The land of the lady boy and Tom Yam sure is an interesting place. Also, the online space was pouring with hate towards the Israelis, especially since the country is at war with Palestine.
According to Ayna Ad-Dhuha, the Israelist brought problems wherever they went.
“They are murderers, rapists, you name it,” said Reformati! while netizen hey you yay sarcastically said, “The chosen people of God?”
But how could it possible be rape if those women were promised to them by god as claimed by Syafiq Adli.
“Recently, three Israelis were beaten up by a group of lady boys,” said another netizen, hinting that perhaps even the superior Jews may have found their match against men in skirt, lipstick and painted nails. Never underestimate the power of women.
“These people even have a village at Pai, north of Thailand,” said one netizen.
Riki Saputra, however, cautioned that the news has since identified the perpetrators as German and Turkish.
Away from the hearsay, news portal The Nation reported that two Germans and one Turkish national attempted to rape two Finnish women in their hotel room.
The suspects were identified as Germany nationals Aksu Cemre Can, 30, and Aksu Ali Cem, 22, and Turkish national Yanyana Salman, 23.
The injured Russian tourist, identified as 44-year-old Aleksandr Belinskii, suffered injuries to his face as he fought the three attackers who allegedly tried to rape the women during the wee hours of Saturday.
The three suspects have since been taken to Patong Police Station for the legal process. —Mar 12, 2025
