» Re: "Thailand's delicate stance with Israel", (Opinion, Dec 9). As a Jew living in Thailand for over 20 years, I must admit I was not happy with what I read. Indeed, found a number of statements to be offensive: The second paragraph implies that Israel's response to the terrorist attack on Oct 7, 2023, was "genocide" -- a term coined in 1944 to describe Hitler's campaign to exterminate all European Jews, and defined as "the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group".

» Re: "Rising heat needs urgent response", (Opinion, Nov 24). After repeating the obligatory but egregiously false lie that this year was the hottest on record, the UN climate alarmists claim, "By 2060, under a high-emissions scenario, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mongolia, Myanmar, Turkey and Uzbekistan could lose more than 70% of their glacier mass. These phenomena also add to sea-level rise, raising existential risks for some countries in the Pacific."

» Re: "The baht's troubling rise", (Editorial, Sept 22). It is much discussed in the media and on social media about the mysterious inflow of money that causes the Thai baht to strengthen. Accounting-wise, the inflow is recorded as "Errors and Omissions". Even the finance minister-to-be said that he would have a discussion with the Bank of Thailand (BoT) about the issue. It is feared that the inflow is grey money.

» Re: "Setting a short-term target", (Business, Sept 15) & "Govt's ambitious land bridge project puts residents at risk", (BP, Aug 29). The Kra Canal or Land Bridge project is in the spotlight once again. No matter what critics and proponents of the project may say, the fact of the matter is that the project is neither appealing to businesses nor financially feasible.
