Stop playing your silly games.

You're not fooling anybody.

This is the problem, you try to reason with you and you still insist in playing silly games as you say, if they are supporting the actions in the the Middle East then yes those Israeli citizen are part of the problem, alongside their International supporters.

We know full well not all Israelis and non-Jewish support the actions of the Israel government, hopefully that will change things after the elections next month.

You need to get your head out of the sand, you are not doing Jews any favours by taking the attitude that you do, it's just not a good look.

  • Clearly the US envoy does not know the difference between Anti-Semitism and anti-terrorist, anti-genocide, anti-crimes against humanity.

As if you care about Jews.

The world and his wife has had enough, the Hasbara is failing, when one of the most respectful peoples of the world start taking notice, the games up.

I think the Netanyahu forces will be punished amd deservedly but I wouldn't expect any kind of radical change such as shutting down the west bank settlements. I know you dream of an Israel that's like Canada but that's never gonna happen, Rough neighborhood.

The Israeli Palestine Arabs holding the Palestine flags wouldn't be supportive of Israel's actions

So, those Isrealis aren't the problem ?

Maybe someone should bring criminal libel charges against the US envoy for harming Thailand's reputation. That will teach them.

Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, is based in Washington, D.C. Good luck in persuading a Thai prosecutor to charge him with criminal libel in Thailand. Even if Rabbi Kaploun traveled to Thailand on official U.S. business, he would enjoy full diplomatic immunity as an ambassador-at-large.

Can you show us what a "jews get out" sign looks like? Specifically the ones being displayed in Bangkok and Phuket?

Nick posted the most egregious sign, "Jews Out" from the demonstration in front of the Israeli Embassy. It's a translation into English of the Nazi slogan "Juden Raus." I'll repeat a section of it as some on AN have a long learning curve.

From the Phuket anti-Jewish-holiday demonstration:

The sign beginning "Israeli" is NOT antisemitic. It is good advice that every tourist should heed, not just Israelis. The other sign is antisemitism on the level of the Third Reich.

If we exclude religious houses from the discussion, illegal landholding and disregard for local culture occur among many nationalities. Why single out the Jews?

I guess the religious houses was the straw that broke the camel's back.

No, it's not antisemitism.

It is expressing that they are tired of tolerating ABUSE from Israelis.

Like I said in the other thread, if you get a humanoid robot in your home and abuse it, it might murder you in your sleep. It won't care if you're Jewish or not.

How surprising.

The protests are because they are tired of ABUSE.

What are you guys doing in Thailand with Israeli flags on your avatars?

Why don't you take sides with Thais, since you are living in Thailand.

I'm sorry, your question is a bit vague and you can't spell Israeli, there are roughly 2% Christians, 1.5% Druze and a tiny community of Baháʼí according to Google,

I suppose, depending on how they are being treated by the Jewish Israeli majority will be a factor, and what flavour of Islam is followed, fundamentalism or secular.

There is a case for saying that there should be no religion in the region as for over 2 thousand years, it has not done any religious group any good, there all human beings, try forgetting religion and just get along.

Jesus wept because I find it silly that expats who have been living in Thailand for 30 years cannot find an ounce of empathy for the complaints of the locals and have to take sides with another entity based in a faraway land instead.

Anyone who has lived in Thailand outside the fleshpots of Bangkok, Pattaya, or Phuket knows that Thai culture is based on respect, especially when it comes down to how high a person has climbed up the greasy pole, ignorance is no excuse, get with the program or go away with short sharp jerky movements.

US Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, is based in Washington, D.C., he has come to Thailand with Western values that are not applicable here, Thai's have their ways of dealing with problems like this, the U.S. trying to be the World's policeman, has not done any good for local communities since WW2, doing the same things over and over and expecting different results is something I hope they would have realised by now does not work, especially in S.E.Asia.

Thai's don't see any difference between Israeli Jews, non Israeli Jews, Christians of any flavour, Mormons, Church of latter day saints, Sikhism, Shinto, etc etc.

Thai's practice Buddhism, a big part of it is about respect for all, a bit of an oversimplification, granted, but it's their way and their Country and we are only guests.

I am sure that nobody has anything but VERY GOOD things to say about Ashkenazi Jews.

Just what kind of Jews was the envoy raising questions about?

I find it amazing that a country needs a special envoy (e.g., Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism) who provides cover for the citizens of Israel who go to other countries and cause trouble including engaging in illegal acts. Honestly, I want a special envoy to provide cover for Americans breaking the law in Thailand, you know, Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Americanism or the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Farangism.
Really, hang the "victim" card around your neck and then claim these protesting Thais are engaging in "antisemitism" for protesting against Israelis engaging in activities that all of us here know will jerk a nationalistic fervor out of the Thai population, like gaming the land ownership laws or causing public disturbances. That tagline, "antisemitism", works like magic in Western countries, but we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. Thais are as equally nationalistic as Israelis are about their own country, and they are letting their feelings be known. If the signs said, "Farangs Out," I guess I'd have to invoke "anti-farangism" and start critiquing the Thai protestors who are protesting - in their own country - 'eh?

Here's the bottom line for all non-Thais in Thailand: Obey the Thai laws and respect the laws, the culture, and the society of Thailand - or - expect blow-back from the Thai community. If your citizens break the laws and mores of the country, censure your own citizens, not the citizens of the host country who have been rightfully offended.

That's insane!

Now you want there to be no religion in the middle east. The level of virtue signaling pompous elitist arrogance is stunning As an atheist I wouldn't even think of suggesting that religious people should give that up.

Your denial of racist Jew hatred in the protesters messaging doesn't pass the smell test. Jews out signs. Are you blind?

The propaganda and the denial doesn't pass the smell test. The hysteria enacted here doesn't pass the smell test.

The excitement of an international response, from a US based Rabbi, turned out to be a damp squib.

Wake up and smell the coffee. The PR and propaganda is no longer working. Time for the truth.

To be honest, Nick, I don't click on every thread on this forum and certainly don't seek out these "conflict" threads. The same goes for the news, but thanks for sharing the image.

I tend to avoid live feeds too, especially the obvious clickbait of the hysterically racist ones. If my behaviour causes me to miss some of the things that others get more excited about, so be it. I am sure someone will come along shortly to apply some label to me based on my behaviour.

They celebrate Indian religious festivals here - Holi and another one, I think.

Thais are welcome to join in and do join in.
