Refreshing to hear from a self hating Jew who is totally out of the closet.

Dude --- you're promoting racist Jew hatred.

Jews are not a monolith.

OK... in order.

Definitely not self-hating - rather the opposite. By avoiding all religion throughout my life, I actually like myself more than if i slavishly followed the nonsense that they all promote.

Remember - "All religion is a foolish answer to a foolish question"

I'm promoting nothing - that was why I said "This dislike is not a political statement, nor meant to incite anyone else's actions, it's how I personally feel about people I have met - truly "IMO" "

As I've met people, and got to know them, I as do most of us, form opinions, rightly or wrongly of said people. My point is that some you like and some you don't and with 2 exceptions, I have discovered that those who turned out to be Jews, I just have not liked. The 2 exceptions became friends and hold similar views to me based purely on their personal experiences.

Not sure what you mean by "monolith" in this context, but I think my comments above should explain why my feelings are truly based on my personal experiences.

You may call what you wish - though neither of those epithets apply thank you.

I repeat yet again - my comments are based on personal experience - nothing to do with racism although I do dislike the State of Israel purely because of its arrogant oppression by those who should know better based on 20th century history.

Just because one is born into a religion, or cult or whatever, one's religion is what one chooses to believe. Example: the singer Cat Stevens converted to Islam and is now named Yusuf Islam out of choice.

I may have been born into a Jewish family but I'm resolutely not a Jew - the closest label I can attach to myself would be Agnostic - I dislike all religion and choose not to be a part of any of them. I regard all religion as merely a crutch for those who need "something" to believe in. But, if you choose to follow such a belief, that is up to you, and I hope it gives you some sort of comfort as long as you're not proselytising to others.

You are a Jew if you were born a Jew.

Nothing to do with practicing the religion.

To add, quite often racist Jew haters hate atheist Jews (I'm one too) even more than religious ones.

You are free to live in your denialist bubble of course.

Great. Now we aren’t going to hear the end of how anti semitic everyone is towards them. And then we are going to have to watch something about the holocaust for the next decade to educate the world about it. I know more about the holocaust than almost every other historical event. And it’s not by choice.

You are so right in this statement. I live in the center of Europe and speak all languages of direct neighboring countries, and watch their TV stations. And you are so right in this. I have never seen So many Holocaust documentaries or movies in my life as the last two or three years. And one more thing, they have visibly more pro Israeli presenters than complete neutral ones. Specially in France and the BBC. They let Netanyahu spit its venom and lies unfiltered As if there is only one truth. The Israeli one.

I have lived in Thailand for 20 years, and visited regularly before that.

I used to stay at a hotel on Koh Phi-Phi, before the tsunami. Taped to the hotel reception desk, under a protective plastic laminate, was an A4 sheet: the gist as close as I can rembember,

" No Israelis. If you are from Israel go away you can not stay here. We do not accept Israelis you are rude, arrogant and dishonest people. Go away.

The management"

So it's not a new sentiment.

When I first set foot in Chiang Mai more than 35 years ago I was surprised to see "No Israelis" signs in front of some guest Houses !?

When I asked why, The answer was everywhere the same, that Israelis always made trouble, didn't pay their food and services, ran away early in the morning without paying, And so much more stories of bad behavior.

Clearly another case of anti-Semitism. God's chosen people shall stay strong. All the God's chosen people from Patong shall unite and fight together.

Listen: God has not to do with sh!tty behavior —and God does not pen “holy books.” The Elite had scribes write these things to control the unwashed masses. The concept of “Chosen-ness” was a no-brainer to employ thus to numb their skulls. You see, it’s so powerful a concept that it still works today on them. Indeed, it self-serves to give them moral cover to steal Palestinian Land and genocide their people without remorse. A poll has shown 70% of the Israeli population is in support of the genocide in Gaza and elsewhere. So really, their behavior in Thailand is only the tip of the iceberg, but quite revealing all the same.

Sounds like you're lying but I do invite you to prove otherwise and post a credible poll saying 70 percent of Israelis support "genocide" in Gaza.

True, noticed that too.

What I d like to know is why this sudden flock of Israelis coming to thailand ? Most seem young , under 50. There are hefty charges against them for their business actions in the islands . And lots of bona fide complaints from Thai businesses about their behavior. I’ve seen and heard it myself. I’ve also seen it in France where whole neighborhoods have been taken over by mostly miserable small shops, food/ tailors. They were clients of a friend of mine who sold authentic vegetarian food. Boy, were they demanding , rude and impolite often asking for free items so it got to the to the point of them being refused.

Now this is strange.And that it’s happening in Thailand , maybe because it’s a Bouddhist’country and not considered religious ?

I don’t want to see Their schools ( 80 kids) popping up every where or them being able to buy land hotels etc though ghost companies.

You attempt to deflect from the core subject here by splitting hairs over percentages in the overwhelmingly wide Israeli public support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza and elsewhere.

The core subject is wide-spread Israeli bad behavior here in Thailand. The problem is easy to understand as an immoral, bogus self-concept of "Chosen-ness" or Jewish Supremacy in action. As I said the incidents in Thailand are trivial, only the "tip of the iceberg" when viewed against their ghastly inhumanity in the Middle East, especially in Gaza.

A quote of 70% of Israeli public support for the genocide in Gaza is actually a low estimate. It's more like 80% to 95% as you can read below.

The highest recorded percentages of public support for military actions in Gaza appear in surveys conducted by the Peace Index project, which is administered by the Tel Aviv University (TAU) International Program in Conflict Resolution and Mediation.

In their initial surveys following October 2023 (such as the November 2023 and January 2024 Peace Index surveys), they specifically measured Jewish-Israeli public opinion on the scale of military force being used in Gaza:

 58% (in Nov 2023) believed the IDF was using too little firepower, while another 37% felt the firepower level was appropriate, totaling 95% combined support for maintaining or increasing military force.  

 In January 2024, 88% of Jewish-Israeli respondents stated that the scope of the operation and its casualties were justified given the overall war aims.

Where to Find It on the Web:

 Pollster/Organization: Tel Aviv University (The Peace Index / Evens Program in International Conflict Resolution and Mediation)

 Web Location: You can find these archived reports and detailed dataset breakdowns directly on the official Tel Aviv University website under the Peace Index Archive(⁠en-social-sciences.tau.ac.il/peaceindex/archive⁠).

Another frequently cited high-percentage metric came from the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), which publishes regular tracking surveys (the Israeli Voice Index) on their official portal (⁠idi.org.il⁠). Their early war surveys registered over 80–85% support among Jewish Israelis for achieving the defined military objectives before considering any major operational pauses.

None of your polls even mention genocide .

So, you are making false and wrong claim about "shown 70% of the Israeli population is in support of the genocide in Gaza and elsewhere."

No polls show your claim

Chabad-Lubavitch maintains a global network of over 6,000 institutions across 100 countries. Why?

Chabad-Lubavitch has two main purposes:

• To serve the religious and lifestyle needs of Jews who are traveling inside and outside their native countries or living abroad on a long-term basis. To this end, Chabad Houses function as Jewish synagogues and community centers. Chabad Houses are particularly important to Jews who follow a kosher diet, as kosher food can be difficult to obtain in some countries. Chabad sometimes operates Jewish schools and activities for Jewish children and young people.

• As an outreach program to encourage secular and non-observant Jews return to active practice of the Jewish faith. Jews who request it can receive guidance and counselling from a rabbi or synagogue member. Outreach activities are restricted to Jews; Chabad-Lubavitch does not attempt to convert people who follow other religions

The chosen thing is a religious concept that has nothing at all to do with superiority.

Jews are an ethnoreligious group similar to Kurds.

So both a religion and also a people.

No need to practice Judaism for a Jew to still be a Jew. You can be a Jewish person and.also an atheist at the same time.

Not rare at all actually.

So yes different in that way from other religions.

Not superior. Just differrent
