You’re right there too. Same situation Russia and Zaphoriza Nuclear Power plant.

No, they don’t have the right to target it, it would be a war crime, if they did that, knowing it was full of patients.

And therein lies the problem.

ROFLPMP, I am too old for trainers to be any help. IMHO all religion is nonsense, if I had my way, no religious instruction would be given to kids until they were teens, religion would disappear in a generation or two. Neither my 2 sons or 2 adopted daughters were given any religious instruction, they don’t believe in any great JuJu in the sky. 12,000 gods, all claiming to be the true one, poppycock!

I think AEB has it’s place even in Thailand. LKA is a pain in the a$$ The self driving capability in the MG4 is psychopathic, it keeps trying to kill you.

and one of the most corrupt

I wouldn't be very happy if some Italian told me to leave because his ancestor had a Roman Villa on my land. The second word I would say to him would be OFF!

Fair point.

More than 70% of Jewish men and half of the Arab men whose DNA was studied inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors who lived in the region within the last few thousand years. The results match historical accounts that some Moslem Arabs are descended from Christians and Jews who lived in the southern Levant, a region that includes Israel and the Sinai. They were descendants of a core population that lived in the area since prehistoric times. (science.org) IMHO, historic claims to any land are hogwash, they die with the original people.

I wonder if the software is installed on the Seal to support the camera? And what about storage? You’ll need a storage card or USB stick somewhere too. I think I read somewhere that the resolution on the BYD camera is not very good?

Arabs and Jews are one people who have become separated by religious nonsense.

I can’t answer that because I don’t know. I just know what’s happening is the wrong solution, it’s not a solution either.

Yes I have heard that a lot. Except it won’t work. Firstly, you will never get rid of all of Hamas, a core group will stay hidden within the population and will just rise again. Secondly, this just prolongs the cycle of young Palestinian children growing up hating Israeli’s and wanting to participate in Holy Jihad.

Firstly, I don’t think Hamas should have attacked Israel. Regarding retaliation, I do agree with retaliation, but not revenge. I think it’s important to protect civilians and retaliation should be proportional. I have a suspicion proportionality to the Israeli’s means 10 to 1. I think 10 to 1 is in Netanyahu’s mind. Time will tell.

I make it a rule not to drink until early evening or I spend the afternoon asleep. I often make up for it in the evening, especially when on holiday, like now in Vietnam. Age does take its toll as you say, but I learned a very important lesson with age, only cheap wine gives hangovers.

Perhaps.

it’s easy to let anger take over and then you can appear to be something you’re not. Alcohol does that to me, I suddenly find some people much more attractive than I would otherwise.

We will have to agree to disagree on that. For me the number of civilian fatalities confirms your point that if they intended to kill it would be much higher. It also confirms my point that they don’t care or it would be much lower. I expect the civilian fatalities to exceed 14,000 ultimately.

I condemn both Hamas and the Israeli response. I am condemn Hamas unconditionally, Israel not so.

I have saved it, I will try and listen to it tonight. Thanks.

IMHO Islam is an evil religion whilst Judaism is harmless (just pure nonsense).

I have heard that repeated a lot and whilst I agree with it, I think the point is not that Israel wants to murder Gazans but more Israel doesn’t care if they are collateral damage, or if revenge is the motive even secretly hopes they are the collateral damage. It helps their cause politically back home.

That’s nonsense.

I have given the exact law, notification is irrelevant, it’s not mentioned. You have to reasonably believe proportionality, and if you have reason to believe the civilians will ignore you then you are at risk. There is a principle in law, you cannot force an agreement by saying something unilaterally, it has to be agreed by both parties, and whilst I am quoting civilian law, I suspect it applies to international humanitarian law equally.

Informing you are going to bomb does not make it ok, unless you are certain that by doing so the civilians will leave. If the civilians refuse to leave and you know or have reason to believe that, then bombing is illegal. The specific law makes no mention of informing making it ok. Current civilian casualty numbers are suggesting that it is reasonable to believe that informing you’re going to bomb makes no difference and could be illegal if civilian casualties are not promotional to military advantage.
