Has any US bombing anywhere since WW2 done anything more than make things worse ? Serious question. It's increasingly looking in the new era a lot of US hyper power military posturing looks like some great big nothing burger.Besides which the Houthis are battle hardened Arab tribesmen prone to dispersal and hidden in the region and well able to resist the hammer looking for very small nuts. The British Empire finally ended in imperial humiliation in Suez there's a great likelihood the US will suffer the same. Joe probably thinks we've hit Hanoi and his generals have to keep correcting him, Houthis Mr President them Houthis.

They were genocided by the white colonial settlers. It made land rights a much easier problem to solve.

2000 years. I've got an Italian knocking on my door in London carrying a gun telling me that my house belongs to him as <deleted> Maximus lived their when it was Londinium apparently. Should I let him in ?

You answered your own question unintentionally I'm sure. You violently eject large numbers of people from their lands where they have lived for centuries thus driving them demented with rage force them to flee to neighbouring countries that never asked for that and then to add insult to injury lump them all together arabs and wonder why there is a problem ? Walk one mile in their desert sandals and you will know the why.

I took a break for a few years and came back recently and while I agree it is refreshing to have the light touch moderation (George taking one out and shooting him must given the right message to some of the others) it does feel a bit dull with hardly anyone here. God only knows how it can make any money for I have never intentionally clicked on an advert. And it must be said the audience appears to be an ever shrinking ageing male one with nair a female or an under 40 to lighten the tone. There are so many other places to waste time on now as well Facebook groups,X and Reditt to name but 3 and all have that missing demographic in spades. The days of TVF or nowhere have long gone and I'm not sure it's salvageable in the modern era. On a practical level re emoticons this plethora of choices is bordering on absurd and makes no sense. The Redditt up vote down vote would be much better so that the cumulative score is the post authority. But thanks for all the effort from everyone I still quite enjoy the place when I'm country with nothing better to do. And to those on the World News threads that I annoy with my trenchant opinions don't worry I'm back to the UK on the 21st from where I promise I will leave you alone!

This is not evidence it is an infographic produced by the Israeli state in pursuance of its aims. BTW thanks for the link the mass of comments under it shows how catastrophically Israel are losing the information war. Trust me bro !

We had no problem getting a Bolt both ways when we went to the next fishing village beyond. I had thought we would have trouble getting one back indeed our hotel quoted us 1200 to go back to Jomtien so was delighted when we got one in 5 minutes who had just finished a drop off in Sattahip.

Acceptable source please rather than trust me bro which appears to be the rather quaint archaic rules that apply in this realm. Found it much famed Israeli Intel that was asleep at the wheel on October 7th in the absence of independent verification I'll put that in the Pinochio drawer along with the WMD lies of times past. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-intel-shows-10-of-unrwa-workers-in-gaza-have-ties-to-terror-groups-report/

Helpfully the Israeli Levithian that is Gideon Levy has done some work on fleshing out how that could work but reckons with the current generation of Israelis it's a lost cause. https://www.pij.org/articles/1906/one-state-two-nations

A spurious argument in the extreme why should they it's their land and the land of their forefathers for generations unlike many of the European settlers from European genocide. Why don't the Unionists in Northern Ireland go back to Scotland and solve the Irish problem once and for all ? It most certainly wasn't a land without people for a people without a land. A real mask off moment as well with your ALL Palestinians it's called ethnic cleansing it often accompanies a genocide.

Well then publish it the OP article mentions 12. As to why other countries have I don't know maybe it is APAIC US led Zionist 'Put' to purloined a stock market term and a solidifying of the US coming war coalition.

I was I hope quite clear as to my point when a whole race is othered like that and then accused of not being wanted by other countries we are on the same road to perdition. Same with gypsies,gays or communists. Pretty sure had I had the misfortune to have grown up in Nazi Germany I would have been sent to the camps as well. A whole life pubically supporting progressive causes would have seen to that.

I posted a link to a Channel 4 interview with a previous director of UNWRA but it appears to have been removed.It basically said that blaming UNWRA for a few bad eggs was akin to damning the whole of the NHS because of Lucy Letby. I post the key findings of the Court unapologetically as many seem to think they didn't accuse them of genocide means they are absolved of all responsibility for the crimes that are being committed in a daily basis in the Occupied Territories. Israel is outraged at the provisional judgment and in my opinion doing all it can to smear these August bodies whose aim and motivations are welfare not warfare UNWRA being a particular case in point.

As now with their interim judgement does the International Court of Justice are the Hague.

I agree I can't imagine why The Hill has gone out on a limb with its reputation by doing this. That said Max and his side kick Aaron Mate son of holocaust survivor Gabor are both Jewish so can't be accused of anti-semitism.

That's precisely the line that European anti-semites used when targeting and traducing the Jewish diaspora before expelling or exterminating them.

Precisely my friend. I have seen such horrors on social media from within Gaza that they would bleach your mind forever not committed by swarthy terrorist in sandals but by the impact of a 2000 lb high explosive bomb dropped by our allies in the middle east onto undefended refugees with nowhere to flee. As have most of the rest of the world. The Court of International Justice also agrees and asks for an end to such terrors. On a tangential point I had understood that the Daily Mail was regarded as a unreliable source it certainly is for Wikipedia but hey ho.

The judgement in full and now my sourced graphic again. What was telling was the Court represents its judgement as a statement of fact not that South Africa asserts this. Israel and its backers fully realise this and that's why the sustained and intense campaign to smear UNWRA and the UN generally is in full swing. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/01/26/world/middleeast/icj-gaza-provisional-ruling.html

The judgement - no civilised country ends up in the ICJ accused of genocide. Period. And now they smear everything and anything that supports that truth. Shameful.Putin can only dream of the viciousness that Israel has unleashed on Gaza. Amalek indeed.

I was reading the Daily Mail online and I saw this. It's me and THEY have created a fake website and users to fool me. Damn and they have disguised Thai Visa Forum as ASEAN NOW. Now what?

Oh I have drunk these 19 baht cannabis drinks you can buy at 7 11 before going to bed and am convinced that I have had good dreams and no hangover. Do they actually work ?

That's a really nice way to explain that we all need a bit of sparkle and positive time out from the melee. I've never seen stoners causing public order problems either. Use to do a lot of Amsterdam runs with a group of mates back in the day and we had some brilliant times in the coffee shops. When we were done we would gently sway out laughing away before finding somewhere to crash and continue the vibe. Nothing like a boozed up group would be. One afternoon though I was convinced that the ducks in the Vondelpark were speaking Dutch and convinced the rest of my mates too. That and going round the Van Gogh museum wearing the headsets I remarked to a mate that the ducks were telling me to slash the paintings. We corpsed so much as a group we were asked to leave being gently led away in hysterics. They like Queen Victoria were not amused.

Thanks for all the replies they are very interesting. My wife is with me all the time we are over here (3 months) so I don't get any time to myself and she doesn't approve so that's it. We've been very happily married now for over 22 years now and I was dabbling in various things when we met so she put me on the straight and narrow so it wouldn't be good to risk it all for a kick she wouldn't share. You can't have it all sniffing coke from a hookers cracķ will have to remain just that happy memories !

The Dropbox uk address is easily covered you forwarded mail onto your friend or relative with no idea what was in them. That's not an offence in any universe.
