Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
vinny41 replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Yet no-one can provided independently verified evidence of The Quincy Institute being extremely antisemitic. Did Senate, Tom Cotton provided independently verified evidence of The Quincy Institute being antisemitic within their 1st month of openiing I suspect that Benjamin Netanyahu is unable to provide verified evidence that US universities were being overrun by antisemitism Sanders hits back at Netanyahu: ‘It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable’ US senator says Israeli prime minister is using antisemitism to distract attention from ‘extremist and racist government’ policies https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/bernie-sanders-benjamin-netanyahu-israel-gaza-war -

Why Is Tom Cotton Hurling the Charge of Anti-Semitism At the Quincy Institute? Unable to hold his laughter upon hearing Cotton’s remarks, Andrew Bacevich, founding president of the Quincy Institute, responded, “The guy is a fool, obviously. On Wednesday, in remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Tom Cotton (R-AR) accused the Quincy Institute of enabling antisemitism. The institute was founded one month ago. https://nationalinterest.org/feature/why-tom-cotton-hurling-charge-anti-semitism-quincy-institute-112581 -

None of those links provide independently verified evidence of being extremely antisemitic. The Quincy Institute's co-founders include:[12] Andrew Bacevich, president Eli Clifton, senior advisor Suzanne DiMaggio, chairman Trita Parsi, executive vice president Stephen Wertheim The Quincy Institute was co-founded by Andrew Bacevich, a former U.S. Army officer who fought in the Vietnam War and later became a professor of history at Boston University.[2] Bacevich is currently chairman of the board at the Quincy Institute.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Institute_for_Responsible_Statecraft Weaponization of antisemitism The exploitation of accusations of antisemitism for political purposes, especially to counter anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel,[1] may be described variously as weaponization of antisemitism, instrumentalization of antisemitism, or playing the antisemitism card.[2] Such accusations have been criticized as a form of smear tactics.[3][needs copy edit] Some writers have compared this to playing the race card.[4][5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaponization_of_antisemitism Here is Netanyahu playing the antisemitism card Sanders hits back at Netanyahu: ‘It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable’ US senator says Israeli prime minister is using antisemitism to distract attention from ‘extremist and racist government’ policies https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/bernie-sanders-benjamin-netanyahu-israel-gaza-war -

I take it there is no evidence of them being extremely antisemitic. Cotton did not respond by publication time to a request for further comment on the anti-Semitism of the Quincy Institute. https://www.timesofisrael.com/republican-accuses-soros-funded-think-tank-of-fostering-anti-semitism/ -

From your own link “It’s unfortunate that Tom Cotton is making blatantly false accusations of anti-Semitism against the Quincy Institute,” the institute said on Twitter. “Cotton’s smear shows a profound disrespect for victims of anti-Semitism and undermines efforts to combat bigotry.” So where the evidence of them being extremely antisemitic. -

Foreigners Detained for Illegal Daycare on Koh Pha Ngan

licensed daycare centre requirements The daycare manager must comply with a set of conditions in order to be eligible to run such a center. These are: proper training: adequate courses are needed to perform this type of work and the applicant must bring and proof of graduation; moral conduct: the applicant must not be impaired morally or deficient in any manner and he/she must have no record of misconduct with children; health: the person must be in good health, not addicted to narcotics and with no contagious disease; criminal record: the applicant’s criminal record must be clean; the only offenses permitted are petty ones. https://thaicompanyformation.com/opening-a-daycare-center-for-children-in-thailand/ Its unlikely that Gary Glitter would be approved to run a licensed daycenter for children as he would fail most of the above requirements but if he was running an unlicensed daycentre how many forum members would send their children to it -

Background to JINSA The Jewish Institute for National Security of America, or JINSA, announced last week that Gen. Frank McKenzie, who led CENTCOM from 2019 to April 2022, would become the Hertog Distinguished Fellow at JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy. JINSA, which was a major promoter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq 21 years ago (when its name was the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), has also long championed more confrontational military policies toward Iran, including providing Israel with the means to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and supporting it if it chooses to do so. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/mckenzie-jinsa/ -

It should be remembered that the UK Government has an outstanding record when it comes to advising their citizens on the types of vehicles to buy 2001 Gordon Brown slashed tax on diesel to entice drivers to switch from petrol because diesels produce much lower carbon dioxide emissions than petrol cars. that's what we were told at the time Dash for Diesel Why officials in Labour government pushed 'dash for diesel' https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41985715 Most people I know once they are aware that the Government is promoting a product they think once bitten twice shy

Port, car industry and supply chain executives told the UK Financial Times a major factor in the congestion was that some Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers were not selling their cars in Europe as quickly as expected. They also claimed ocean shipping delivery slots had been booked without ordering onward transport, which had led to lengthy dwell times at ports for vehicles that would normally be moved on to inland compounds and dealerships. One source claimed there were EVs imported from China that had been sitting at European ports for up to 18 months. “Nobody’s turning off production lines and making fewer cars at a time when sales are relatively static across Europe.” https://theloadstar.com/vehicle-imports-clogging-up-terminals-at-european-auto-ports/ Who would want to buy a vehicle that has been exposed to the outside weather conditions for up to 18 months

Toyota reported record annual net profit of ¥4.94 trillion ($31.9 billion) on Wednesday, but the world's largest automaker by sales warned that the current year would be less spectacular. For this year it expects net profit of ¥3.57 trillion, down 27.8%, because of investments in "growth areas" such as electric and hydrogen cars, as well as in "human capital." Toyota last month said it sold 11.1 million vehicles across all brands in fiscal 2023, up 5% and the first time the company had exceeded 10 million. A big factor was a 31% jump in sales of hybrid vehicles — combining internal combustion engines and batteries Toyota is however still aiming to sell 1.5 million EVs annually by 2026 and 3.5 million by 2030. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/08/companies/toyota-posts-record-yearly-net-profit/ Toyota seems to be doing better than other Brands They are not having a firesale to sell their vehicles like some EV Brands

UN Cuts Death of Women and Children in Gaza by Half
vinny41 replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
No, the United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half Israeli officials incorrectly claimed the UN reduced the number of women and children deaths in Gaza. The UN actually changed what data is used in their reports. The United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half. The UN recently changed what kinds of data they are reporting about fatalities. The total number of fatalities is still at an estimated 35,000. The UN’s report on May 8 did not include estimates, but the actual number of men, women, children, and elderly who had been killed. The report indicates that as of April 30, of the 34,844 total reported fatalities, 24,686 people have been identified. This is the new subset of data that didn't appear in the May 6 report, or any prior reports. In the May 8th UN report, of those 24,686 killed and identified, 4,959 were women and 7,797 were children. This dataset does not include the roughly 10,000 people who are reported dead and have yet to be identified. https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/israel-hamas-war/no-the-united-nations-didnt-reduce-the-number-of-women-and-children-killed-in-gaza-by-half/536-7d82cbfb-b6cf-4119-ae69-5925cb65e1a6 -

UN Cuts Death of Women and Children in Gaza by Half
vinny41 replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Has the UN really said fewer people were killed by Israel in Gaza? No, is the short answer. The UN confirmed this on Monday, when spokesperson Farhan Haq, responding to a question from Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo, said that the updated breakdown was only in reference to the smaller 24,686 death toll. “There’s about another 10,000 plus bodies who still have to be fully identified, and so then the details of those – which of those are children, which of those are women – that will be reestablished once the full identification process is complete, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/14/has-the-un-really-said-fewer-people-were-killed-by-israel-in-gaza So as stated the numbers weren't revised down as they published the numbers from the subset figure of 24,686 which doesn't include the 10,000 plus bodies and neither the total number or subset numbers include more than 10,000 reported missing or under the rubble”. -

BP closed its Solar business in 2011 British oil major BP shut down the remnants of its solar unit on Wednesday, https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bp-solar-idUSTRE7BK1CC20111221/ There has been a number of class A lawsuits against BP solar https://www.bpsolarsettlement.com/ And they issued a Product advisory in 2012 This product advisory is being issued to communicate a potential risk when using certain BP Solar modules in specific types of installations. Testing has shown there is a limited risk of cable to busbar disconnection in the junction box that, in rare cases, may lead to a thermal event in certain applications of the products referenced below. A thermal event, depending upon the severity, can cause secondary damage to surrounding materials that are not fire resistant. https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/business-sites/en/global/corporate/pdfs/products-and-services/bp-solar-product-advisory-2012.pdf
