An influencer based in Netanya, Tony Attal describes himself as an activist against antisemitism. He appears on French news channel CNews and on i24NEWS, where he says out loud what many only think. In June 2025, during the war with Iran, he summed up his line: "The days of Jews in striped pyjamas walking into gas chambers are over!" Today, he says, the Jew of Israel wears the IDF uniform. In February 2026, on CNews, he recalled that "the Jewish people have been persecuted for 4,000 years."
On October 17, 2024, the day after Yahya Sinwar, the man behind October 7, was killed, he held nothing back on CNews: "It's more than relief, it's joy. It's an event we had been waiting for since October 8."
Tony Attal did more than object to the ban. He says he saw no evidence of the behavior blamed on Israeli tourists, and accuses the park's manager of antisemitic remarks, on video and on Instagram. With other accounts, he compiled those statements, had them translated into Thai and English, and alerted Thailand's foreign and tourism ministries.
On September 7, 2026, Thailand's interior ministry ordered Kevin Dimino's deportation, citing threats, harassment, assault and stirring racial and religious division. On September 23, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul rejected his appeal. Kevin Dimino disputes the accusations; the administrative court remains open to him. An Israeli man who had confronted him was also deported.
Kevin Dimino disputes the accusations; the administrative court remains open to him.
"I almost jumped for joy. We had been waiting a month for this," Tony Attal said on i24NEWS. His conclusion: "Today, Jews have a country, a state and an army. They must be proud, walk with their heads held high, and fight antisemitism with all their strength."
