Very little actual support from throughout the Middle East for a Palestinian state other than a few half-hearted sound bites. Palestinians generally neither liked nor trusted by the Arab world.

Indeed. In all the years I lived and worked in the Middle East (in Baghdad, Doha and Riyadh) I found very little sympathy/support for the Palestinians.

However one can think of worse places than Thailand to be stucked with no founds.

Thanks for the link. I will read on.

No bleeding heart, mate. Only facts.

Maybe your ludicrous assertion that the Philistines came from Greece was intended to be a joke. Anyway, if you are interested, it won't do you any harm to read at least parts of the Bible. To make it easy for you, the Philistines occupied parts of the coastal region of Canaan, and later Babylon. They have never settled anywhere.

Rubbish. Read the Bible.

Ignorance personified.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian state, and there never should be. The Palestinians, or Philistines as they were originally called, are neither liked nor trusted anywhere in the Middle East. Let Israel deal with them as it sees fit following the murder of it's men, women, children and babies by Palestinians on 7 October 2023.

First married a woman from Scotland in 1963. Divorced her in 1986. Played the field in Thailand and Taiwan for a couple of years. Met a lovely Thai lady in 1988, married her in 1990. Still happily married to her in 2025. Alpha or Beta ? I have no idea.

Are you in business ? Do you not realize that failures, as much as successes, are a part of business life? The challenge is to find a way to keep going no matter what. Ask any billionaire. They've all had their ups and downs.

Not really hard to believe. Trump, a businessman, tries to do what he says he's going to do. His opponents prefer smooth-talking politicians whose relationship with the truth is often distant, to say the least.

Humidity has increased recently but not to uncomfortable levels. I have experienced much worse living in other places, eg Lagos and Jeddah.

83 years old, going on 84. No insurance for many years. So far, so good.

Somsak, a Thaksin puppet, has been told to get a share of the cannabis action by introducing legislation which favours larger investors over the smaller growers. Typical hypocrisy from Thaksin.

A Giuffre allegation. She got away with it, and a large payoff. She was much troubled by accusations of dishonesty, and sadly took her own life in Australia.

Kindly provide details proving I am wrong.

Whatever the reason, Trump threw Epstein out. As far as I know they never met again, but I could be wrong about that.

Trump threw Epstein out of Mar a Logo over 20 years ago.

Many of the girls allegedly trafficked were more than happy to take the money they were paid at the time. Now they want more money in retrospect. Only Ghislaine is in jail for her involvement, no one else. I'm not sure she deserved such a long sentence, and personally I feel she should be released soon.

Grow up.

Starmer says he will recognize a Palestinian state if there is no ceasefire. This begs the question will he not recognize a Palestinian state if there is a ceasefire ? Very odd. He needs an upgraded speech writer.

Since childhood I've never slept more than 3/4 hours per night. Now 83 years old, and with an enlarged prostate, I stopped worrying about lack of sleep some time ago and as a result I feel much better. Prostate enlargement benign, so far.

The more the numbers of countries owning atomic bombs increases the greater the risk of a nuclear war. No plans. As a kid in WW2 I remember descending into bomb shelters a couple of times. I doubt they would protect against a nuclear fallout unless heavily insulated and provisioned.

A report in the UK's so-called Independent newspaper. 'Nuff said.
