Dear Folks,

Concerning the war developments, I am getting worried about Tourism, and the Quality of Tourists we may be seeing soon.

This Topic is about the Israeli Military, and the conscripts, and potential Impact of these Policies on numbers of TOURISTS we see in the streets around here.

Those in the know, and as reported by Times of Israel, see critical manpower shortages, and state that the IDF is about to collapse in on itself.

Does this mean, do you think, that Israeli Tourists, especially the one’s young enough to fight, probably about less than age-69, will be leaving Thailand, and returning to Israel, to confront Israel’s existential threat?

And, what about the 10-Red Flags?

Read the article here:  https://www.timesofisrael.com/zamir-said-to-warn-cabinet-that-idf-will-collapse-in-on-itself-amid-manpower-shortage/

But, anyway, most of us will not be going to Israel, these days. Still, conscription policies, and especially WAR FATIGUE of the typical Israeli soldier, might impact tourism numbers and quality of the tourism experience in Thailand.

War does have consequences.

And, war changes soldiers.

So my question is, with all these endless wars, how do these wars affect the IDF soldiers who may visit Thailand for R&R?

In addition, have most of the Israelis already left Thailand, after being called back to support their motherland prior to its imminent collapse?

We live in such interesting times that….it’s…

Almost impossible to keep up.

Best regards,

Gamma

Note: You know what they say.... Where there's Smoke, there's Fire. And, here on TV, are we not often worried about the mental health of the average Farang Tourist? You know we are!!!

This can't go on, Shirley.....

Too many are here and some Thai are not happy.

With citizen-soldiers, the likes of those that have served in the IDF over the decades...

Yes, and I agree with Thai people. How could they or anyone feels safe living with others who had grown up in such a militarized society, which is only becoming more radically militarized by the day.

And, as the the video does say...
425,000 Israelis Chose Thailand But Thai People Don’t Feel Peaceful Anymore.

Why did so many Israeli soldiers, and reservists, choose Thailand, anyway?

Why are we so blessed by their presence?

Thailand is too welcoming and they like money.

Thailand is pretty neutral and has Thai workers ($$$) in that

despicable country, so they won't do much .

Years ago, it was the US soldiers on leave from Vietnam which radically changed parts of Taipei/Taiwan culture and environment.

The impact of foreign soldiers in a foreign land is immense.

And, we all know that almost every citizen of Israel must be a soldier.
