"Israeli PM 'missed chance' to cut off Hamas cash, says ex-spy chief - BBC News" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68318856

Netanayu supporting Hamas . In 2019, Mr Netanyahu told colleagues in his ruling Likud party: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas… This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank." Keeping Hamas strong enough to be an effective rival to Fatah - its West Bank rival - would prevent the possibility of a "unified Palestinian leadership with whom you would have to negotiate some kind of final settlement", says Khaled Elgindy, senior fellow on Palestine.

Thinking about it, she surely is part of the package deal enabling Tony to return. I mean, Tony couldn't be that cruel to leave her out in the Dubai desert counting the stars at night. He couldn't be that mean? Surely? 555

Yes, undoubtedly she still appeals to rural folk of a certain age. Perhaps her charges could be dropped if she agreed to hit the campaign trail but she might not want to play that game anymore having been once bitten, twice shy.

PT have bargaining power in that they could threaten to bring the government down by switching sides to join MF. But that would see their paymaster facing legal woes so that's never going to happen as long as Thaksin is around.

This is a Thai Airways plane so naturally it's a hong nam.

I want to tell you a story.

Syd lives on!

Surely he can't walk after months bedridden?

RIP Dano Suzuki, may you ride forever into Future Days, one of the greatest albums ever.

And all the time Israel continues its wholesale slaughter of innocents, it's creating new martyrs, a new Hamas

At least your second paragraph opens with an acknowledgement that the death toll is high and many innocents have died. You're making progress. Here is an alternative to the invasion, and by the way, if you don't win the hearts and minds there will never be peace.

Look, Israel has been bombing Gaza since October, killing thousands of innocent civilians. I'm sorry to 'go on' about the murder of so many children, etc. Hamas are evil, but my god, Netanyahu and his butchers are creating another Hamas right now by this wholesale murder.

They've just been seizing Palestinian land for decades.

Yes I have, It's not my fault your memory is poor. Israel is behaving just like Hamas, wanton killing of innocent civilians. Both sides are murderous butchers.

I've mentioned in many previous posts that Hamas are evil, but now so is Israel, killing thousands of civilians.

Israel's brutal bombing of Gaza and indiscriminate killing of Gaza's civilians is ensuring a whole generation of Palestinians will grow up full of hate of Israel. Welcome to Hamas part two.

Garcia's beautiful song about a sad topic, suicide,

I agree with you the money helped, but more than that he and his underlings, PT, had to agree to break their pre election promises and join the military backed parties. That betrayal of the democratic aspirations of the Thai people is priceless for the elite. But, as you said, they can keep him on a leash with rumblings of 112 charges.
