There may be no limit to the expansion of the current conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. From Declan Hayes at strategic-culture.su:
As the slaughter in Gaza continues, the Royal Thai Air Force is emerging yet again as the only adult in the room.
As the slaughter in Gaza continues, the Royal Thai Air Force is emerging yet again as the only adult in the room. Although the Royal Thai Air Force currently has six planes on standby to evacuate Thai citizens currently stranded in Israel, the hope has to be that Thailand will also help to evacuate the citizens of the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Nepal from the further carnage that beckons.
As ten Nepali students have already been martyred and as an indeterminate number are currently held hostage, the civilised world would greatly appreciate such a gesture from Thailand, which has seen twelve of its own citizens wantonly martyred. Although the Philippines has a navy equivalent to that of Thailand, as they are currently a lapdog of the Americans, tasked with helping bring down the Chinese dragon, their presence off the Israeli/Palestinian coast would only further escalate an already tense situation.
That said, the citizens of the Philippines are as much victims of this war as are those of Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal. As Israel recruits these unfortunates to work for buttons under very strict visa conditions in a small number of designated areas, fruit and vegetable picking and caring for elderly Zionists in the main, they are qualitatively different from those the Gazans attacked and, indeed, from the Gazans themselves, whom Israel’s leaders believe are “human animals”, whatever strange cross breed that is in the multicultural utopia that is modern Israel.
Because they and their families back home in Asia are indisputably victims of economic circumstances, these citizens of Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Nepal should and must be differentiated from the dual Israeli citizens, several of whom were also captured or killed. As over 10% of Israelis possess a second (Western) passport, their casualties are not significant statistical outliers and so, like so many other victims, are largely outside the scope of this article.
