  1. This sounds like junta propaganda. Arakan including Mrauk U is controlled by the rebel Arakan Army. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/myanmar
  2. Well, then no need for Trump and his "Peace Board".
  3. Several European countries supplied weapons or weapons components for attacking Gaza: UK, Germany, especially.
  4. I suspect that nobody wants to invest in the latest iteration of the Trump Riviera plan, so now he is trying to get the funds by billion dollar membership fees. Gaza is not a golf course! https://www.commondreams.org/news/great-trust-gaza https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/08/31/trump-gaza-plan-riviera-relocation/ So what is the profit-sharing envisioned this time? BBC Verify recently reported that the IDF has moved the "yellow line" by up to 300 meters into the zone where Gazans remain in several areas. In Jabaliya in northern Gaza, after moving the line, they then demolished all the buildings in the newly-grabbed territory, to make it look like the already demolished areas under their control. Israel moves Yellow Line deeper into Gaza, satellite imag...Israel placed and later moved control markers in three areas, with some placed deeper inside Gaza than maps suggested.An earlier report by BBC program (Security Brief) showed the actual demolition of around 40 residential buildings in one go (at 6:00 in the program). This helps Trump to get rid of buildings that could be repaired, to entirely erase the Gaza that people knew. Maybe the UAE would join, if there is any chance at profit.
  5. How would a foreign homeless person get in the country? Some Buddhist from the area, maybe not Cambodia, would probably not have a problem being welcomed.
  6. As for people resigning, now we hear that there will be an executive board with the usual suspects. People will be blindsided when they discover that their input counts for nothing, and they don't want their reputations ruined by association with a further disaster for the Palestinian people.
  7. Your memory is short. How about Liz Truss?
  8. The Bantu reference comes from apartheid in South Africa, and it's part of apartheid. Before Otober 7th, there were 550 checkpoints in the West Bank, ostensibly for "security" and very efficient for strangling the Palestinian economy. Now there are around a 1000.
  9. With the Trump regime cutting off funds to 66 agencies, many from the UN, and being $1.5bn in arrears on its UN dues, UN is terrified to say that Israel is an apartheid state. Jimmy Carter issued a book in 2006 entitled "Palestine - Peace Not Apartheid". Human Rights Watch and Amnesty Internation both issued apartheid reports: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/5141/2022/en/ (2022) "Amnesty International’s new investigation shows that Israel imposes a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians across all areas under its control: in Israel and the OPT, and against Palestinian refugees, in order to benefit Jewish Israelis. This amounts to apartheid as prohibited in international law." This report runs around 200 pages. https://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/media_2021/04/israel_palestine0421_web_0.pdf 213 pages The ICJ opinion on apartheid in the Occupied Paiestinian Territories is here: https://www.icj-cij.org/node/204176
  10. I ordered some books from Amazon US scheduled to arrive in January, but they did not include the 7% charge, even though in the past they did include provisions for customs duties on items other than books. So how are books supposed to be handled now?
  11. I use the Thunderbird email browser. It has the possibility of multiple email clients including gmail. I tried including gmail, but the way I had the browser set up, it was going to download all of my gmails in webmail (not archived), so I gave up on that. My main email provider is set in the Thunderbird browser (pre-Nova version) as pop3, which means that messages can be set to be deleted from webmail when downloaded. Can Proton be set this way, so that messages don't have to be deleted by accessing webmail, even if Proton messages are set to be encrypted?
  12. What about Phayao?
  13. The LTR visa requires reporting once a year, so can that be done online with the same login as for the normal 90-day report?
  14. Several historians in recent years have seen archives finally opened from the 1940s. This reveals that there was a premeditated ethnic cleansing of around 750000 Palestinians from what is now Israel (within its internationally recognized borders). There was no intention for the Palestinians to be left in place in peace.
  15. MAybe the growth in the Clinton presidency was helped by a surged in productivity, a major factor being the spread of WIndows programs.
  16. I think that all presidencies from George Bush 2nd have been failed presidencies. Clinton failed in important ways as well, but an exceptional economy made him look better.
  17. Could your name match a person on international watch lists?
  18. Maybe the bank will suggest that you open a new passbook account, but my experience is long ago.
  19. Regarding reform of the Palestinian Authority, there was reference somewhere to a Trump plan from 2020. In this plan. the PA shall "take no action, and shall dismiss all pending actions, against the State of Israel, the United States and any of their citizens before the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and all other tribunals" and "take no action against any Israeli or United States citizen before Interpol or any non-Israeli or United States (as applicable) legal system". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Israel–Palestine_peace_plan The idea is for the Palestinians to give up any legal recourse for the actions of not only the IDF but also American settlers in the West Bank, it seems to me. I suppose that Palestinian individuals, especially those also being American citizens, could sue in US courts. Could they make criminal complaints against American settlers and funders of settlements?
  20. Remember Abu Ghraib in Iraq where the US tortured and killed Iraqis, mostly civilians. The US military created 11+ investigations, all separated from each other, to obfuscate the responsibility of senior officers. This Wiki has huge detail but overlooks this aspect, although the responsibility at the top of the chain is thoroughly discussed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse
  21. The Germans should only supply weapons if Israel stops attacking Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank Palestinians.
  22. It would help to require that the rebel militias, especially the Arakan Army, and their political leaders agree that the Rohingya be accepted as Burmese nationals and that those taking refuge in Bangladesh be allowed to return and rebuiild their communities. Furnishing defensive weapons, especially anti-drone and anti-aircraft, would be a game changer.
  23. If someone withdraws a lot of money, wouldn't that lead to questions? Transferring to another account in the same company name would not be an issue. This was a technique used in the 1MDB scam in Malaysia.
