Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
File photo courtesy: Wikipedia An unsettling incident involving a 22-year-old Israeli holidaymaker in Thailand has ignited further concern among Israeli tourists. The young backpacker, referred to as Mr. Ilay, was reportedly attacked by a group of German tourists in the country's scenic north, according to Ynet. This disturbing assault occurred against the backdrop of recent security warnings affecting Israelis in the region. Mr. Ilay recounted the harrowing moment to Ynet, saying, “I was walking past a group of four young Germans. One asked, ‘Where are you from? Israel?’ Before I could respond properly, he hit me in the face.” This unprovoked violence quickly escalated as the group reportedly pushed and kicked him, hurling derogatory insults with one particularly offensive phrase that reflects ongoing prejudices, calling him “Israeli son of a wh***.” The attack left Mr. Ilay with a noticeable eye injury and painful rib swelling, an experience he believes was deliberately aimed at targeting an Israeli. "I feel they were looking for Israelis," Mr. Ilay remarked. "It didn't seem like a mistake." His injuries serve as a stark reminder of the latent dangers tourists might face abroad in politically charged times. The assault comes just as the Israeli National Security Council (NSC) heightened their travel warning for Thailand to Level 2. This advisory calls for increased caution rather than abrupt departure, in light of perceived threats specifically towards Israelis. Authorities have urged tourists to be especially vigilant in avoiding large gatherings with Israeli connections and to steer clear of venues that may signify Israeli or Jewish affiliation. In recent weeks, concerns have been mounting over the safety of Israeli nationals in Southeast Asia, particularly after the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE, which has potential links to terror plots targeting Israelis. Such incidents have amplified fears and resulted in calls for Israeli tourists to exercise enhanced caution and discretion in their travels. For visitors, this means maintaining a low profile, avoiding overt expressions of Israeli identity, and abstaining from publicising travel plans or connections online. This proactive stance aims to shield tourists from becoming inadvertent targets of misplaced animosity. In response, Israel's security apparatus remains on high alert, collaborating with international partners to safeguard Israeli travellers and disband any imminent threats. However, incidents like the one Mr. Ilay encountered underscore the unpredictable nature of such dangers and the importance of continuous vigilance and rapid response. As these developments unfold, Israeli tourists are encouraged to stay informed through official channels, ensuring their safety during this tense period, reported The Jerusalem Post. -- 2024-12-02 -

‘Wife for hire’: Inside Thailand’s shocking rental marriage trend
Probably same reason as most of us. Think it's going to be sex without having to go look for it in a bar. Usually wrong. Re the lottery, agreed. Contract with an escort agency would be the cheese. -
