If you had "looked into it" you would have found out that Thai Airways haven't flown to Vienna for a number of years. This route is now served only by Austrian Airlines and EVA Air.

Free Speech seems to be another victim of this war. I have been banned from posting by DW News, the "German BBC"; presumably for not prefacing every post with "I pray for Israel". A recent video had an audience of 1.8M and only 167 comments escaped the censor. My posts on DW News have been factual without slurs like "scum". "savages" or "human animals" that I read on this forum. I regret that I cannot contribute further to this forum. I am an unhealthy 75, have poor eyesight (keyboard) and simply do not have the strength.

Reduce petrol prices by 2.5 baht........interesting Reduce petrol prices TO 2.5 baht........even more interesting.

I knew a rich guy who spent his summer holidays at the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz, France. He always had a suite at the top of one of the twin towers. One year the hotel deeply regretted that they could not give him the suite because both were already booked; by the Duchess of Windsor (Wallace Simpson) and Frank Sinatra. Luckily, Frank Sinatra cancelled. He never visited Thailand, probably because he enjoyed a glass of fine wine and could not afford the outrageous Thai prices for a tipple..

Very disappointing. As an expert guesser, please guess for me the next winning lottery number.

What are you talking about ?. Who is "he" ?

So, no answer to my question. I am after an understanding that Israel has treated Palestinians atrociously for 75 years; so that Hamas is very much a monster which Israeli terrorism has created. What points have I not replied to?

Booze or hash ?

Here and now you are avoiding giving me an answer.

"the deliberate murder of civilians" like the hotel bombing, the murder of the UN monitor and the Deir Yassin massacre which Begin hailed as a "splendid act of conquest" ?

Please note and later watch the video....it's worthwhile. It is not a repost; the 1st was a link and the 2nd a recommendation....I will see. On the other hand, I would welcome some "prosperous" coming my way !

I hope this post is not against forum rules. I earlier posted a link to a youtube video, but the post was deleted. I recommend to all posters the video of Dr. Gabor Mate speaking out on Israel and Palestine. It is an honest and moving appraisal by a Holocaust survivor.

Thank you for your profound and thought-provoking contribution to the discussion.

People who wholeheartedly support Israel don't really know what they are talking about. Palestinians have had to fight for a right to survive for a long time.

I believe, not sure, that Sweden and Switzerland had diplomatic relations with Germany throughout WW 2. Did they support Nazism ?

I support the Hamas as much as you support the bombing of hotels and the massacring of villagers. In other words, NO. I do however, unlike the Israeli state, support ALL inhabitants of a state having equal rights and obligations.

Yes, that's the problem; The West continues to support and arm Israel, not interested that it is a terrorist state causing misery to millions of its inhabitants who have no civil rights.

My point is to illustrate the obvious fact that Israel is a terrorist state. One PM blows up the country's top hotel killing 91, and praises the massacre of over 100 villagers in Deir Yassin as a "splendid act of conquest". The other organises the murder of the UN mediator. The hypocrisy of the USA and The West in supporting this terrorist state is the main cause of the tragedy.

In addition, Irgun bombed the King David David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 with 91 killed. The murder of the UN mediator was authorised by Yizthak Shamir as one of the 3-man Irgun 'centre'. Shamir later became PM of Israel.

Thanks, Jeff the Chef. Very sad. In itself, and the fact that that so many continue to give unconditional support to a state that acts so atrociously.

"No idea". The only logical words in your nonsensical posts.

Please learn to read: the title of this thread is "Israel Is At War !".

Sick is to make baseless accusations against a poster without any justification or a shred of evidence. So you believe the settlers, many from the USA and Russia, are justified in driving Palestinians from their lands and homes which they have occupied for many generations

"Shamir was elected Prime Minister many many years after events - not right away or anything" I find the words of an earlier poster appropriate : mealy mouthed.
