Blogger’s Note: There’s a video going around showing an English tourist knocking-out two or three comparatively small-statured Israelis on a Thai-beach – to the applause of Thais and foreigners standing-by and watching. These individuals had just returned from murdering Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza – and had been sent to Thailand on a “free holiday” paid for using US-donated money by the Israeli government. The Israelis mentioned above – had been boasting about these killings in public – whilst asking for places where they buy drugs and could “purchase” under-age Thai girls to be used for sex. As far as Israeli criminality goes – this is just the tip of the iceberg.
When the “tolerance” of the Thais is taken into account – seen as “shocking” by many Westerners – it is astonishing that they draw the line at Israeli behaviour! Bear in mind that Thailand possess zero historical experience of Jews and has not been subject to the spread of anti-Semitism. No – this reaction is a direct response to the criminal behaviour of the typical Israeli visitor. It is a Buddhist reflection of material reality. ACW (4.11.2025)
‘No Israel’ signs spread across Thai islands amid backlash over Israeli misconduct
Restaurant owners and local businesses on Thailand’s southern islands have begun openly rejecting Israeli tourists over what they describe as repeated misconduct, cultural disrespect, and unlicensed commercial activity.
On Koh Phangan, a popular resort destination, one restaurant owner who banned Israeli customers said he received thousands of retaliatory negative reviews online, prompting him to post a “No Israel” sign at his venue. Similar signs and incidents have since spread across the island.
Videos circulating on Thai social media show confrontations between locals and Israelis, including one viral exchange where a restaurant worker told an Israeli tourist, “You’re not welcome here,” and she replied, “My money builds your country.”
Local officials confirmed rising concern over Israelis operating illegal businesses, including restaurants and tour agencies. A petition signed by over 200 residents was submitted to Surat Thani’s governor calling for restrictions on “Israeli activities causing distress to local communities.”
Thailand’s Immigration Bureau says Israelis now form the largest foreign group under investigation for unauthorized business operations, with more than 2,600 visa extensions filed on Koh Phangan alone.
