The post is probably false. It says that Thailand is banning Israelis from the country due to the behavior of Israeli tourists. This is false but their reputation is legendary. They’re been thrown out of 109 countries so far. So is Thailand about to be 110? If they’ve been acting like this for a long time, no wonder they got thrown out.
However this isn’t really antisemitism. Many people say that compared to Israelis, US Jews act like angels. Generally good behavior noted in most places. I did hear one report of bad behavior, but they seemed to be Orthodox Jews from New York.
Israelis are already banned from Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. All of these are Muslim countries.

They need to be taught to respect others…how this simple thing is not instilled in them is beyond imagination! Every other race and people on Earth have a level of respect for others…I just do not get it other than the fact there is never accountability.
We in the US are responsible for this super-entitled behavior because WE SUBSIDIZE THEM. Free health care, free higher education, tons of $$$ from struggling US taxpayers every year. NEEDS TO STOP.
The Jewish State since the late 1940’s has been rife w/ anger, retribution, revenge, etc.
I lived in 7 countries and visited roughly 100. Every hotel and restaurant owner says the same - Israelis are the WORST tourists. Travel in bulks 20+ before joining the military and are pure cancer. Seen it myself several times.
My in-laws own a hotel in Austria - guess who they say their worst guests are, by far? One of them tried stealing a rug from their room (It was already in their suitcase!) and went on an antisemitism rant when being confronted about it.
They are the worst at auto shows - no respect - they let their kids do anything and feel entitled.
Israeli tourists were also known for poor behavior in Medellin as well.
The ones that travel in groups are almost always hated by staff and other tourists. They sit in their own groups and don't bother hanging out with the locals or any other tourists. Saw this in Mexico and virtually all of S. America.*
They cause problems everywhere they go. Easiest solution - ban them from entering your country.
They are the scum of the earth. I've been told horrible stories about Israelis from Thai sources including a story about how a group of Israelis trafficked children and recorded themselves attacking and raping women. Disgusting!
Funny, stayed at a resort in Koh Samui which happened to be 3/4 Israeli holiday goers…At the time was predisposed to think highly of them - notion quickly dismissed.
When backpacking in Patagonia, I came across young Israelis in youth hostels. One group made a mess in the kitchen and didn't clean up. At another hostel, the dorm stank of backpacker socks. I had to argue to open a window. As a Jew, I wasn't impressed with my Israeli brothers.
They get in fights with the locals and ladyboys in Thailand all the time. If you start a fight with a Thai, it’s him and his 14 mates. But Israeli tourists have long had a bad reputation in Thailand, it’s true.
That was my experience on the road in the 1990's. It’s their insolence that is most intolerable.
The problem is the 90 day tourist visa. They act entitled and make the locals feel subservient. If Thailand changed their visa to 30 days, the situation would quickly be different.
As someone who has lived in Thailand with my family for close to 35 years I can vouch for the fact that Israelis visiting Thailand are generally obnoxious and behave disgustingly.
I remember 40 years ago going to South East Asia traveling and singularly the worst travelers were the Israelis. They were rude, arrogant and treated the locals like servants. It was hell and I wondered why they weren't banned from these countries! It’s time!
I saw the behavior of Israeli tourists in Argentina and Chile...they were loud, arrogant, aggressive and entitled! They were disliked there.
I was in Phi Phi in 2008. Chatting an English guy running a bar there. I knew nothing of them or Gaza back then, and he said pretty much the same. Horrible entitled people. Met a good few of them there and the attitude described here was prevalent.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand, and this is true. Not all Israelis, true, but the majority of them are like this. They get out of the army and travel in SE Asia in groups. I’ve witnessed them being very rude and aggressive to the locals, having trance parties in hotels, etc.
Cyprus is having the same issues already. Technically, non-EU citizens are only allowed to remain for maximum 90 days in any 180, so of course they will overstay. I get so many calls from people there who say Israeli behavior is feral and rude.
In Brazil they do the same. Terrible!!
They really are so rude and treat locals like shit. There was a group in a local town (Wales), and their behavior on the buses and in the street was abhorrent. Complete and total disrespect. I couldn't believe the audacity. It was the first time I saw it first hand.
The charming gang of IDF in my hotel in Kos, Thailand, in the early 00’s were horrific. Let's just say they don't like women telling them no and got very aggressive.
They have exactly this reputation in South America, especially those who have just finished military service and then travel, where they treat people as they treat Palestinians.
Facts. Some independent Thai hotels have signs on the doors saying they won't serve Israelis. And that was in 2010...
I was in Israel in the early 90s, and I can honestly say they are the most obnoxious wankers I've ever come across. Sure, some of them are just fine, but on the whole, awful people.
Same attitude in The Philippines. Originally welcomed as tourists, they quickly became despised because of their behavior.
This is how every Israeli acts in Vegas. Local Jewish people are the complete opposite.
A German Christian colleague who visited the Holy Land years ago came back completely disappointed and disillusioned. He said he had never seen - nor could he have imagined - creatures so arrogant, unfriendly, and malicious like Israelis. Everyone knew it deep down all the time.
So true. They are disgusting, the way the behave and treat the staff. I’ve seen them in Miami and in Thailand.
I was in Thailand at the end of last year. There were a lot of Israelis; they treated Thais badly. They have places for them; I saw many in Phuket. They think they own the world, yell, touch women, and fight with workers.
In Asia, they refuse to remove their shoes when it's well known that inside of a home, you remove your shoes in Asia.
The Israeli kids in my class were the most evil kids I've ever met.
They do behave appallingly in Thailand. I had a water park there. They would come to me and demand their children be allowed to use it for free because they were 'Israeli'.
I just came back from Cyprus and there was Israeli tourists there and there behaved like animals - spitting just shocking behavior.
And let me tell you, 99% of Thais were hugely sympathetic to Israel after Hamas attacked Israel. They have ruined the goodwill themselves.
If Thailand says it, it’s true. All I ever see is Israeli men getting in brawls and being entitled crybaby’s in every country they visit.
Peruvians and Bolivians say the same. They're super annoying. I've witnessed it.
Same in Dubai, Greece, Spain, and at European football matches. The USA, UK, and EU created an untouchable rabid dog that is out of control.
Hotel owner in Phillipines here. 100% without a doubt...
They are a vile people and their success with the current genocide they are committing has emboldened them…
I have no agenda but my experience of Israelis in Thailand completely aligns with the Thais. Deeply unpleasant people, and fucking hairy!
I was just in Thailand and I saw the locals have no problems with ANYONE, expect on one day I saw a few Thais who owned a shop having a heated argument with a group of tourists...turns out they were Israelis.
They are disgusting animals. This not new. They have behaved like this for years.
That claim of gang rape by several Israelis of an English woman in Cyprus that officials pressed her to recant was not a good look!
Sri Lanka facing the same situation. They are taking over local business on tourist visas and propping up Chabad houses with no authority.
*I’ve seen this too. They won’t even talk to you unless you’re Jewish. If you’re not Jewish, they treat you like a ghost.

This is all about entitlement and unaccountability. Sorry to say there is a massive crossover with Jewish supremacy, where the Jewish people who believe in "Israel's" supremacy behave in a similar entitled way - it's Jewish supremacy that needs to be stamped out.
