The difference between a foreign man and Thai woman couple versus the opposite perhaps depends on the Thai view of the married couple where the man is dominant. I believe that this is also reflected in the law, so maybe there would have to be equality of the parties in a marriage. The question of whether one is a foreigner is a subsidiary issue. I wonder whether there is any difference between the North which is culturally matrilocal and Bangkok which is patrilocal, i.e. like China, in attitudes regarding mixed marriages.

An earlier example of interference in internal affairs was in 1979 when Vietnam invaded Cambodia to depose the Khmer Rouge. China then attacked Vietnam, but were repulsed.

Please desist from obvious misrepresentation.

My understanding is that hospitals is where deaths are recorded, where the dead are identified so there is no duplication of reporting. You seem confused, which is understandable in the face of IDF propaganda.

The present cannot be understood without the historical context. Some feel that it's in their interest to erase history.

Since the 32.000 figure is deaths recorded in hospitals, the IDF 13,000 figure as a body count is independent of the statistic from hospitals.

Regarding radiation therapy, and specifically brachytherapy, this is an excellent explanatory link: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/treating/radiation-therapy.html Brachytherapy used to be for low grade cases, but I see that now there are more options for using it. Laparoscopic surgery should work if the prostate volume is 35 ml. Why TURP these days?

I seem to remember years ago reading that in the 30s the tallest building was a 7 story whorehouse in Yaowarat.

This is an incredible piece of propaganda. The hospital complex has been destroyed. We see none of that in this video. I question the aid distribution depicted. Was that in fact supplies for the IDF operation?

I assumed that you were referring to an IDF figure, not Hamas. Anyway, that number has nothing to do with the 32,000 tallied victims.

In fact Israel does care about ICJ, and they are trying to get the troops to avoid posting incriminating stuff online. A final judgement would trigger national laws in some countries (including US) that would cut off arms to Israel.

The mortality figures are of people wo died in hospitals or whose bodies were brought there. They were identified. In past IDF operations the casualty figures were found to be accurate. The IDF body count estimates are another matter, and what happened to the intact bodies of Hamas fighters is unclear. Some were taken back to Israel.

If the Hamas fighters were in the hospital, were they the wounded being treated? It's quite unclear why this operation took two weeks, and how the fighting migrated from 100 m away. It would take an international investigation to know who the victims were and the circumstances of their deaths. Normally there would be a lot of cellphone clips, but I haven't seen any from the time that IDF entered the hospital grounds until they left.

That was 2005.

It's so light that it's easy to push start.

I have been going to Dr Chalermpong at Ram for years. He does do exams before making a treatment recommendation.

I had a washed US passport and laundered money while I was staying with a friend in the US. Maybe she didn't put too much soap, since the ink only ran a bit. The cash looked immaculate. I continued to use the passport for another 8 years with no complaints from airlines or immigrations.

"When the Jews went back to their historic land, it was a barren wasteland—sand, desert and nothing else." This is a trope that has been around since the 19th Century, part of the original Zionist settlement campaign.

In the latest attack on Al Shifa Hospital, IDF took away news reporting equipment, etc, so that there is little evidence of what happened. There was reporting that there was fighting, but around 100 m from Al Shifa. On a previous operation on Al Shifa, in an IDF guided tour of the "command center" in the basement, they pointed out the "terrorist staff list", actually a calendar, and showed off some Hamas equipment that IDF could have brought with them. Propaganda. It seems to me that all these attacks on hospitals are just part of a strategy to make Gaza unlivable.

It will take the ICJ years to issue a definitive judgement. There will need to be sanctions long before that if another Nakba is to be avoided. This is a matter for the world to decide. It is not up to Israel's whim.

Many Western governments still do in spite of their people being strongly in favor of a ceasefire.

Maybe it came from a photo of holding the Israeli flag.

Your statement sounds quite paranoid. You are the only person using the phrase "drinking blood of the poor palestinian babies" which evokes some Medieval Christian suspicion of dark Jewish practices. If Israel went back to living in the pre-1967 lines and did not threaten its neighbors, the Middle East could have peace.

It would have ended long before the Ayatollahs if in 1948 Israel had compensated the 750,000 displaced Palestinians and returned movable property of the Palestinians people to what remained of their lands. Now Israel itself is in the throes of its own fanatics, not a happy prospect for the world.

EVen the recent UN report had to admit that there was no victim testimony, only second-hand allegations of rape. NYT and other sources debunked a lot of the propaganda, but not before politicians in the West like Biden reported it as fact!
