Israel-Palestine Row Hits Thai Restaurant on Koh Samui

Featured Replies

The phrase “Israel does not exist” is a genocidal statement frequently used by Muslims around the world. What they offer Israel is nothing but the demand to cease existing. Yet, when Israel responds, they claim victimhood.

    The Palestinians would be waiting by the pier to hijack all the delivery trucks on arrival .    There would be food shortages within  week on Ko Samui if Palestinians were there .    No need

  • @BritManToo Have you ever visited Koh Samui? I'm guessing you haven't seen Israelis walk into a restaurant with McDonalds food, share a single bottle of water and then leave all the rubbish for the re

What truth @Yagoda? You made an accusation about Palestinians sexually abusing people, when in fact jews and Israelis are infamous for that. Truth doesn't flow from you, just vile and disgusting accusations.

I'm still waiting for you to provide evidence for your assertion. I've already given your Epstein.

The truth isint bigotry,  Israelis and jews in general still harp on what the nazis did to them , but ok for them to do same to the Palestinians,  ya hypocrite, been down south many many times and people lovely and polite unlike Israelis, love to take bus loads of Israelis down there that would hopefully not return, Thailand should take same stance as Malaysia and ban em  , or is Malaysia in your hypocrisy full os nasty muslims, End of the day Israelis are just arabs without the skirts and head gear

Thailand is not a Muslim country, so why should it echo the medieval fanaticism of some of its Muslim neighbors?

This is FAKE NEWS

 

Please correct your news coverage to avoid defamation lawsuit.

Restaurant issued a press release a few days ago.

 

Press Release
Date: September 28, 2025

On September 26, 2025, at approximately 5:30 PM, an unfortunate altercation occurred at our restaurant during the owner’s absence. The incident involved a guest—who, based on the video evidence, spoke in Moroccan Arabic and Dutch—and a group of Israeli guests.

False claims have been circulated suggesting that our restaurant refused service to Israeli guests. These claims are entirely baseless and do not reflect the values, policies, or practices of our establishment.

Video recordings clearly show that the dispute was solely between the individuals involved. Our management and staff had no role in causing or escalating the situation. The video was neither recorded nor distributed by us, and no guest was ever asked to leave the premises.

Our restaurant is committed to welcoming and serving all guests equally, without discrimination of any kind, regardless of nationality, religion, or identity. We regret the misunderstanding this incident has created and reaffirm our dedication to maintaining an inclusive and respectful environment for everyone.

No surprise that it turned out to be a different story altogether...

This Moroccan fanatic should be deported — from both Thailand and the Netherlands — and sent back to the Sahara desert.

@Hellfire I guess you miss the posts where the board jews and their apologists state that there is no Palestine...

 

The name Palestine was used for the region hundreds of years BC.

 

Selectively deaf and dumb.

Palestine as a state? Never existed until that crook named Arafat invented it not so long ago.

@Hellfire Did I write 'state'? Always wriggling around, like snakes.

The name "Palestine" did exist long time before the Arabs invaded the region. What exactly do you want to prove here?

   You would like to take a  coach load of people to Southern Thailand and they get killed there ?

  You are wanting a coach load of people to die in Thailand ?

Would you want just Israeli Jews to be killed or would you want Israeli Muslims to be killed as well ? 

    Is it just a  coach load of  Jews that you would like to see die in Southern Thailand ?

Semantics.

 

Palestine existed, you can't claim it didn't.

1988: Arafat formally declared the State of Palestine in Algiers at the PLO’s Palestinian National Council.

This was the first political definition of Palestine as a state in the 20th century (and ever).

This was the first widely recognized modern, political definition of Palestine as a state in the 20th century.

 

Palestine existed under British Colonial Rule.  It was called Mandatory Palestine.

Smart businesses and celebrities are wise enough to not make politicial statements because, in the modern world, opinion is polarized on pretty much everything, and it's bad for business as you offend half the population straight away. Stick to what you are good at, like hospitality in this case, or in the case of celebs music/entertainment etc. It doesn't mean you can't have an opinion, but why would we listen to a restauranteur about politics, or a singer about policing, a nurse about automotive maintenance. a gardener about being a pilot etc., well, you wouldn't. A great example of this foolishness is Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream... bunch of lefty virtual signalers and lost lots of business through their ill-advised comments, stick to ice cream.

When people stray off their expertise, then it is no more valid than Bob's opinion down the pub and should be treated as such... usually that means emotional nonsense unless an obvious case of critical thinking is there to see, or decent arguments presented, which I doubt in this case and many others (as people are generally incapable of debate), just the "my way or the highway BS" to validate themselves and their rubbish through vainglory to make them at ease with the world around them, and so they have a good beed on things in their fantasy... doesn't make them right, though.

AFAIR Thailand is NOT a Jewish country either,  so why should it follow the fanaticism of a country which claims that the land was given to them by a mythical god thousands of years ago, who no one has ever seen.

@Patong2021 I was inside the restaurant at the time, eating. Would have breakfast in the same restaurant every day. We all had stories about the Israelis. From the day I landed on Samui. I can recount very many. Not just Samui, but anywhere were they were allowed. Even met them in Spain :1zgarz5: Truly horrible people. 

I''d hasten to add that I've lived in many countries and racism isn't part of my makeup. Everything I write is from what I've seen. Also confirmed by so many who had exactly the same experience. 

All you guys do is make excuses.

Have had similar experiences with them in every country I’ve encountered them. Will give anyone a fair shake of the stick, but they don’t do themselves any favours. Of course, if one points this out, one is immediately labelled a bigoted antisemite etc 😴. So lame. 
You’ll get nowhere with the one you’re quoting. They are blind and won’t have it.

Yeah there is a lot of that kind of thing around. Including putting Israel in quotes to suggest it's not real. It's a bit like Putin claiming that Ukraine doesn't exist. No I'm not defending the Israeli government excesses, but Israel does exist

You're continual denial Palestine ever existed is making you look ridiculous.

That's not what the founder of Zionism said at all. But I get it. You're yet another one that likes to trash Jews and considers all Jews a monolith.

Any individual be it an israeli, american or palestinian who is expressing political ideas in public or throwing out political opinions all over, should remain in their homelands.

 

When abroad, you respect the local culture and leave your xenophobia or racism back home and keep it to yourself - no matter from where you are or who you are.
