I do not believe the protest against Israel is about Gaza at all.
Key facts
- They did not mobilise when Hamas killed more than 40 Thais during the October 2023 attack or when Iran killed three Thai sailors
- Gaza was added to broaden the movement’s appeal and give a human-rights cover to a campaign driven by nationalism and domestic Thai politics.
- He warned of a broader protest if the Election Commission cleared or limited the cases against the 229 Senate collusion suspects.
- At his September 7 press conference, Sondhi said his planned statement would hurt “Jews”
Summary
Gaza was added to broaden the movement’s appeal and give a human-rights cover to a campaign driven by nationalism and domestic Thai politics.
The leaders’ records make that clear.
