lvr181 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Israel is on the Asian continent? Not what I was taught at school Or once again, improper use of English language and grammar?

connda Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm sure that the Obama administration and progressive left will be ecstatic. Prayut should claim credit. Such an event should normalize relations quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This has nothing to do with race, they are talking about continents. Are you a politician or lawyer (or perhaps a Thai journalist) by any chance? And if you look at the quoted reference map, only half of New Guinea is shown as Asian and the other half not. I wonder why the same piece of island is thus divided? My comments therefore are still based on "race" rather than geography. Do you think the Arab nations consider themselves of Asia? If you're not sure, ask some Arab peoples. As "gay" has changed in what it means over time, then perhaps "asian" has also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Middle East is part of the Asian continent. If Middle East residents aren't aware of that, too bad. Consider TURKEY, famously partly in Europe, mostly in Asia. Is that so hard to process for you? BTW -- "Arab" is not a race and lots of people living in the Middle East are not Arabs. Also of course not to forget the majority Arab countries that are on the AFRICAN continent.
