Claiming the Right to Say No
A Tourist from England Shared
There is a war going on between Palestine and Israel because of the
land disputes. Israel is a country but not Palestine. Palestine wants to
identify itself as a country by conquering more land. The Israelis have
many different problems in their own country and when they come to
Goa, they create many different problems/evils/harms. The drugs racket
in Anjuna is responsible for crimes in Goa. The Israelis come to Goa and
with them they bring drugs from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, etc, and
they use Goans and Indians to sell it. The Israelis who sell drugs have
control over the Ministers from Goa to Delhi. They pay them a large
amount of money. They also bribe the Police. If anybody goes and asks
about the drugs problem in Goa with the main dealers in drugs, be sure
that they will follow you and even harm you. Many Israeli tourists form
groups in a party and sit together. They get girls from India, Goa, British,
U.K, etc and make friendship with them. They offer them alcohol and
drugs and at the end indulge in sex. The Israelis think that they are a
“Territorial Army” and they feel proud about it. They think of themselves
as the chosen people of God and they have the power/ freedom to do
anything, even to kill. The Israelis and the Russians try to dominate Goa.
The Israelis are worse than the Russians.
One shack owner shared that, the Israelis are sometimes good and
sometimes bad. Sometimes, some of the Israelis do not even pay the bills
in the restaurant. They cheat and go.
A German Tourist Said
Goa is not cheap. Vietnam is a good place. Three days in Goa is equal to
eight days in Vietnam. The Israelis are sometimes ‘ok’ and sometimes not;
this is because of the military training they have to attend because of the
wars. This year there were not many Israelis in Goa, maybe the
Government has not given visas.
One day we went to a bar which is run by an Israeli. Next to the bar are
a Goan family and the bar belongs to them. But, they have given it on
contract to an Israeli. We also visited a family behind the bar & restaurant.
