We don’t know where Hamas are sending rockets from, it’s all speculation. I don’t trust “any” news outlet, as I said, I like to read them all and form my own opinion. Generally, I like Al Jazeera, but as you said, you have to look behind the obvious bias, and the same can be said of some of the posters here.

No, you just buy an air purifier, there are two months of the year that you can’t live here without one

I think that number came from the BBC, naturally all numbers of civilian deaths in Gaza will come from Gaza, and therefore Hamas Even so, if half that number is accurate, the claim in my post still stands, the Israeli Gov’t cannot be targeting Hamas only, they must be indiscriminate bombing.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t propagate numbers on behalf of anyone. This kind of sniping has to stop.

I suspect catastrophic battery failure is a lot less frequent than catastrophic ICE (engine) failure, it would be interesting to see some statistics on that. I did have a catastrophic engine failure on a Honda NSX, supposedly one of the most bulletproof petrol engines in a supercar.

I think it’s fairly clear that the Israeli government is not targeting Hamas in Gaza in general, if they were only targeting Hamas, we wouldn’t have 6000 civilians killed. You have to destroy a huge amount of property to kill 6000 people.

Cue Transman with asinine comment he thinks funny that is lost on everyone else…

I don’t think we’ve heard the whole story on that

Thanks

Maybe, maybe not. It’s impossible to know the real position. Al Jazeera lists 5 locations in South Gaza bombed yesterday, most likely with multiple rockets or bombs. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, though, generally I trust Al Jazeera. I also read Russia Today, though, I support Ukraine in the invasion, but I like to read everything available and form my own opinion.

I disagree, I support his assessment. I do think he should have been a lot clearer condemning Hamas, but he is absolutely correct about stopping the bombing of Gaza in the south where the Israeli government told citizens to move to for safety reasons. IMHO the bombing of the South is a crime. I missed that post, can you point it out for me?

If using the word Zionist is used as another form of antisemitism then I agree. I think the onus is on the user of the word to be extremely clear. Zionism is a movement/religion not a people. I can say I am anti-religion, most especially Islam, but I have no problem with any peoples or individuals following said religion. I am also against religion being in power as government, I support secular government with an impenetrable wall between church and state. It seems wherever we have religion in power we have problems.

People accused him of ignoring the reality of the slaughter of Israeli citizens by Hamas, he never condoned that and that is what he clarified.

I though he made anti Zionist remarks, did I miss something?

Agreed, his opinion remains unchanged that Israeli Gov’t must stop indiscriminate bombing of Gaza’s civilians, especially in the South where they told them to move to for safety reasons.

Yes, stay away !!!!

UN Chief said … Mr Guterres told reporters: "I am shocked by the misrepresentations by some of my statement... as if, as if I was justifying acts of terror by Hamas. This is false. It was the opposite." There seems to be a lot of that here too. It’s Shameful.

Excellent post

Chiang Rai is a horrible place. I sincerely suggest most AN members do not consider visiting or living here. Especially Bob Smith, Big Nok etc

As Looney, as the name, Elon Musk gives to his children

Congratulations

I saw a new Bz4x in Chiang Mai yesterday, I can’t imagine anyone buying that either. (I think that’s what they call it)

Is the Leaf still available? I thought it was withdrawn because of warranty claims on the battery as it lacked liquid cooling.

The seal has an excellent DynAudio sound system

Denude means to strip or make bare. I think we both agree violence leads to violence and hatred. Someone has to break that cycle. I don’t agree with wholesale letting off either, there has to be a quid pro quo of some sort, but not massacring innocent civilians. The likely outcome at the moment will be the hostages killed and the next generation of Palestinian children growing up wanting Jihad with Israel.
