Poor Israel. It has gotten harder and harder to accuse anyone of barbarism with photos like this detailing their atrocities being printed in large circulation media outlets.
Alongside this war crime worthy indictment, the western media is now full of the barbarity of the Russia for supposedly double tapping (ie sending two flocks of drones separately by a few minutes; using tear gas on Ukraine troops etc). All the accusations are evidence free of course, as all western accusations seem to be.
Anyway, I hope this poor starved little girl or chap survives to become the poster child for Israeli barbarism and atrocity.

It was the Israeli policies such as apartheid, occupation, displacement, and settlement expansion that caused the grievances and frustrations among Palestinians, and the formation of Hamas.
It appears as though you're deploying the antisemitism accusation against someone who simply opposes Israeli aggression.

Suspected is rather weak.
I doubt they will see justice, just like Bush escaped punishment for killing 100s of thousands in an unjust invasion.
It's about time the countries of the world stood up to the bullies, US and Israel.

For how much longer is the USA going to support a Genocide ?
Hopefully not long, other countries are pulling aid to Israel and stopping sending weapons and bombs for them to indiscriminately bomb Gazans, so hypocritical, Biden sends billions and bombs and tells them to stop bombing indiscriminately.

Reference to a source you consider legitimate and authoritative does not answer my question of and to you.
Your aggressive assertions that any doubts by people not completely aligned to your perspective are somehow deficient in comprehension are tedious and closed minded in my opinion.
You are welcome to ignore my opinion such as it is.
Absolutely! There is an ignore feature,

That's a complex question.
Did they intend to kill the targets?
Obviously.
Did they know they were killing food aid workers?
Seems so.
Should be investigated by an external party.
Did they think there were also Hamas targets?
Maybe.
Should be investigated by an external party.
Was this hit authorized at the highest levels?
Unknown.
Should be investigated by an external party.
Thanks, good answer and glad to see you have intelligence and are not condoning it.

I do not believe the IDF is incompetent again and again and again.
It was a precision bombing that precisely hit the pre-aprovoed aid convoy, on purpose.
How anyone could believe otherwise is bizarre.

You are about 36 hours behind Israel's lies.
Yesterday Netanyahu said the whole assault was in error
So then who was in the aid convoy does not matter does it now?
My guess is the only reason José Andrés is not dead is he is a celebrity.
I really have no idea why that guy defends these atrocities.

Exactly. My gripe too.
And about half the population of working age here are unregistered casual workers paid cash in hand. They know nothing about income tax and never will. Happy to turn up in their thousands at the government hospitals for the (nominal 30 baht payment) free healthcare. All my immediate Thai family, none of whom knows a thing about income tax ( or their country's immigration laws) frequently use it, yours truly acting as chauffeur. After about 4 hours they come out with carrier bags of prescribed meds. I noticed the actual cost for one such bagful was 3,500 baht. Not even the UK NHS which still offers free at point of delivery healthcare gives out free prescription drugs except to pensioners. If we are to be taxpayers here we should be entitled to this too.
The problem is that we may be regarded as tax resident here but their immigration laws do not in general give residency, only long stay (1 year at a time ) visitor status. European countries in general do give residential status which then triggers the right to work, entitlement to the state's health-care and the requirement to make tax declarations.
Even a genuine and lasting marriage to a Thai confers no rights here whatsoever on the foreign spouse, is in fact an even greater annual administrative burden on the foreigner ( and the Thai spouse) seeking permission to stay by virtue of marriage to a Thai.
The 30 baht health payment scheme no longer exists. It is the universal health system which costs nothing.
Foreigners working here can get on the social security scheme.
Does a Thai retiree in the UK get on the NHS? Very few Thai retirees could retire in the UK due to the strict immigration requirements. Conversely, UK retirees can retire here very easily and if they got universal health care it would be a huge burden on the Thai economy.

What a maroon, the guy protesting the 'occupation' of Gaza. It hasn't been occupied for more than 15 years, except by Hamas and other terrorists.
Hamas are only firing in self defence. You are showing your Islamophobia so much,

(Just another "regrettable incident') from the IDF I expect. I have no doubt that there will be an enquiry by the IDF, about the IDF, and nobody will be punished as usual.
After all he was only a Palestinian, and nobody important. (Sarcasm mode off). The IDF who murdered him probably "thought" he was a Hamas terrorist or a Hamas supporter.
Exactly. Well said, nice to see a voice of reason and humanity.

Thanks, interesting,
Surely there will by an outcry by Thais, including myself, if rich foreigners don't have to pay tax on their foreign income and we do.
This would be unconstitutional.

They did happen, to people who provided support to a terrorist organisation, while Tsahal soldiers were risking their lives to build a durable peace in this area. They knew the were in a war zone where, even though IDF proceeds with utmost restraint as many of not most military expert would agree, collateral damage occurs.
You are justifying indescriminate bombings.
I don't want anything to do with you.

There are some categories of foreign tax residents who will not be liable at all this year, for example those who do not transfer ANY foreign income to Thailand in 2024 as well as holders of the 10 year Longterm Residence Visa who are exempt from declaring any foreign income in any case.
Why do long term visa holders get special treatment over Thais?
Are you sure about this?

Normally not, but there will be a GI specialist joining Be Well on 25 March who looks OK

Hua Hin Hospital is not a very high level hospital, lucky if they even have a GI specialist and would likely be not daily.
I found one who seemed to know her stuff. She is not always there but she explaied the procedure well to me.
The slight danger of oesophageal rupture when using a balloon dilation etc. I persuaded her to give me something to sleep.
Had to stay 2 nights there.
The problem was that the scope couldn't get down on the first try as my tube was too narrow.
There was a tear but she said this is not necessarily bad.

Yeah but 27 years, 10-year passport would have expired, how would he renew it if he was wanted for crimes, I can't see the Embassy doing this for a wanted man 2 times if not 3 depending on the length left on his PP when he first fled.
Visa Agent in Pattaya can get you a new British passport in your absence.

Nice straw man. Seems to be a trend here.
Don't presume to tell me what I think. That is a shallow and immature way to discuss things. Right up there with the faux rephrasing by constantly repeating, "so what you're saying is......" and then not saying what I am saying.
I think journalism as an unbiased source of information is largely gone. And journalists who go into conflict zones freely take the risk to their health that such a decision entails. Embedded with a military, freelancing, doesn't matter.
From the start you have offered your full support for the Israelis. I can understand now that might not be the case so show some integrity and admit you were wrong and stop playing childish games.
