An Israeli has no right to tell a Thai in Thailand to say or do anything. Period.

I see. Could they, for example, say "please kindly stop" if about to be shot by a Thai ?

Polarised/absolute thinking, the refuge of those who are unable to evaluate anything with any nuance and rely purely on dogma.

Using the word "period" to "finish" the debate is another clue that signals a weak argument

"He said a Palestinian customer he had served previously had recommended him to a friend and intended to refer more Palestinian customers. A woman known to him had suggested displaying a Palestinian flag when such customers arrived, as a way of building his customer base."

But you were provocatively waving the flag in Israelis faces

My response was based on the video I saw. Hypotheticals are less compelling than actuals. Where did you get the idea of using “period” as a sign of weak argument.

Does a Thai, in Thailand, have the right to say or do anything to you? Period? 😂 😂

People are very intolerant now on all things to get a feeling of identity/validation. Bunch of muppets to be honest... just drama-rama and nonsense. There are many brainwashed morons out there now that are just vexacious to your mental state... ignore them because they are lost and desperate with spouting falsehoods.

I have always taken the view, "A plague on both your houses". If Irael and Palestine both disappeared off the planet, it would be a better place.

Thousands of years of religious bigotry and so-called "civilisation" do not appear to have achieved much good for humanity....... anywhere!

A pox on yout house.

Imagine what went on before, must have been quite upsetting to get that reaction from the Thai.

You're making a lot of assumptions. Must have been? Come on man. You're making stuff up.

That's as idiotic as British tourist in India shouting "Free United Kingdom" during colonial times...

I don't take it so literally, just a flippant reponse.

It's difficult to tell who is more Thai-ier, the guy with one big Buddha tattoo, or the guy with several small Buddha tattoos. 😂 😂

What's your opinion?

Putting Politics aside, that is quite unpleasant behaviour from the Thai guy , goes against the "Land of smiles" narrative.

Those tourist would have spent a large amount money on visiting Thailand , its not a good look for Thailand for Thais to behave like that .

If I was a tourist thinking of taking vacation and I saw that video , I would think twice about visiting Thailand

I'm siding with the Thai guy, as his version seems very believable. The Israelis, always about them, immediately thought the flag was directed at them.
