All Israeli’s have to do military service and they get a bonus afterwards that they often use for travel. Thailand was full of Israeli kids when I went. Would be awesome if Thailand did the same.

Some of them come to India too and from what I've heard, they're pieces of shits.

It's funny how often in these threads people mask off with their antisemitism so clearly

Jew here, and travelled through SE Asia. Israelis have always had a terrible reputation in parts of India and Thailand because after completing military service of 2-3 years, these kids get a lump sum before heading off to careers or university. They spend that money on booze and drugs and get off their faces before heading home to start their lives properly, and this is true of the Israeli Arab kids who serve too, as they are also no longer under the watchful eye of their parents or the military.

It's not uncommon for youth hostels in Thailand not to allow Israelis in groups to stay there, with signage saying so. Always "Israelis", never "jews". I saw a lot of this backpacking maybe 8 years ago.

So what you're saying is that hate speech against people because of their ethnicity or religion is off-limits, but hate speech against people because of their national origin is perfectly fine?

Sounds shitty.

Yeah it's everyone else's fault to notice the bullying done by your thugs.

Chutiya.

Yep I've seen reports on their little town in India and how they've been awful to the natives.

Amen. People will downvote us for calling it out, but this is absolutely bigtory on display.

I mean, Fuck Israel, they are committing Genocide. Let's get that out of the way, I don't stand for what Israel is doing at all.

But everyone deciding that every single Israeli is a "piece of shit" is just making broad discriminatory statements against people because of their Religion, Ethnicity, or National Origin. They aren't "criticizing Israel", they are spewing hatred about Israelis and Jews in retaliation for what Israel is done.

Fuck those people. The same kind of assholes who attacked Arab Americans following 9/11, because they decided that if they were mad enough, they could hurt whoever they wanted, and as long as some part of their victim's identity was tangential to the issue they were mad about, they were justified in doing it.
