Classic anti Semitism.These bigots are too guarded these days to express their hate and bile openly, so it is more "between the lines." Still one knows it when one comes across it.

 

These anti Semites will bluster that I am confusing racism with legitimate criticism of the state of Israel.That is untrue.Criticism of Israel and support for the Palestinians is of course in order:it's more or less my position.

 

But language gives the anti Semites away.They cannot help referring to Nazi inspired internment camps and of course disparaging the holocaust.They are essentially not much more than old fashioned Jew haters.They will point to the Jews who are foes of Zionism and the State of Israel (Jewry has always had its dissenters - a credit to them in a my view).But don't be fooled.

 

Meanwhile Israel - a country its neighbours wish to annihilate - remains the only democracy in the region.The anti Semites of course ignore the crimes and brutality  of most of the other countries in the region - who despite the rhetoric have done virtually nothing to help the Palestinians.

 

 

If I am being accused of being anti-Semetic, then I expect that you would think the same of these people ? (see link below). Helpful hint - they are Jewish.
Democratic Israel ? When the choices range from very right wing to highly extremist right wing ?
Accusing protestors of being anti-Semetic, when criticising Israel, is just a pathetic attempt to stifle genuine criticism of a hateful, apartheid regime.

So what about us happy retirees who have built and paid for their house in the 'sticks', have a stable, loving relationship, live a reasonable lifestyle away from Nana & Cowboy, and can manage quite comfortably on Bht 50,000 a month. Should we have to prove an income of Bht 100,000.

We live very well on around 25,000 Baht a month, but we don't drink or smoke.
It's always been my understanding that those who already have met the previous requirements, can stay on those terms - I believe it's known as 'grandfathering".

I liked CTH too, and have been impressed with BeIN, as well. Does this mean that BeIN will still have the other football (CL, Spanish, Italian, French etc) ?

Any help appreciated, thank you.

No Diego, Argentina's victory is not to be sniffed at !

Germany to beat Argentina in the Final, and Harry Kane to claim the winning goal.....

Obviously Scotland would have won it if we'd qualified, but as it's only the lesser teams, I'll go for :
1 Germany

2 Argentina

3 France

4 Brazil

I'm starting to think that the spineless people here, deserve what they get from Governments, whether elected or those that have taken power.

Trump is the President that the US deserves. He is making them look exactly what they are. I hope Kim kicks his behind all the way back to Washington.

Which market is this ?
OOPS ! Just saw post 166 !

My wife purchased a perfectly good pair of jackboots on Beach Road.  

I think we need to see photographic proof of this.....?

I'm guessing he isn't from the part of France that was ruled by the Vichy government, during World War II....

I asked about the TM30 at Phetchabun Immigration, as I was going to Bangkok for one night. They told me they weren't interested in getting a TM30, as I wasn't leaving the country.
