What a load of nonsense. Where is the 'stronghold of opposition' that those terrible people in their traditional garb have infiltrated? I presume you live in Thailand? Do you wear Thai traditional clothing & try to 'blend in', or do you wear the clothing that you've been used to wearing for years, from the West?? You're talking absolute nonsense.
Well, I thought the real Makha Bucha day was today - Saturday but there were no free tolls as I travelled from Pattaya to Bang Pa-in on motorways 7 & 9!!! Wonder why they're free on a 'substitution day' instead? Is there ANY logic in this country?
That's the unfortunate fact. The whole country is desensitised & therefore pay little attention to the daily toll of deaths, injuries & unnecessary costs, so it'll just carry-on & on!! Very sad!!!!!!!
I think you made a typing error. Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 2005. Re the West Bank - if you think that Israel has occupied it since 1967, who do you think occupied it between 1948 - 1967?? It was Jordan. It wasn't Palestine then - it was Jordan!! The West Bank was originally called Judea & Samaria & 'occupied' by Jews in those days.
If you were in the same situation, would you let your kids leave the house and throw stones at heavily armed soldiers?? I think if you sa soldiers on the streets outside your house, you would be anxious to keep your kids inside & safe - or not???
The difference being that the hostages being held by Hamas haven't even 'thrown stones' at anyone. They are complete innocents!! Btw, if you were hit by a thrown stone, it could kill you, especially when those stones are 'fired' by catapaults!
