Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?
For those who have not lived and worked in the Middle East it is hard to grasp the fact that Arab countries generally neither like the current regime in Iran, nor Hamas controlled Gaza. They would not be sorry to see both demolished.

British Woman Injured in Pattaya Self-Harm Incident
The lady 'asked staff to contact rescue services'. That surely indicates that, come the moment, she didn't want to die.

Harry and Meghan Dismiss New Royal Book as ‘Conspiracy and Melodrama’
Interesting, but best to be a bit wary when reading Bower's material. His accuracy is sometimes undermined by his fertile imagination.

Netanyahu posts café video after Iranian media rumours claim he had died
The explanation of the timing of the video is not convincing. Proof of life usually involves the individual concerned holding up a current newspaper on which the date is clearly visible

Religion is no joking matter!
Neither Islam nor Christianity look much beyond the formation and experience of human life on Earth. Many more questions arise when considering the origins of the universe, the multiverse, and beyond.

Would you consider this to be an example of "hate speech."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson pictured with Jeffrey Epstein
Worth remembering that up to now neither Mandelson nor Mountbatten Windsor have ever faced any charges, and both continue to deny any wrongdoing.

Nonsensj Thanks for this detailed info. My own experience of many years based in Riyadh and working throughout the Middle East has left me very concerned about the intentions of the Islamists. It should be understood that once they are in control in any country moderate Muslims mostly fall in behind and follow the harsh diktats of the Islamic state.

Nonsense.

Antisemitism…is all of us
Semites exist throughout the Middle East, down into the horn of Africa, and beyond. They are not exclusively Jewish.

Is a Wife Who Does Not Work a Bad Thing?
Question as put is not specific to Thailand. Same issues occur everywhere. In my case I met my Thai wife in Bangkok in1984 when she was running a business renting out minibuses. I eventually married her in 1990 in Taiwan where I had been posted. She sold her business in order to be with me in Taipei and has not worked ever since. Eventually we retired back to Thailand where we still live happily together. She is now 72, I am 84. She is, and always has been, a wonderful partner and friend.
