel under the Law of Return but had never practiced the Jewish religion or observed customs such as circumcision. These highly secular Jews often didn't a Jewish lifestyle after arrival in Israel and were considered "Jews without religion." DNA studies have confirmed modern Jewish populations across the globe have a shared ancestry in the Middle East. The population genetics of the Jewish people. Ultimately, Jews are descendants of the Hebrew and Israelite peoples who lived in Biblical times in the area which became the state of Israel. Bottom line: Today's Jews are of are of Middle Eastern heritage and have strong historical ties to Israel. That depends on what definition is used for "many" and "Zionist." How many is "many?" What is a Zionist? Until we have a clear definition of those two words, it's impossible to say whether many or few Israelis are not Zionist. There's also a huge difference between not supporting Zionism and actively opposing Zionism. Israeli Jews can vehemently disagree with the policies of the Netanyahu government but still support Israel as the homeland of the world's Jews. Generally speaking, the Jewish religious and secular groups which self-identify as anti-Zionist are located outside Israel. -

Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct
Both those statements are false. When antisemitic tendencies cloud people's minds, they fall victim to all sorts of untrue claims. The short answer is only a small minority of Israelis have dual citizenship and two passports, while the largest ethnic group in Israel (about 45%) consists of Mizrahi Jews whose ancestors came from the Middle East, i.e. North Africa and parts of Asia, including Israel itself. Only one-in-three Israeli Jews, or about 32%, are of Ashkenazi (European) background. The ancestors of Ashkenazi Jews had been driven out of the Middle East in various waves, beginning with the Roman conquest of Judea. One other fact needs to be mentioned. Nearly 80% of Israeli Jews (four out of five) are Sabra, i.e., were born in Israel. If Israel ceased to exist and its citizens driven away, the Sabra would have no where to go, That's why they fight so hard to preserve a homeland for the world's Jews. Never again is today. For those of you who get scared off by long posts, I'll put the details for the above, with links to sources, in a separate follow-up post. -

Indian Restaurant Owner in Pattaya Calls for Action Against Rental Bike Operators
The motorbike rental business in Pattaya, Phuket, Hua Hin etc. works like this: Pay the local police the usual fee and they can park their bikes wherever agreed with the police, so public land is simply used privately without them being subject to legal prosecution.
