Israel restricts access to the Haram al-Sharif a/k/a Temple Mount to many Palestinians from the West Bank. True, they are not Israeli citizens despite being under Zionist control since 1967, the reason being that then they would presumably have the right to vote in elections. Since long before the Islamic Republic of Iran, non-Muslims cannot enter the holiest part of the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad.

Israel is not a theocracy. It's an apartheid state, and the ICJ has confirmed this. The cases involving US National Guard (and ICE) may be the result of poor training. While this was promised in the aspirational "Declaration of Independence", this document promised that a constituion would be enacted by October 1948, but it hasn't happened yet. The promised terms also included equal rights for all, but this is a contradiction to the ongoing apartheid laws and practices.

I try to avoid using a card, so I wired the cash to Bumrungrad. When I had surgery in Chiang Mai, I paid cash. The main payment for surgery was just before it happened. Someone came to my room to collect the money.

Did you live in Gaza before 1948? Please provide a link for your population claims. As for other Arabs hating Palestinians, it was in 1964 that I learned about the Nakba when I went to visit friends in Saudi Arabia. They were seriously concerned about the situation in Palestine. Before that I grew up reading letters to the editor, really propaganda, in our local paper about the the new arrivals making desert bloom, etc, etc, plus the Exodus movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_(1960_film).

There is no other country that has had the effect of the tail wagging the dog. Netanyahu says and Trump/Biden does. In the last election they paid $20mn to unseat two Democratic representatives. The Israel Lobby is not just ADL and AIPAC. There are hundreds of smaller operations with various specialties to suppress opposition to what Israel does.

Time will tell. Various wrongdoers indicted by the ICC are now in jail.

Your information is wildly incorrect. Wikipedia says that the Jewish population of Gaza was 150, with 80 living in Gaza City: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Gaza#:~:text=In%20the%201945%20village%20survey,Col.

I hope that the Board of Peace vanishes, but that may depend on whether UAE puts up real money along with some Zionist "investors" to make the Trump Riviera unstoppable, at least until January 2029. By then all the remaining structures may have been bulldozed over the remains of 10000++ Gazans. Then there would be much less to investigate. Those countries that he invited do not have to pay in the initial period. In the past, Egypt cooperated with Israel in controlling Rafah traffic. Hamas was not favored by the Egyptian military even when the Muslim Brotherhood government was in power (after Mubarak).

No need for Netanyahu to talk about the Israel Lobby. It's doing a great job of wrecking America, but since Mearsheimer & Walt's book in 2007, no scholars dare to mention "israel Lobby"!

Nothing heading towards Israel, so why is that country still bombing, droning Lebanon and Gaza?

Would Iran bots waste time with an obscure website such as this? There are bigger fish to fry.

Maybe rape is not a crime in Israel, if done by a VIP Orthodox rabbi, as this report suggests: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-62984847 Or maybe Times of Israel isn't interested in what Virginia Giuffre had to say in Ghislaine Maxwell's trial about Ehud Barak. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/jeffrey-epsteins-survivor-virginia-giuffre-was-raped-by-well-known-prime-minister-memoir-9481907

Where did you hear that Indonesia paid $1bn? That is not required for a limited time membership on the Board. Israel for now controls the access from Egypt, but does not issue visas for entering Gaza. Collaborating with Israel would be politically dangerous for the Indonesian president, thus the stated aims are to be medical and reconstruction aid. It's unclear to me that Israel can dictate where the Indonesians locate themselves in the zone not occupied by Israel.

Many countries would like to help Gaza, but the Board of Peace and Israel make it impossible since cooperation, read collaboration, means financing the Trump Riviera, a real estate deal not for the benefit of Palestinians. Until Trump (if ever) orders Israel out of the Philadelphia Corridor between Egypt and Gaza, the aid needed cannot flow and the people cannot go out and come back in.

If that commenter was American, back in the day, the Geneva Conventions did not exist, besides which the US government made contracts with various tribes to legalize the land grabs. Israel, created by the General Assembly, was supposed to take back the expelled Palestinians or compensate them. What it has been doing since 1967 is totally illegal, as the ICJ has decided.

Basically, the Jewish population of Israel needs a head change and reeducation. When I look at the behaviour of the West Bank settlers, they are not proper Jews and do not respect others or the Commandments. They should be banned (and some sent to the Hague for the rest of their lives). A long time ago it became obvious that successive Israeli governments had no intention to honor the spirit of Oslo, which was not a viable agreement if Israel was not going to act in good faith. The viable alternative is to formally recognize Israel as an apartheid state and invoke universal sanctions. "Negotiations" at this point are futile.

Only another 3 million docs yet to be revealed.

The ICJ will decide. The issue is genocide.

They said "military". CIA is not military.

Chocolate is poisonous for cats.

Adult ADHD + imcipient dementia?

Blair has a terrible record in the Middle East. It sounds like he's Israel's choice.

They don't want to be on a board with Russia and/or Netanyahu, want to avoid association with a vile exploitation of the Gazans.

Do you mean a durable power of attorney as in American law? This can be used for a person on the verge of possible infirmity for another person to manage his/her affairs.
