Demonstrators burn Israeli flags at Embassy Protest in Bangkok

[Baerboxer]

Disgusting to see this racist protest in Thailand.

Disgusting to see this racist protest anywhere.

I see on the news that three Israeli's will be charged with murdering the young Palestinian who was kidnapped and burned to death. The Israeli police acted swiftly, effectively, efficiently and professionally in investigating and catching those responsible.

Now, can we expect the same action from the PA and Hamas regarding the culprits who murdered three young Israeli's?

[Jingthing]

...

There is a distinct possibility that they would recognise Israel if Israel would recognise Palestine.

...

That's easy for you to say if you're not Israeli surrounded by hostile neighbors. It's not your country on the line, is it?

[Baerboxer]

Yeah! These juice are really baaaad. In fact, I'll drinks to that.

Another man of peace.

[abrahamzvi]

Disgusting to see this racist protest in Thailand.

I could not agree more!!! It is one thing to demonstrate for PEACE and HUMANITY, but to hold a racial (ant-Semitic) demonstration in such a non racial country like Thailand is no more than a DISGRACE. The demonstrators did no favour to the Palestinian cause, rather the contrary!

[Thailand]

Some political protests are OK some are not?

What is the criteria now?

[khunken]

The fact that Israel has accepted the Egyptian proposed cease-fire and Hamas have rejected it, does that say anything???

Yes it says that a proposed cease-file by a military government who violently overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas's allies) is worthless. Was lifting the blockade a part of it? Very unlikely.

[NoBrainer]

The reason that so many Palestinians are willing to martyr themselves, is because their life under Israeli occupation is unbearable.

There is just nothing to really live for, as it is like one giant concentration camp. It is un-substaiable in it's current form. At some point, when you

torture people & confiscate everything they have, they are going to push back.

I hope that day will come sooner than later.

Lucky for them that an Israeli drone can fly that far to Bkk....

Is it yours? You know damn well that the hostility is directly related to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. In fact Jordan and Egypt are far from hostile having being bought by US grants. That leaves a deeply divided Lebanon and a Syria with no capability of any hostilities.

[englishoak]

Disgusting to see this racist protest in Thailand.

Notice that there are no protests about the 4000 innocents killed by Islamic animals in South Thailand. Hamas have launched 600+ rockets into Israel the fact that most were shot

down does not mean there will be no retaliation.

Muslims do not have the ability to think through any problems.

Neither does Israel your point is what ? that Israel dosnt commit atrocities or instigate half the problems ? wake up

[simple1]

Why does such an anecdotic conflict make people who are not directly concerned so passionate (from either side), in Europe, America...even Asia now. As far as Thailand is concerned it's not even sure the guerilla in the south doesn't kill more people than these middle-eastern trifles.

Very different security challenges, but around 2,600 non Muslim killings attributed to the militants in the past 10 years in the deep South. In the same period approx 300+ Israelis killed due to Islamic terrorism.

Sorry Simple1 I know that you're normally reasonably fair and knowledgeable about the region but the above is blatantly one-sided.

you're misguided in your assumptions nobrainer, how would you like to live in a city where

hundreds of rockets being lobbed at you indiscriminately days and night?

Have you seen a consecration camps that the enemy supply them with food, medicine, electricity,

water, fuels, banking service, hospital service have their own repetitive in the government and

the senate?

They have plenty to live for, build a country and stop lobbing rockets and abduct kill innocent young kids

and take all that money you spend on armament and terrorism to built a country for you selves...

[BestBitterPhuket]

The protesters can't be taken serious, unless their display of blatant racism is deliberate. They attack ALL Jewish people, not only the Israelis.

By the way, where are these Muslim protesters when we count the bodies of all the innocent Thais murdered daily in the south. Not a single soul protesting.....unless the army kills some of the Muslim terrorists there. These protesters have ZERO moral legitimacy. The fact is, that by employing Israeli strategies in the south of Thailand, the resistance would have been broken years ago.

From the picture, it looks like it's a bunch of bearded Osamas protesting. I don't think the non muslim Thais really give a damn about what's happening there. Not enough to protest at least.

Just recently...Hamas was asked to sign a temporary peace treaty...to stop the violence...which Israel had already signed...and their answer was to fire more than 100 rockets into Israel injuring many...these people are not interested peace...their aim is to wipe Israel and the Jews from the face of the earth...with this in mind...if you were an Israeli...what would you do...?

[BSJ]

There was way more than 5 there. Why wasn't this lawbreaking bunch of scumbags arrested by the police?

Not half as misguided as you ezzra.

I would go crazy living in a blockaded area where every so often I could be blown to bits by a 1 tonne bomb, where I cannot import building materials to reconstruct my bombed-out neighbourhood, where I'm not allowed to travel out of the Apartheid-like enclave, where my friends are not allowed to visit me, where I can't go fishing for fear of my boat being sunk, where my hospitals and schools are bombed just like everywhere else and where I voted for a government denied power because of external forces (Israeli & US) go out of their way to prevent reconciliation in my country.

They cannot build a country without Israeli permission - that's the reality. More hatred is being generated from this atrocity but the Israelis don't care - they're a bloodthirsty lot (not all of them though) and they'll bomb them again the next time it flares up.

Not one sided at all. I was responding to Calach's query on the number of killing by the militants in the deep South, compared to deaths caused by the militant / terrorist actions against Israelis. (Jewish deaths from a Jewish organisation).

[Ace of Pop]

I seem to remember when the Islamics laughed at that dried up bit of Land they were give. Now because they turned it into something, they want it back. Like the Chinese with H.K. Blow the Place Up,and give it back the way You were Given it Israel, a pile of rubbish. like the Brits should have done with H.K, or sell it for Trillions to the terrorists..

it is a shame that the good muslims are too fearful to speak up against the extremist minority.

They have plenty of building martials, they go and build tunnels kilometers long to smuggle armaments

and luxury times from Egypt to enrich the Hamas leaders, why instead of building those tunnels they don't build shelters for the populations? with out Israel supplying you with everything, from water electricity and fuel and medicines Gaza would be a desert city, the Hamas is a terrorist organization, and as long as they

run the life of the good people of Gaza the situations will just repast it self over and over again.

Based on recent events, protests against the USA and friends of the USA (Israel) are Okie-dokie.

It would be interesting to see what the response would be to a protest against CHINA.

[Phatcharanan]

Tragic events with the 3 Israeli boys but as usual the Israeli response it out of all proportion and is indeed murderous and hateful. I'm glad people are protesting this.

Hamas started firing the rockets after the Israelis started to search a lot of the homes in the area.

Once rockets are fired then the Israeli response is inevitable.

The only building materials they have is what's smuggled through the tunnels. They will surely build shelters when Israel allows the building materials to be sent into Gaza. Enrich Hamas leaders? A deliberate lie..

Hamas is no more a terrorist organisation than the Israeli military used state terrorism. In case you (deliberately) are ignorant of the fact - the last election held in all the Palestinian territories voted for Hamas (majority).

When the bloodthirsty Netanyahu (or far more likely a future peaceable leader) is prepared to allow all Palestinians their statehood, they can get on with re-building Gaza and maybe reclaim their agricultural land stolen by the Apartheid-driven wall & fence. Until then this type of atrocity (the third on Gaza) will be repeated and more fanatics created.

whose country was it before israel existed..the balfour declaration..about giving jews there own homeland..another british mess up.i believe when we sold the arabs down the drain...didnt stop the jews murdering british soldiers who were peacekeeping the bombing of the david hotel by jewish terrorists..shall i go on...stop making out the jews/israelis are so pure in all this.remember roger walters the germans kill the jews..the jews kill the arabs..the arabs kill the hostages..

[Phatcharanan]

No rockets (which incidentally didn't kill anyone) or no civilian bombings in Gaza has been a chicken and egg conundrum ever since the blockade. It's nothing but bloodthirsty revenge which will create as many more Israel-haters as the two previous atrocities on Gaza.

Iron Dome saw to it that no Israeli's have been killed by rocket fire..............yet

Israeli response was NOT to 3 murders but to 1000 rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas
