Australia is an example of settler-colonialism. After years of maltreating the aboriginal population, It seems that they are making an effort to make amends. Let's hope that Israel wakes up and puts Smotrich and Ben Gvir and many others in prison for life. Actually, Smotrich should get multiple life sentences and the body should be kept in lockup until all sentences have expired.

“Palestine will be free from the river to the sea” has a non-violent meaning. Many in the movement for Palestinian rights had given up on the two-state solution because there are so many settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. For them, the answer is to end apartheid in Israel and the Occupied Territories and to accept the one-state solution. I think that this is naive. Perhaps they should be saying “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea. End Apartheid Now”, so that Australians and others do not mix this up with true anti-semitism. The founder of Human Rights Watch made an important comment about the anti-semitiam issue in discussing Gaza yesterday: https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2024/05/26/gps-0526-icc-charges-against-israel.cnn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryeh_Neier

US Embassy Refuses to Pay £14.6m London Congestion Charge Bill
placnx replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The Home Office should get creative and tow their vehicles. If they don't want to pay, then why don't they use the Underground. But of course they wouldn't want to pay the "tax", must ride for free. Those arrogant colonial scofflaws!! -

There is a new airline called Starlux. It flies from Chiang Mai and Bangkok to LAX, SFO, SEA. They have a deal with Alaska Airlines for onward flights from Seattle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlux_Airlines Connection time may depend on the days selected. I didn't check RT, OW was Bht 20000 for economy and 40000 for premium economy. The planes are new Airbuses. -
As you say, this is from November. Today there's a BBC News program "Eye Investigations: My War". At the end of the program the reporter for BBC Arabic Adnan El Bursh and his team are leaving Gaza on February 10th. This program will run again at 18:30 today. Excellent. The journalist in your clip left Gaza on December 5th, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67592794 He posted this after leaving, in memory: This journalist, Samer al Daqqa, working for al Jazeera, and his team was bombed on December 15th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samer_Abu_Daqqa I will now stop reading and commenting on these Gaza war threads until something signficant happens, for example, an indictment of war criminals or a significant ceasefire. The readership of these threads is just too small, and the abusive posting of propaganda makes rational discussion impossible.
