Sadly for Israeli tourists , Phuket is not an extension of the West Bank , and although they may choose to settle there , they need to remember that they have no right to dictate how others conduct their affairs.

Deporting Kevin , IMO , would be excessive since as a business owner he has the right to run his business as he sees fit.

If my kids and I were refused entry to an attraction because of our nationality I too would become pear shaped. Jeez, there's a lot of anti-semitism on here, even from at least one Jew.

However, it seems like the problem is not this local after all. Earlier there were news stories about Israelis' behaviour in Pai. Khun Kevin has posted that he previously had problems with tourists from Israel, which was why he made the sign. And in today's ASEAN NOW-news there is a story about problems with Israelis in Phuket...

It also happens in Germany. This incident happened on June 8, 2026 at the Hotel Zum Hirschen, near Lam, in Bavaria, Germany.

It seems to be that Jacob is a racist and a pig and a snowflake, and simply could not handle the idea of a business owner supporting the Palestinian people. Very typical of a lot of Israelis who tend to be quite provincial in their outlook and very intolerant of people who don't obey their country's narrative.

I'm a Jew and I support the Palestinian cause, and would be very proud to display their flag. Jacob needs to get a life and stop being a weak and pathetic victim.

Seems that there are a lot of different "kinds" of Jews. Very polarized with their beliefs. Very confusing to the masses. It's no wonder that people just want them to live in their own world. When people talk about Jews no one knows which ones they're talking about, leaving too much room for interpretation and misunderstanding. Frankly, it would appear that most people just want them to STFU.

Those restaurants are waving their national flags. Kevin wasn't displaying his national flag (French), he was displaying a Palestinian flag. A clear act of political provocation.

Yes exactly, so Kevin shouldn't bring his hatred of Israel to Thailand.

The same can be said of any group of 15 million people .

Is there any group in the World where 15 million people all have the same opinion about everything ?

If you don't like someone waving a flag, don't post death threats . Instead go to the Thai authorities where they will decide. If they say its okay, then its okay. This individual should be reminded that he is a guest of Thailand and if he doesn't care for their rulings he knows where the airport is.

Not done anything wrong?? Accept breaking Thai laws…..Flying a foreign country's flag in public in Thailand is illegal under the 1979 Flag Act, with potential penalties including imprisonment. Peace

Not just the flags of other countries:

"According to the Immigration Committee’s decision, the three were filmed waving a yellow Moshiach flag associated with a faction of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and handing out pamphlets inviting tourists to join religious activities on the nearby island of Koh Tao."

Displaying a Palestinian flag is not “A clear act of political provocation.” Rather an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people being genocided by the Chosen Ones, who can say and do whatever they like with the full military and financial support of America and many western nations.

Kevin did not bring his hatred of Israel to Thailand. The world is waking up to Israel and hates Israel for genociding the Palestinians. All part of establishing their Eretz Israel or Greater Israel, the land between the Nile in Egypt and the Euphrates in Iraq as promised by God to Abraham.

This case is already attracting attention in France. The French owner may well face criminal proceedings when he returns, since French criminal law can apply to offences committed abroad by French nationals. Deportation would therefore not necessarily mean that he gets away with it. 😉

I assure you that they seek the elimination of Israel, a Palestinian State is just a precursor.

I am tired of the protests. If someone wants to support Palestine, go there and do it, but protesting in the UK (for example) wastes police resources and finances and impacts commerce and security, the UK has problems of its own!

It's the protests that ended the Vietnam War.

If people didn't protest against it, the big defense hardware companies would have kept it going longer and longer, purely for more profits.

Must have been a publicity stunt, a hack, or the hotel doesn't exist.

Not the same thing, that was a conflict the USA was propagating and the protests were in that country. They need to go protest in Israel not London!

How can you support a population who want to totally eradicate people like you? 🤔

Very weird, let show, let display a palestinian flag, symbol of the palestinian terror organisations,

They killed, kidnapped, tortured a lot of thai citizens. The thai government need to prohibit these provocations, beside terrorists, in Thailand.

The hotel apologized for that message, but had a rather lame-sounding excuse.

German hotel apologizes for 'no Jews allowed' message

A Bavarian hotel has apologized after rejecting a booking by an Israeli customer by telling them that "there are no Jews allowed" at the hotel.

A hotel in the southern German state of Bavaria came under heavy criticism for a message refusing a reservation to an Israeli guest that included a message reminiscent of the Nazi era.

A complaint was made to the appropriate German authorities and an investigation was launched, but I can't see any outcome mentioned on the Internet,

I can!

The French owner of Samui Exotic Park committed three acts which could be considered illegal under French law.

1. He denied the Israeli family access to his zoo solely on the basis of the family's nationality. "You must not be denied goods or services only because you belong to a certain race, nationality, religion or some other objective characteristics. Refusing access to goods or services to someone based on prohibited grounds is a discrimination punished by the Criminal Code. It is indeed considered a criminal offence punished by 3 years’ imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 €."

   https://www.guidedroitshomme.fr/en/themes/discrimination/situations-of-discrimination/access-to-goods-and-services

2. He physically assaulted the father of the Israeli family. That is an illegal act in every country.

3. He made an online threat against an Israeli citizen (not the family father). Under Article 222-17 of the French Penal Code, threats of violence, crimes, or severe misdemeanors made in writing or electronically (including online messages and social media) are punishable by up to 6 months in prison and a €7,500 fine.

It's highly unlikely he would be prosecuted in France for the first two of the above crimes since they occurred in Thailand, but a theoretical possibility exists he could be prosecuted for the third. However, had he committed any of the above in France, he could have been prosecuted.

That level of religious activism is incompatible with the conditions of a tourist visa. The three Israelis have themselves to blame for any negative consequences. However, I can't see any online reports that they were indeed deported.

A local advisory committee on Koh Pha Ngan recommended the three have their visas revoked, but the committee doesn't have the formal authority to do so. That authority rests with the Immigration Bureau.

How can you so easily buy into all the silly juvenile means and tropes? How many Palestinians have you actually met and talked to? The ones that I know do support do not support destruction of America nor harm to Jews. That's a Steven Miller type meme and that's why I following men like him is so dangerous.

That is such a ridiculously dumb question it does not deserve an answer, but I can tell you this I know quite a few more Palestinians than you know.
