Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
loong replied to webfact's topic in World News
I assume that the child was clothed, and the parent stated that they used their own body heat to keep the baby warm. It seems reasonable to think that there may have been other issues especially as so many other children have survived the chilly weather. -
Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
loong replied to webfact's topic in World News
Minimum temperature in Gaza is around 8 degrees C, which is well above freezing, so it surprises me that an infant can freeze to death. The parent used body heat to warm the child, so maybe the cold was not the full cause. -
Foreign man assaults Pattaya transwoman over noise dispute

No, maybe it was after the party and a group of noisy drunken ladyboys waiting for payment. At least one ladyboy being very loud. Probably screeching the way they seem to like to get attention. -
Thailand to Train 7,000 Massage Therapists Amid Industry Shortage
loong replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
My ex worked in a government hospital for a while, but didn't stay long as again, she only got paid per massage and it was a pittance. Many days she was not paid enough to cover travel costs! -
Thailand to Train 7,000 Massage Therapists Amid Industry Shortage
loong replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Things must have changed then. An ex of mine was a trained and qualified masseuse but found it very difficult to earn a reasonable amount. The masseuses were only paid if they had customers with most of them sitting idle all day. I don't see how training more will create more customers. It will probably mean that the bosses will pay the staff even less commission. -

Considering the huge number of administrative staff, you would think it a simple matter to keep track of prescriptions etc. that a patient has had already! -

With less than 2 weeks left in 2024, you would think that they could give the actual opening date. -
Thai Pig Farms Face Crisis Amid Oversupply; Call for Balance Grows
loong replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I really have never seen any price control on anything except maybe Mama noodles. There was no apparent price control a few years back when pork doubled in price! -
Thai Pig Farms Face Crisis Amid Oversupply; Call for Balance Grows

Pork prices to the consumer have been quite stable for months, so why is this over-supply not leading to lower prices? -

20 million pigs from 10 farms would be 2 million per farm. Your maths is not correct! -
They are calling out Israel that is not committing genocide, yet ignore all the other atrocities which have already been mentioned in the article. If Israel had any intention of committing genocide, do you really think that they would only have killed 45,000 people (probably half of those are Hamas) in 14 months of war? They could have easily done that in less than a week! Must be the most pathetic attempt at genocide ever! Hamas managed 1200 in less than a day, but shame on Israel they have not managed to match that in any single day.

Why do they always come up with lines like this!? They should be concerned year-round and not just during holiday periods! -

Crackdown on Sukhumvit Beggars Reveals Hidden Wealth

It's more rewarding and much easier than working! -
I don't see how they could possibly change the definition without it resulting in genocide in every future conflict! These people have remained completely silent throughout atrocities caused by Islamists! Syria 600,000 murdered Yemen 300,000 murdered Nigeria Boko Harem murdering Christians Yazidi Genocide Many other acts of mass murder including Rohingya Genocide by Myanma Junta. What do all of these have in common? There is no possible way that they can be blamed on Jews!
-
The meaning of genocide cannot be re-defined, that would be totally ridiculous. They cannot pin any war crimes on Israel, so want to stoop to actually invent a new set of actions and call that a war crime instead! How about calling the wearing of the Star of David a war crime? That'll sort out those frikkin Jews!

The Philistines occupied the area around Gaza some 3000 years ago and they were not Arabs. The Romans named the Israel area Palestina, to annoy the conquered Jews. During the Ottoman Empire the area was known as Southern Syria, I believe. After the end of the Ottoman Empire the area was given to the British to govern and named the British Mandate of Palestine. The Arabs that lived there did not identify as Palestinians, they just called themselves Southern Syrians or Arabs. When the state of Israel was formed, the Jews called themselves Israelis, so nobody referred to themselves as Palestinians anymore, The Russians and Arafat came up with the idea to call the Arabs Palestinians so that it would fool the useful idiots of the world into believing that the Arabs actually had a legitimate claim to the land that they had never owned in history.

There have been uncountable terrorist attacks on Israel from Gaza since Israel completely withdrew from Gaza and leaving the Gazans to govern themselves. The invasion by Hamas was not just the events of October 7th, 2023. They also launched thousands of missiles at civilian targets and many more missile attacks in the following months. Yes, at Israeli civilian targets as the Palestinians wanted to commit genocide. There are fewer missile attacks nowadays as the IDF have destroyed most of their launch sites. And yes, those launch sites were in amongst residential areas, schools and hospitals! Why were the launch sites positioned there? Because Hamas knew that it would be impossible for the IDF to destroy those embedded military facilities without killing civilians. They wanted as many dead civilians as possible because it makes for good propaganda and makes Israel look bad. There has been no genocide. Did you read the report about the effective sacking of the UN expert who stated that Israel is not committing genocide? The UN did not renew her contract simply because it did not fit with the UN's antisemitic agenda. Really, get real, do you honestly think that Israel is committing genocide? Let face it, if they are, they are doing an extremely poor job! After 14 months of war, if Israel had intended genocide, Gaza would be an unpopulated wasteland. Apparently, with new births, the population of Gaza is actually higher than it was at the start of this war! Hamas has stated that they want to kill all jews and take Israel for the Muslims. Yes. Hamas want to commit genocide, but do not have the ability. Israel has the ability, but not the inclination to commit genocide. It has always seemed strange to me that every idiot protests about 'genocide' in Gaza, but nobody protests about the 600,000 murdered by Assad in Syria. Maybe nobody cares about Muslims killing Muslims and only react if Jews are involved. In 2005, Gaza was handed to the Gazans to self govern. If the Gazans had just got on with running a successful state, Israel would have left them alone. Israel only entered Gaza because of the savage attack on 7th October, 2023. Israel does not want any of the land in Gaza. Strangely enough, when Egypt started a war with Israel in 1967, they lost Gaza and the Sinai. During peace talks with Egypt, Israel offered to return the Sinai and Gaza, Egypt accepted the Sinai, but they did not want Gaza back. Egypt even built a wall at the border with Gaza. What does that tell you?
