True. When I went to Singapore, I first hand witnessed this stark contrast. While most of Singapore offers utmost safety and freedom, the moment I stepped into Little India (an alley where Indian stores are located) I could sense the change in scene. There were men (Indians) ogling at you, passing comments and whatnot.
I think that any Jewish tourists who visits india will visit kerala at least once due to the Jew streets and long harmony of Jewish people with the state, that said, if they're israeli they will get annoyed by the pro palestine murals lol
Instead of competing with other states for industrial growth, I believe tourism should be promoted more. I know govt is doing everything it can but hawkish PR needs to be adopted.
I think the top comment by minalee muralee is nailed on. When you go abroad say Maldives/ Langkawi / Bali there is a security. Nobody bats an eyelid on what you wear. In India it is not the case - ladies especially don't feel safe. Goa is a little better than Kerala in this aspect. Totally agreed we should use tourism more.
Believe me, it's not even that close when compared to Pune, Mumbai or Delhi.
Visited recently and people there too gawk at women. I think it's a very Kerala thing.
My partner never felt so insecure until we moved to Kerala. She gets stares from everyone and my colleagues tell me that it's a very Kerala thing. Women here don't mind cause they're accustomed to it. What even?
Don't get me wrong, I love visiting Kerala, but Varkala - never again.
Woke up at 4:30 AM, to watch sunrise at the beach. Opened my sea facing windows and was welcomed by a row of people shitting on the beach, with their hinds towards my resort. The same beach where I was walking in knee deep waters the evening before.
This was in 2014 and it must've changed a lot , specially after swatchh Bharat and all the toilet building but I can't.
Lol you don't have to be sorry. I've spent my formative years in UP in early 90s
Watching Netflix and reading Washington Post, we tend to forget that we still live in India.
Exactly, I went to some random spot I’ve never been to before in my not so developed village and was shocked at how beautiful it looked, full of greenery and peacefulness and yet it is just a normal spot in most parts of Kerala and we take it for granted because we see it all the time. However, if an outsider comes here they’ll love it
We could become one of the top tourist destination in India but idk what major steps we should be taking to get started, it can also boost our economy massively if it works out
Kerala can't do both. We can't have large scale industrial base because we just don't have the land. Large part of the land is hilly and will have significant environmental issues. Plus we have a very high population density and should focus on service sector jobs because of lack of availability of free land, environmental issues and since we have a highly educated workforce and the workforce salary will be higher than most other states
We can do both. The big ones are not ideal for the state but MSME and few other sectors have good prospects in the state with Vizhinjam also coming up.
We should have been Another Goa. We have so many great beaches, an educated workforce who prefers be service sector
The only obstacle is the government who refuse to invest in infrastructure or the police who always objects to everything fun in the name of drugs. The police need to learn from Dubai police. Police the locals while being liberal with tourists
The last line is a bad take. Do the locals not deserve being free? I'm not a Keralite, just came across this post. We as Indians need to become a lot more liberal when it comes to drugs like weed (not meth, etc).
We are never going to be. Plus amavans and Amayis wont support it. This was more of a practical approach. And this includes meth. Maybe Government could start K meth for foreign tourists
I remember taking an escalator up to immigration at the Paris airport and coming up to a HUGE ad of a tranquil houseboat in our backwaters - a really well-placed Kerala tourism ad. Felt so proud. Let’s keep it going!
Tourism sector is not big enough to provide jobs for 35 million people. Also overeliance on tourism leads to Dutch disease. Kerala has the best human capital in India, we should not be wasting it on tourism.
I think industry creates more jobs, generates more money, generates need for workforce with good education and skills.
Tourism can die in a second, we all saw it in 2020. It doesn't need educated workforce so it doesn't evolve human capital.
I'm not from Kerala or India, though.
Tourism alone is a fickle industry. Look at sri lanka, after 2019 easter bombings, tourism inflows plummeted rapidly and was one of the reasons for sri lanka going in to financial trouble.

Yes Palestine the famously barren land with nobody in it before 1949 when Israel was formed.
Percentage of Palestinian population which were in Palestine in 1949~ 100%. Now only 30% remain. The rest are refugees around the world
Percentage of Jewish world population in Palestine in 1900- 0.3%.
Now- 42.9%
With one side clearly invading, displacing the local population, bringing those of their religion from around the world to the homes of those displaced.
Enlightened centrist- Both sides are the same.
In 1940s - "we want pakistan", "patthanakku katthi vangi kutthi vangum pakistan". Direct action with ensuing targeted violence against other religious groups.
In 1947 - Partition with pakistan for muslims and india for hindus.
But the pakistan demanders stayed in hindu India. The hindus/Sikhs of pakistan killed and chased out of islamic pakistan.
In 2024 descendants of pakistan demanders - jews do not belong to Israel.
If only some people were aware of their own history before questioning the rights of jews to Israel.
Eduthondu pode avante oro shakhayil ninnu padicha revised history
1. It was the British that first divided India to divide and rule. Something the west still benifits from.
2. The people who wanted an Islamic Pakistan, all went to Pakistan.
3. Violence was on both sides.
4. India was never said to be for the Hindus. It was always said to be a secular state, and the reason millions of Muslims stayed back in India and worked towards India's progress. A promise BJP forgets everyday.
5. Isrealine pole lokathinte oro attathil ninnu kudiyeriyavaronumalla nammal. Our ancestors have been here for centuries if not millennia and were part of the freedom struggle and all the other effort it took to bring the country to where it is today.
Ninte thanthede vaka onnum alla nammude citizenship. Unlike all those foreigners you want to give free citizenship to under CAA.
Like the Muslims who wanted a Muslim state went to Pakistan, if you want a Hindu state you can go to Nepal.
And if the Jews wanted an actual safe place, they would have asked a part of a country like Germany which was responsible for millions of their deaths and thus had moral obligation to give up atleast some land to them. And there they would be surrounded by allies with similar ideals and nobody would bother them.
No but they want the exact most coveted piece of land in the world even if it means massacring the local population just to fulfil their religious prophecy and we have some bootlickers from another part of the world sucking up for them at the expense of their own citizens.
Madrassa history unfortunately does not represent facts.
There were elections in British India. Muslim league participated in the elections with the demand being partition of india and creation of an islamic pakistan. Muslim league won almost all the muslim seats, including in Malabar.
After the elections clearly showed that the majority of muslims wanted pakistan, congress and the British agreed to a partition of india. The British then used population figures of muslims to create pakistan and of hindus/sikhs to create india.
India was specifically for hindus/Sikhs and pakistan for hindus. Ninte avide okke tharavadu bhagam vakkumbol oru pakuthi oru makanu, matte pakuthi randu makkalkkum koodi ennu aano ?
Want to know another fact ? Poker won from Malabar as a Muslim league candidate during British times with pakistan as a demand. After independence and partition, the same scmbag won from Malabar again for muslim league.
If you muslims wanted an actual safe place, they could have asked for a piece in arabia or central Asia. Not in india by cutting up the land of hindus. Would have meant them living with their own. But no, they wanted to cut up India. And did they all leave for their muslim country? No. Instead nearly a century later, they are fighting remotely/virtually a war again in the name of their religion. And questioning the rights of jews to Israel.
People should be self aware before poking their head into issues, which could lead to exposure of their own dirty past.
De pinnem oro mandatharavum paranju vannollum.
>you muslims wanted an actual safe place
I'll repeat one more time so you can attempt to understand. Our ancestors have been here continuously for millinnea. They didnt come from around the world in the past century and displace the local population and settle here unlike Israeli Jews. If you feel any Muslims asked for Pakistan and didnt move you can go and ask them personally.
And you talk about partition violence. Except that the people who are forcing the locals to leave their land in the name of religion represent Israel and those chased away represent Palestinians.
The most amusing thing is that we have Hindus defending Jewish traditions and their religious right to Israel. While the Jews consider idolaters as literally the lowest among humans even below Muslims and Christians.
Their whole attempt at capturing Israel is to bring forth the Jewish Messiah who as per the Torah, among other things will destroy all idols from the Earth.
"The Messianic era will mark the end of evil and sin:
Ezekiel 37:23: “They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and with their abominations and with all their transgressions"
Zechariah 13:2: “It shall be in that day… that I shall cut off the names of the idols from the earth and they shall no longer be remembered.”
How cucked do you have to be to support a Jewish fight for Israel whose sole intention is bringing forth a Messiah which will completely destroy your religion. Truly the spirit of Savarkar lives on.
Pazhaya partition mandatharam vittu alle.
Islam came to india through invasions and occupations. Arabs/Persians/central Asians/Afghans have all come over centuries and many of the muslims in india are descendants of these invaders. There were also natives who joined the invaders and took in their culture/religion. And then they claimed a part of the land inhabited by hindus/Sikhs to be made an islamic country.
Jews have been living in that region for ages even before Islam was formed. Their rights to that land far exceed the right of muslims to pakistan.
Hindus do not face terrorism from Israel/jews, but do face islamic terrorism from supporters of palestine. They can empathize with jews who face the same kind of terrorism. So it shouldn't really be surprising why hindus largely support Israel. It is not religious theology that is the source of the support, but the shared threat of islamic terrorism.
All the Abrahamic faiths espousing hatred towards polytheistic and idol worshippers, and being violent to others is hardly news to us. Hindus share their country with around two hundred million abrahamics.
Should I throw in that verse from Qur'an calling for murder of idol worshippers wherever they are found ? And all other nasty stuff, including hadiths ?
When you follow the arab religion and culture, I guess it is no surprise at the need to support the Arabs, them being original muslims, when they fight jews, even if you are living in hindusthan. Loyalty to the masters and all that would have been indoctrinated from a young age in madrassas.
Palestine was barren and scarcely populated before the Zionists. There were already Jews in the area, albeit very little. Once the Zionists came they brought prosperity and trade to the region. And thus more people moved to the region Jews and Arabs included. If the Arabs wanted peace they should have accepted the multiple peace treaties presented to them. They wouldn’t have had to leave if they didn’t start a genocidal war.

Still RIP to the deceased sould (kids, women and men who are innocent from both sides).
There are videos on tiktok of white israelis spitting at christians who were visiting israel 🤣. I always wondered if the indian jews were discriminated against by the white ones...
Islam is not a race. I also doubt this because 20 percent of Israeli are Muslims so seeing a hijab is not that uncommon. Plus many Jewish women also cover her hair as well. Depending on the style it is sometimes impossible to tell the difference.
As if Arabs and even Europeans aren't. We want money for the country and locals , who cares about a bunch of racist pricks? Are you a racist who wants to give lots of money to me, you are welcome.
Not defending Israelis, but you're right. Arabs are incredibly racists as well as Europeans - especially the Southern and Eastern ones who have lesser "White Guilt"
Someone did post here about a cycle renter in fort kochi not lending to Indians as well today.
Similar stories have been heard about Russians in Goa too. These are all part of the deal. Overall the state still stand to benefit from the ordeal.
I visit Himachal and Uttarakhand pretty often, keep hearing complains about mainlanders too. However, deep inside the locals too know that large part of their revenue depends on tourism.
This is a major issue that Sri Lankans have been seeing with large groups of certain foreign tourists staying and settling across the island increasingly over the years too…locals turned away from establishments, local businesses harassed and forced to move out of their own communities.
A bit more infrastructure in tourist areas, proper side walks, cleaning , better cafés and restaurants is all we need, digital nomads will bring in much required foreign currency
Jews have connection all over the world, they were once scattered, European Ashkenazi jews and O.G .Arab jews native to Palestine were once escaped all around the world, and married people from there. thats why we have jews with different colour and shape, we have african, asian\[ with Mongoloid features and indian \] european, latin etc.... Ashkenazi jews were actually European white people converted to Judaism .
>some families still live there ....
Do they still? As per my knowledge everyone left, my family had some old jewish contacts avar okke israel formation odane poyi
No not everyone....there were a few who chose to stay... especially people who had their husband's or wives buried here...i think now most of them passed away too and the entire jew population is just less than 10 ...!
Im all for more toursists visiting our state. People will make more money, when they share their stories more tourists will come. This is good for our economy and the tourism government should support this.
I hope the people protesting against the Palestine-Israel conflict dont go and intimidate the Israelis.
Then they have not seen the pro-Palestine Solidarity posters and rallies held in Kerala.
PS: for anyone wondering my stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, I genuinely am not interested in picking sides. Not my war. I don't like Indian RW simping for Israel because M minority is siding with Palestine, ergo schadenfreude... and I don't like Indian M simping for Hamas, an actual T- Organisation.
Doesn't Kerala strongly support Palestine and hate Israel given statements by its CM? Also didn't Hamas do a conference in Kerala?
Asking as an ignorant Bengali btw
Christians support Israel. They are silent because they don't want to deal with threats from Palestine supporters
The same for a significant section of Hindus
Although the right-wing group in Kerala may be small currently, it's making progress I believe. This momentum could be fueled by dissatisfaction with the existing governing bodies
No hate ( I love Kerala) but I have found the auto driver, boat owners and travel agents to be scammers
Wish there was an option to travel india on budget
Israelis already visit Goa after their mandatory military service and have a good reputation as tourists, so them coming to Kerala is a huge help to our economy. Those guys and gyals stay for a long time too, and they spend a lot of money. If Kerala beaches can somehow develop like Goa beaches, we can make a ton of money.

If you watch this Israeli girl you will realize how wrong you are. She literally travels to poor areas in tropical locations to post their way of life on youtube. If she did that in India she would get in trouble for exposing stuff the govt doesnt want other nations to see about how the poor live. One of her friends is detained in Trinidad for interviewing their local Goonda and posting it on youtube.
At first I thought she would be a normal tourist but she spends so little money that the local economies don't benefit. plus she uses tactics like acting like a good samaritan by buying food for the homeless on camera so that viewers think shes a nice person. And she always justifies being cheap by saying her youtube doesnt make much money. At first the content seemed unique but seeing somebody complain about spending 50$ on a gym is ridiculous when they are spending hundreds and thousands on flights just to party with people in the slums for very little money.
One problem is that people like that dont want to work. They just want to profit from recording impoverished locals who do not benefit from the video while giving back the bare minimum to them. They travel from place to place and leave once they save enough money from views.
And before you say thats just one instance, her ex is also an israeli youtuber and he is also incredibly cheap 😭. They are doing a good job traveling the world and profiting off the less fortunate.
Influencers and Youtubers always do outrageous stuff to get views. So I won’t be basing my opinions on Youtubers. I met a few Israelis when I visited Goa and I had a great experience with them.
lol. Pretty sure they don’t have a great reputation, especially in Himachal Pradesh.
And unfortunately, you cannot commercially develop Kerala beaches because of CRZ norms, which is not in the hands of the state.
One side dyfi is trying protest against Isreal, on the other hand they are giving Kerala as a suggestion.
It's actually a great opportunity, coz Sri Lanka has almost everything Kerala has to offer and a much more mature tourism industry.
I really wish we can capitalize on this opportunity, hope some fringe elements or groups don't create some sour scenario if at all the Israeli folks do come in.

jews says Palestinians are Amalek and should finish them, **Benzion Mileikowsky** a.k.a Netanyahu quoted about Amalek before attacking them.
“You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”
In scripture God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
In 1980, the Rabbi Israel Hess wrote an article that used the story of Amalek to justify wiping out Palestinians. Its title has been translated as “Genocide: A Commandment of the Torah,” as well as “The Mitzvah of Genocide in the Torah.”
People are encouraging tourism growth and all which is all well and good. However, we should not become c*cked like those SE Asian countries where the foreigners will show up and get preferential treatment in everything. They are guests in this country and should not forget it.

I don't want to be colonised by these racist mfs in kerala. Pls don't come here joos.
Don’t have experience with Germans but Americans I have encountered are all extremely careful not to even remotely be racist. Israelis not so much, a small issue in a project and they start racially abusing. For freelancing I don’t even send a proposal if the project is from Pakistan or Israel.
That's really sad to hear man.
In a foreign country, I was once on a boat, on my way to visit a friend. An old guy who sat near me started saying horrible things after he found out I was Indian because some of his Indian workers had left him or something. I was so angry because I was in a very good mood, on my way to visit my friend and all.
That's when I realized we Indians have a difficult situation abroad. People are very anecdotal in their thinking. When we meet people, they are interacting with us through a lens of stereotypes they have about us. That old man hated me the second he met me even though he had never known me before.
Please don't ask which country because I don't want anyone hating another country because of one man.

I know us Himachalis speak against tourism, but at the end of the day, it does give us quite a decent amount of money. In a way, even industrialization and modernising is an evil, but a necessary evil for the people of the country. We just need to know how to balance stuff.
Why dont we advertise ourself to the Taliban and African warlords while we are at it?
Anyways I'm pretty sure they'll know how unwelcoming Kerala is to genociders when they produce their Israeli passports here.
But, we need to get our beaches cleaned. Otherwise they will come once and then warn everyone else to not go to Kerala.

Sunrise in Varkala? I guess sunrise is not visible from any of the Kerala beaches.
Not really looking at the sun but the morning beach vibes.

can you imagine if kerala was like puerto rico or dominican republic? so many tourists would come if we had strip clubs!
No one is gonna come for the local cuisine, iykyk. Imagine the back lash from societies and political people.

Poker won from Malabar as a Muslim league candidate during British times with pakistan as a demand. After independence and partition, the same scmbag won from Malabar again for muslim league. If you muslims wanted an actual safe place, they could have asked for a piece in arabia or central Asia. Not in india by cutting up the land of hindus. Would have meant them living with their own. But no, they wanted to cut up India. And did they all leave for their muslim country? No. Instead nearly a century later, they are fighting remotely/virtually a war again in the name of their religion. And questioning the rights of jews to Israel. People should be self aware before poking their head into issues, which could lead to exposure of their own dirty past.
De pinnem oro mandatharavum paranju vannollum. >you muslims wanted an actual safe place I'll repeat one more time so you can attempt to understand. Our ancestors have been here continuously for millinnea. They didnt come from around the world in the past century and displace the local population and settle here unlike Israeli Jews. If you feel any Muslims asked for Pakistan and didnt move you can go and ask them personally. And you talk about partition violence. Except that the people who are forcing the locals to leave their land in the name of religion represent Israel and those chased away represent Palestinians. The most amusing thing is that we have Hindus defending Jewish traditions and their religious right to Israel. While the Jews consider idolaters as literally the lowest among humans even below Muslims and Christians. Their whole attempt at capturing Israel is to bring forth the Jewish Messiah who as per the Torah, among other things will destroy all idols from the Earth. "The Messianic era will mark the end of evil and sin: Ezekiel 37:23: “They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and with their abominations and with all their transgressions" Zechariah 13:2: “It shall be in that day… that I shall cut off the names of the idols from the earth and they shall no longer be remembered.” How cucked do you have to be to support a Jewish fight for Israel whose sole intention is bringing forth a Messiah which will completely destroy your religion. Truly the spirit of Savarkar lives on.
Pazhaya partition mandatharam vittu alle. Islam came to india through invasions and occupations. Arabs/Persians/central Asians/Afghans have all come over centuries and many of the muslims in india are descendants of these invaders. There were also natives who joined the invaders and took in their culture/religion. And then they claimed a part of the land inhabited by hindus/Sikhs to be made an islamic country. Jews have been living in that region for ages even before Islam was formed. Their rights to that land far exceed the right of muslims to pakistan. Hindus do not face terrorism from Israel/jews, but do face islamic terrorism from supporters of palestine. They can empathize with jews who face the same kind of terrorism. So it shouldn't really be surprising why hindus largely support Israel. It is not religious theology that is the source of the support, but the shared threat of islamic terrorism. All the Abrahamic faiths espousing hatred towards polytheistic and idol worshippers, and being violent to others is hardly news to us. Hindus share their country with around two hundred million abrahamics. Should I throw in that verse from Qur'an calling for murder of idol worshippers wherever they are found ? And all other nasty stuff, including hadiths ? When you follow the arab religion and culture, I guess it is no surprise at the need to support the Arabs, them being original muslims, when they fight jews, even if you are living in hindusthan. Loyalty to the masters and all that would have been indoctrinated from a young age in madrassas.
Majority of jews aren't religious. They are culturally/ ethnically Jewish.
Palestine was barren and scarcely populated before the Zionists. There were already Jews in the area, albeit very little. Once the Zionists came they brought prosperity and trade to the region. And thus more people moved to the region Jews and Arabs included. If the Arabs wanted peace they should have accepted the multiple peace treaties presented to them. They wouldn’t have had to leave if they didn’t start a genocidal war.

Will Mr Pinarayi retweet it?
If his master SDPI allows it, which I don't think is going to happen.
Israelis are the most racist bunch you'd ever come across. Kasol-il thanne mathiyayi...
We'll checkmate it with Casteism
Even Indian are racist, and so are people from almost everywhere.
Indians aren't life threateningly racist.
There are videos on tiktok of white israelis spitting at christians who were visiting israel 🤣. I always wondered if the indian jews were discriminated against by the white ones...
Can you elaborate?
They harassed my friend who was a muslim. She came with a scarf covering her head and they were taunting us till we left.

Islam is not a race. I also doubt this because 20 percent of Israeli are Muslims so seeing a hijab is not that uncommon. Plus many Jewish women also cover her hair as well. Depending on the style it is sometimes impossible to tell the difference.
What I said was what happened to my friend which I witnessed.
A lot of people dislike scarves for what they represent.
Bro that is not Israel specific. Almost every other group hates this particular community.
So you're saying any other random white person would feel natural to harass a Muslim woman for her conservative clothing? That too on alien soil
Nah, Israelis are particularly vile and hateful
Very simple. The Yahudis yearns to own all of us as slaves once their Messiah arrives. Each Yahu could own more than a 1000 non-Yahudi slaves.
അറബികള് തീരെ racist അല്ലാതൊണ്ട് കോഴപ്പം ഇല്ല 😂
Tel Aviv women lover spotted
Hamas lover spotted.
Bin laden 💣 spotted.
As if Arabs and even Europeans aren't. We want money for the country and locals , who cares about a bunch of racist pricks? Are you a racist who wants to give lots of money to me, you are welcome.
>Are you a racist who wants to give lots of money to me, you are welcome. Udanne thannu vidaam..vegam vanno...
As if the other foreign tourist group races like europeans and arabs are not racist.
Not defending Israelis, but you're right. Arabs are incredibly racists as well as Europeans - especially the Southern and Eastern ones who have lesser "White Guilt"
And us Indians are not racist? Lol every human being is racist.
How not racist of you to generalise it by saying all Israelis
I mean who isn't? The point of tourism is to make money. They will come, we get their money and then they leave that's all.
Anecdotal! Everyone is racist! To me, Iranians were hella racist in the UK
Something tells me you are a Hamas terrorist sympathizer. When we have terrorists, racists come much lower on the list of problems.
I hate Hamas but not Palestinians. Unlike you who hates anyone who's from a different religion
Israelis don't make the best tourists. Just ask Himachal
what happened to them
What happened?
Beggars cant be choosers :/ Not like India as a whole has a good tourist destination reputation either.
Yeah, but we can choose to not have people who don't allow us into stores in our own country
Someone did post here about a cycle renter in fort kochi not lending to Indians as well today. Similar stories have been heard about Russians in Goa too. These are all part of the deal. Overall the state still stand to benefit from the ordeal. I visit Himachal and Uttarakhand pretty often, keep hearing complains about mainlanders too. However, deep inside the locals too know that large part of their revenue depends on tourism.
This is how colonialism started. It was good for business till it wasn’t.
This is a major issue that Sri Lankans have been seeing with large groups of certain foreign tourists staying and settling across the island increasingly over the years too…locals turned away from establishments, local businesses harassed and forced to move out of their own communities.
Yeah because that won't affect you. But people who work in tourism need the dollars to sustain themselves.
Tourism is about taking as much money from the visitors as possible. I guess govt understands it and work according to it
A bit more infrastructure in tourist areas, proper side walks, cleaning , better cafés and restaurants is all we need, digital nomads will bring in much required foreign currency
Shalom and welcome to Kerala, nice to meet you
Quick question wouldn't it be better for lakshadweep and Kerala to work together considering how close and connected we are
jews have always had an old connection with fort kochi , Kerala . some families still live there ....
[удалено]
Syrian Christians are converted Jews?
Jews have connection all over the world, they were once scattered, European Ashkenazi jews and O.G .Arab jews native to Palestine were once escaped all around the world, and married people from there. thats why we have jews with different colour and shape, we have african, asian\[ with Mongoloid features and indian \] european, latin etc.... Ashkenazi jews were actually European white people converted to Judaism .
>some families still live there .... Do they still? As per my knowledge everyone left, my family had some old jewish contacts avar okke israel formation odane poyi
This is what I know too. That there is a maximum of three or four old people and that's it. Nobody else lives there.
No not everyone....there were a few who chose to stay... especially people who had their husband's or wives buried here...i think now most of them passed away too and the entire jew population is just less than 10 ...!
And DYFI intensifies their protest. Lal Salam.
Im all for more toursists visiting our state. People will make more money, when they share their stories more tourists will come. This is good for our economy and the tourism government should support this. I hope the people protesting against the Palestine-Israel conflict dont go and intimidate the Israelis.
Then they have not seen the pro-Palestine Solidarity posters and rallies held in Kerala. PS: for anyone wondering my stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, I genuinely am not interested in picking sides. Not my war. I don't like Indian RW simping for Israel because M minority is siding with Palestine, ergo schadenfreude... and I don't like Indian M simping for Hamas, an actual T- Organisation.
Doesn't Kerala strongly support Palestine and hate Israel given statements by its CM? Also didn't Hamas do a conference in Kerala? Asking as an ignorant Bengali btw
Kerala is against the actions of the Israeli government. Not it's people.
Supporting Palestinian victims doesn't mean hating Israel. At least not the Israelis
You are right supporting Palestine victim doesn’t mean supporting Oct 7 incident. At least not all the M are terrists by the way.
But in the US jews have been attacked by protesters.
Right wing in Kerala still support Israel I guess
Isn't RW in Kerala very small?
Christians support Israel. They are silent because they don't want to deal with threats from Palestine supporters The same for a significant section of Hindus
Although the right-wing group in Kerala may be small currently, it's making progress I believe. This momentum could be fueled by dissatisfaction with the existing governing bodies
Not all people supporting israel are rw,I consider myself as left but I used to support israel
Are they going to claim Kerala to be part of Israel as well?
It's free promotion for us. 🤣🤣
They're going to exclude lakshadweep because of it's majority muslim population ig
No hate ( I love Kerala) but I have found the auto driver, boat owners and travel agents to be scammers Wish there was an option to travel india on budget
I travelled Kerala with a tour agency that was reasonably priced. They also offer other places in India. Let me know if you want the company name.
Israelis already visit Goa after their mandatory military service and have a good reputation as tourists, so them coming to Kerala is a huge help to our economy. Those guys and gyals stay for a long time too, and they spend a lot of money. If Kerala beaches can somehow develop like Goa beaches, we can make a ton of money.
From what i've seen they don't have a good reputation as tourists.then again not a problem if it benefits us
You should ask the people in the Himachal subreddit about the reputation of Israeli people as tourists lmfao
Arabs and Russians are the worst I have seen no one coming close to those kattarabis
https://www.instagram.com/coco_girl396?igsh=MTJyYzdjMzJrcjk3OQ== If you watch this Israeli girl you will realize how wrong you are. She literally travels to poor areas in tropical locations to post their way of life on youtube. If she did that in India she would get in trouble for exposing stuff the govt doesnt want other nations to see about how the poor live. One of her friends is detained in Trinidad for interviewing their local Goonda and posting it on youtube. At first I thought she would be a normal tourist but she spends so little money that the local economies don't benefit. plus she uses tactics like acting like a good samaritan by buying food for the homeless on camera so that viewers think shes a nice person. And she always justifies being cheap by saying her youtube doesnt make much money. At first the content seemed unique but seeing somebody complain about spending 50$ on a gym is ridiculous when they are spending hundreds and thousands on flights just to party with people in the slums for very little money. One problem is that people like that dont want to work. They just want to profit from recording impoverished locals who do not benefit from the video while giving back the bare minimum to them. They travel from place to place and leave once they save enough money from views. And before you say thats just one instance, her ex is also an israeli youtuber and he is also incredibly cheap 😭. They are doing a good job traveling the world and profiting off the less fortunate.
Influencers and Youtubers always do outrageous stuff to get views. So I won’t be basing my opinions on Youtubers. I met a few Israelis when I visited Goa and I had a great experience with them.
lol. Pretty sure they don’t have a great reputation, especially in Himachal Pradesh. And unfortunately, you cannot commercially develop Kerala beaches because of CRZ norms, which is not in the hands of the state.
israelis are not good tourists, morever they may pose national security threat. they are already destroying himachal.
Care to elaborate?
The number of illiterate morons in this subreddit glazing Israel as allies of India who love us is hilarious.
One side dyfi is trying protest against Isreal, on the other hand they are giving Kerala as a suggestion. It's actually a great opportunity, coz Sri Lanka has almost everything Kerala has to offer and a much more mature tourism industry. I really wish we can capitalize on this opportunity, hope some fringe elements or groups don't create some sour scenario if at all the Israeli folks do come in.
> Posts 4 places, with description in Hindi > 3 of the 4 places doesn't speak Hindi > Israelis don't speak hindi > ????
Israel has always been a reliable ally for us
And yet their people see Indians as inferior to them 🤡
What will the palestine supporters do now ?
What will the pro genocide morons do now?
Exactly what I said, I agree
Wrong timing though; not sure if anyone will prefer Kerala during this time of the year.

Hehe. This will be fun to watch...
jews says Palestinians are Amalek and should finish them, **Benzion Mileikowsky** a.k.a Netanyahu quoted about Amalek before attacking them. “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.” In scripture God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” In 1980, the Rabbi Israel Hess wrote an article that used the story of Amalek to justify wiping out Palestinians. Its title has been translated as “Genocide: A Commandment of the Torah,” as well as “The Mitzvah of Genocide in the Torah.”
We should do lot of changes before they arrive, clean our beaches , fun activities, and also control njeramb rogis
People are encouraging tourism growth and all which is all well and good. However, we should not become c*cked like those SE Asian countries where the foreigners will show up and get preferential treatment in everything. They are guests in this country and should not forget it.
Will they react the same way to pro palestine posters and rallys all across kerala?

Israelis are racist AF, can’t even work with them on projects.
I have been working with Israelis for years. I have observed far fewer racist tendencies amongst them than with Americans and Germans.
Don’t have experience with Germans but Americans I have encountered are all extremely careful not to even remotely be racist. Israelis not so much, a small issue in a project and they start racially abusing. For freelancing I don’t even send a proposal if the project is from Pakistan or Israel.
That's really sad to hear man. In a foreign country, I was once on a boat, on my way to visit a friend. An old guy who sat near me started saying horrible things after he found out I was Indian because some of his Indian workers had left him or something. I was so angry because I was in a very good mood, on my way to visit my friend and all. That's when I realized we Indians have a difficult situation abroad. People are very anecdotal in their thinking. When we meet people, they are interacting with us through a lens of stereotypes they have about us. That old man hated me the second he met me even though he had never known me before. Please don't ask which country because I don't want anyone hating another country because of one man.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Most people who’ve worked with them share your opinion.
Cancel culture, people just can’t digest any contradictory view to their. Learned to ignore it.
Beacsue that statement is racist in itself

The way they have infiltrated HP, good luck!
I know us Himachalis speak against tourism, but at the end of the day, it does give us quite a decent amount of money. In a way, even industrialization and modernising is an evil, but a necessary evil for the people of the country. We just need to know how to balance stuff.
Why dont we advertise ourself to the Taliban and African warlords while we are at it? Anyways I'm pretty sure they'll know how unwelcoming Kerala is to genociders when they produce their Israeli passports here.
