The whole "god's chosen people" really fucks a society up apparently. My side of the street did those darn crusades a while back. The neighbors had a whole inquisition.

If you have a better way to initiate the second coming of Christ to spirit the faithful to heaven and drown the world in lakes of blood and fire, we'd like to hear it. It's easy to just criticize. /s

I'm working on it. Better to build the kingdom of heaven here on earth though

Too late. It already happened. World ended, new one took over. Second coming happened as well.

Thailand should ban Israel from entering its country.

Thanks for posting this. I am surprised to see this in a south chinese paper, how does that work? Maybe they are ok on this issue because the US is the adversary I suspect. I am unfamiliar with this Chinese paper.

The Israelis are apparently notoriously the worst tourists I have been told, often beating up locals and abusing them and acting with the arrogance that comes with their country holding blackmail on western political leaders. I think there was a recent case in Argentina as such.

Now, we can be sure the US is going to demand Thailand abuse these protesters and their organizer. Let's see how craven the Thai government is. They are especially vulnerable to US pressure with this thing with Cambodia still warm.
