  1. 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.
  2. “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
  3. 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!!

  5. Maybe the TM30 dates to 1979, but before it only practically concerned hotels. There was no enforced requirement for foreigners living at home to report themselves until after the last coup.
  6. Living in Chiang Mai, I found that the practical solution is to set up online filing for TM30, then file whenever staying overnight in a hotel or returning from abroad. Online filing is quite easy once you get the hang of it
  7. British Airways is IAG, #23 on the list.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. No, nobody was being killed until the tank fired and killed them.
  11. BBC seems to have just recently gotten a freelance journalist Gazan to supply video and comment.
  12. They were in the Gulf long before WW 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf_Residency So that part of Arabia is not relevant since Turks were not in control there. Brits never occupied what became Saudi Arabia. They just installed a Hashemite to rule in Mecca to replace the Turk's man.
  13. Not B.S. After the huge number of target identifications, there is only minutes or seconds to authorize the bombing. No need anymore for seniors or legal people to be consulted.
  14. This is Israeli media. Reputation here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/972-magazine/
  15. Al Jazeera is the only news organization operating in Gaza. As others have asked, why won't Israel allow other news media into Gaza?
  16. You are disingenuous or ignorant of how AI works. It pulls text from sources. Maybe the poster got that from the original source.
  17. Britain & France did not occupy Arabia. Why are you creating fake factoids? The British promised independence for Palestine in return for the Arab resistance against the Turks.
  18. How about free of Israeli occupation in West Bank and Gaza, and settlers going home to Israel or their countries of origin?
  19. https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/ @Presto and I have posted this link. Anyone who wants to understand the depth of IDF war crimes whould read this lengthy link. From this evidence it's not surprising that the ICC is rumored to be preparing indictments of IDF figures.
  20. The December UNGA vote for a ceasefire was 153 to 10. Who is commending IDF???? Netanyahu is worried about being indicted by the ICC, along with IDF bosses.
