Israel uses a lot of dumb bombs in Gaza. Maybe they don't kill many people intentionally, but they obviously don't care enough to avoid thousands of innocent people.

Israeli Defense Minister: 'We Are Fighting Human Animals’ | HuffPost Latest News Israeli Defense Minister Announces Siege On Gaza To Fight ‘Human Animals’ Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called for denying Palestinian people electricity, food, water and fuel as Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza. I am sure you will find lots of other sources which confirm this quote.

Let's say a couple of criminals come to your home. What do you expect the police to do? Bomb your home and kill just everybody? Or would you expect that they send a SWAT team and kill only the criminals? It's not really that difficult to understand.

Imagine Israel would remove the settlers from the land where Palestinians live. How do you think Palestinians and the world would react? I am pretty sure that would influence the opinion in favor of Israel a lot. And so is the fact that in real life Israel supports these settlements and ignores international law. Israel could use less dump bombs and they could send their soldiers into the tunnels under the city without bombing just everything which is anywhere near the tunnels and Hamas. Of course, that would be more difficult. I don't know if the ratio It seems Hamas killed on 7th October fewer than 1000 Israelis. And I don't want to pretend 1000 people are few people, those are a lot of people and Hamas shouldn't have done that. It seems the current Palestinian body count in Gaza since October is 26,000, including many innocent women and children. Yes, 10:1 seems too low.

Imagine 10 Hamas fighter would be in the basement of an Israeli hospital. Would Israel just bomb the whole hospital? Or would they fight only the bad guys in the basement? They could to the same in Palestinian hospitals. But then, they call Palestinians "animals" and there is obviously no need to care about a few animals. They are just collateral damage. Who cares. And about Palestinians supporting Hamas. I was never in that situation. But I guess if I would see a foreign army invading my city and killing my family and friends, then I would also support the local freedom fighters. Or maybe I would join them to fight the invaders.

Slowly I understand why so many American people support Trump. Obviously he is an a$hole, but that doesn't mean he did everything anyone accuses him of doing. That woman doesn't even remember when that supposed rape supposedly happened. There is no evidence they even met in that store. But for whatever reason judges decide Trump is guilty. And when he continues to proclaim his innocence (for that rape) he is prosecuted again. There is no proof that he raped her. Why is he not allowed to say exactly that? Maybe Trumps opponent should concentrate on the important things which he did wrong, like the insurrection. Then maybe people would acknowledge that he is not unfairly targeted by the establishment.

Yes, Hamas killed innocent Israelis. And Israel kills maybe 10 times more innocent Palestinians. One wrong doesn't make another wrong right.

Israel could try to minimize civilian casualties. But that's not what they do. They call them animals and slaughter them. And then they are surprised when someone brings them in front of an internation court.

Yes, Hamas war criminals should be punished. Not every single Palestinian including many children.

The USA is the only country which could make Israel stop the bombing and supplying desperately needed food and medicine to the Palestinians. But Biden, and others talk and don't really do anything substantial. Israels settlers are invading and occupying the land of the Palestine people since decades. And it seems this gets worse. And it's supported by the Israeli government and against international law. It's no surprise that Israel is constantly accused. There are good reasons for that. If they would stop the illegal settlers and if they would try to live in peace with their neighbors then a lot more people would like them and support them. Hamas <> Palestine. I understand that Israel is fighting Hamas, they have good reasons for that. But it is not helpful that they ignore all the presumed innocent Palestinian civilians. Israel could fight Hamas and only Hamas. But that is not what they are doing. If they see 10 Hamas fighters surrounded by 100 Palestinian civilians they just bomb them all and don't care. With that attitude they shouldn't be surprised that many people protest against Israels government.

I hope many Thais will see this story and will learn from it that identity theft is a big issue. It seems too many don't care about data privacy and too many use their phones without any awareness of any risks.

I read in multiple media that Israel said they won't stop, even if all hostages are released. And about the leaflets and moving: How many people should move how often and where to? Is there still any place Palestinians can go without the risk of being killed? And then there is all the destruction and hunger and little drinking water and all that. If Israel doesn't kill every single Palestinians then they can be sure that they made enough enemies for the future to come. So what do they do? Kill everybody and make sure there are no homes and infrastructure anymore for Palestinians to return. And obviously with American weapons and more or less American support. The Americans could convince them to stop. They don't. Sad.

Maybe you noticed that Israel is not only killing Hamas. They kill every Palestinian including many innocent women and children. And they go on and on and on and don't stop. But I guess you wouldn't call that a mistake - because they do it on purpose.

That is, IMHO, the problem. Those nations, especially the USA and Israel, have the attitude that by definition they do everything right. If they would be fair, then they would say/behave like: We know we didn't do what we are accused of doing. Go ahead with this case and we will show we are innocent. They are not innocent, and they know they are not innocent, that is why they don't even want to have anything in the public and in a court which could possibly shows their guilt. And now Israel is obviously already accusing the ICJ of antisemitic bias. Like: Jews can never be wrong - by definition. Sad. But obviously just like expected.

The question is obviously: Will this ruling change anything? Will Israel, or should I say Israel's government, now respect the lives of ordinary Palestinians? Will the USA deliver fewer weapons to Israel? Will the USA agree with other nations to rule against Israel in the UN? I don't have much hope that anything will change. The powerful do what they want to do. That's it.

No. And I can't imagine a reason why she should.

One of the nice things about Thailand is that if one of those YouTubers would film too much of what he shouldn't film, then some "security guards" would explain to him his errors. He won't do it again.

There is a huge difference between being somewhere accidentally in the background or being targeted to be center of the video or picture. In above case, nobody would have noticed the Chinese people if they would have just walked through the background. And obviously all of them wearing red and waving Chinese flags didn't exactly help to stay in the background. And then complaining in front of a life cam is just utterly stupid. I wouldn't like if someone would walk i.e. through Nana and point a camera at me and maybe a girl next to me. But I know I was once in the background of some porn movie. Someone made a video walking through Soi Cowboy and people sitting outside the bar were all "part of the movie". I found out that I was part of the movie because I was in the soi all the time with my bike. I saw my bike in the video and then I looked at the frame and I found myself. I guess the 99% of the people who know me and watched the movie for whatever reason would never have recognized me for being maybe a few seconds somewhere in the background. That's just life the way it is. I didn't complain and tell the producer that he should edit me out of that. I didn't care.

The woke are a very loud minority. I think it's best to ignore them. One day they will go away because nobody will listen to them anymore.

It's like a sack of rice falls down somewhere in China. Who cares?

I can only confirm that many Thais don't understand the idea of vents. Like: It's just a pipe to nowhere, we don't need it. And even when I showed some presumably experts a graphic which explains it, they just don't understand the concept.

Come on, even when I just had a soapy bath, I like it. ;)

For me it depends very much on the kind of noise. A high revving two-stroke bike is like music. When some idiot watches videos in the lift or has some video call, that is annoying.

Yes, that is a good place. In general: make a backup of your data before you go there. If, for whatever reason you can't do that, then make sure you tell them that your data is important and they should not delete anything. And if you have any private and confidential data on the PC, then don't assume that those repair guys honor your privacy.

I love the see the girls "dancing". ;)
