It is not a distraction, nor a straw man argument. You and the Gazan arabs label the Bedouins thieves, as violent thugs. The Bedouins have been dispossessed of their land. You are ever so righteous in your support of the Gazan arabs, and accept their blood libel against the Bedouins who are fighting for their survival. The Bedouins were nomads with their flocks who grazed Gaza. The arabs came and ran them off their land. It wasn't the Israelis. Now the Bedouins are trying to preserve their culture and the little dignity that they have left. What did you expect them to do when denied access to the generous western aid and run off of their lands? There was a time when Bedouins could take their herds and flocks of animals across the Gaza/Israel border without problem. The neighboring Israeli farmers may not have liked it, but the Bedouins had an accepted right of grazing. At worst, a Bedouin might steal a chicken, but there was never violence. The Gazan arabs forced the Israelis to fortify the border and to block access. The arab terrorists would try and pass as Bedouins to infiltrate into Israel, further eroding the safety and security of the Bedouins. The Israelis who have come since the fences and guard posts don't remember the Bedouins, further eroding the Bedouin position. The point is that the Bedouins are forced to arm themselves and to do what they do because westerners like you don't support them and instead assume that the Gazan arabian arabs are the rightful occupants and lavish all their aid on the Gazans. No one ever speaks up on behalf of the original inhabitants, the genuine arab residents, the Bedouins. Instead, they repeat lies and falsehoods that characterize bedouins as thieves and thugs. They are not. They are a hospitable and warm people. Yes, a bit rough around the edges, but they are decent and loyal. They are discriminated against because they do practice the same rigid interpretation of religion as do Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others.

Not at all. The media was used as cover for hostile acts. See above.

Journalists or embedded Hamas operatives? Targets or collateral damage, intentionally sacrificed by Hamas? The obscenity is your refusal to acknowledge this and to instead make a broad generalization. Do you remember Mahmoud Al-Kumi and Hussam Salama? They were celebrated journalists too. They worked for the Al-Aqsa television network, which has a monopoly in Gaza and is controlled by Hamas. They were actually Hamas operatives and were neutralized by the IDF before they could complete an operation. They were buried as glorious martyrs in the service of Hamas, which acknowledged their "heroic" military actions against Israel. Muhammed Riad al-Shamalah — the commander of Islamic Jihad militants in southern Gaza and the head of Islamic Jihad’s military training programs used a vehicle with Press designation painted on it for his transport. He died when the IDF shot hit his Mitsubishi Lancer which had press TV painted on. There were no television or communications equipment inside the car. Aside from this, it was quite a miracle how he was able to operate a new vehicle normally used by NGO humanitarian groups, since there was supposedly an embargo on non humanitarian new vehicles entering Gaza. Do you remember Mohammed Abu Aisha? He was a "journalist" for Al-Quds Radio. He looked very patriotic in his Islamic Jihad uniform. Somehow, I don't think he was offering the farm report, or local news updates like Mrs. Baboulala's delivery of her 12th child in 12 years. One of the multiple "Media Centers" in Gaza that was targeted by the IDF was also home to the offices of Islamic Jihad. The IDF sent a warm welcome into the Islamic jihad office, targeting - Baha Abu al-Ata: Commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Gaza City Brigade; - Tissir Mahmoud Mahmed Jabari: Senior Islamic Jihad operative; - Halil Batini: Senior Islamic Jihad operative; Ramez Harab: the former head of the Sheikh Rajuan Division Islamic Jihad admitted that their operatives were hiding in the media building and confirmed that at least one of them was killed. The AP carried the report and the Islamic Jihad admission. Hamas and other militants often used media buildings for military purposes. For example, on the 7th floor of a media building in the Rimal district of Gaza City, Hamas was operating an intelligence and command center. The IDF surgically targeted it. In another media building used by international journalists, Hamas was using antennas on the roof to communicate with its field operatives. On Nov. 18, the IDF surgically targeted the roof: And on and on. And nowhere in your diatribe, do you recognize or acknowledge that Hamas, Islamic Jihad et al, use "journalists" as cover for their activities and operate from media centers. Where is your finger pointing and condemnation?

That did not work out too well with Al Jazeera and the Saudi news network. They turned their "reporting" into anti Israel campaigns, and some "journalists" were affiliated with terrorist groups and used the cover of the Press identification to support terrorist activity. If Al Jazeera was blocked from entering while others were allowed in, the news media would scream discrimination. An Al Jazeera reporter was just exposed as circulating false information blaming the IDF for the most recent alleged deaths at an aid center. The lies that were circulating on social media was repeated in this forum. The BBC has been obliged to retract its story that relied on the Al Jazeera information. However, the groups who promoted the claim have not, and some AN prolific posters have stayed quiet. That's what your "journalists" are doing. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ceqgvwyjjg8t Claim graphic video is linked to aid distribution site in Gaza is incorrect an Al Jazeera journalist offered "New footage reveals the horrific massacre committed by Israeli forces near a US aid distribution site in southern Gaza."

That's your western bias, repeating the stereotypes circulated by the arabs. The Gazan arabs stole the Bedouin land, and dispossessed them. This was enabled by the Turkish occupation. You have forgotten that long before the arab settlers arrived from the Arabian peninsula and from the Suez canal project, the original inhabitants were Bedouin nomads. They lived in relative peace with the jewish community that had been there as long as the Bedouins had. The jews stayed in the small coastal settlements and had some farms, while the Bedouins roamed the land moving from grazing area to grazing area. The Bedouins have a legitimate claim to much of what is called Gaza today. The arabs who live there now drove the Bedouins off, refusing to recognize their land rights. The Bedouins were denied access to the generous aid that flowed from western sources. While Fatah and then Hamas looted the aid, the Bedouins received little, except from the Israelis, who would still offer medical care and some assistance. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that some of the Bedouin must rely on crime to survive. The Bedouin have suffered at both the hands of the Gazan arabs and the Israelis, and to now be called thieves by some westerner adds to the burden and abuse these people have suffered.

The fungus is already present in the USA and has been responsible for previous catastrophic outbreaks. It is a fungus found around the world.

Or maybe they were like some of the researchers I have worked with; Arrogant and not willing to navigate the bureaucratic paperwork and delays, because they wanted it asap. If the fungus is more virulent or resistant to fungicide, then the Chinese nationals were irresponsible and idiots. A lab leak or even the loss of baggage and discard of the fungus samples improperly could have resulted in a catastrophic impact on the food supply of North America. The likelihood of their being saboteurs is remote. Hundreds of Chinese nationals enter the USA every day, along with US nationals. It would be easy to contaminate their personal effects with contagion if that was the intent. larger amounts of spores can easily be smuggled in if there is a need. After all, fentanyl, cocaine, heroin etc. easily enters the USA in much larger quantities than what was stopped here.

The SAAB CEO did admit in 2022 that the aircraft was not as good as the F-16 or Rafaele. The Gripen represents a very light fighter in a class below standard lightweights such as the American F-16 or French Rafale, and comparable to the Indian Tejas and Sino-Pakistani F-16. The aircraft uses the same American F404 engine as the Tejas, a powerplant originally designed for the U.S. Navy's F-18 Hornet fighter, while the JF-17 uses a derivative of the RD-33 engine built for the Hornet’s Soviet rival the MiG-29. https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/ceo-of-sweden-s-saab-admits-extreme-frustration-as-clients-don-t-want-gripen-fighters-no-sales-for-over-eight-years The Gripen's advantage is that Thailand has past experience with the aircraft, and it is more cost effective than the US products. An added benefit is that it is unlikely that any bribes are paid. The transaction will be subject to Sweden's anti bribery laws.

A victim of social engineering and extortion is found at any age. You are obviously living in a bubble influenced by your own bias and lack of knowledge. Social engineering fraud comes in many forms. It is psychological manipulation. In the USA, the FTC found that 40% of adults age 20-29 lost money to fraud, while only 18% of adults over the age of 70 did so, challenging the narrative of older adults falling victim to scams. https://blog.knowbe4.com/ftc-study-millennials-are-the-biggest-victims-of-social-engineering Some of the more popular variations of social engineering are; - Romance scams. - Investment/Boiler room fraud. The callers can be relentless and target older people and other vulnerable groups. - Sextortion. It targets young people usually aged 13-16. How do you think adults are able to con western teenagers into sending nude photos and then extorting them? A common scam targeting vulnerable people are extortionists send emails claiming they've hacked the victim’s computer, stolen compromising webcam footage, and accessed personal contacts. To make the threat more convincing, they often include breached data and a Google Street View image of the victim’s home. Victims are then pressured to pay a ransom, typically in Bitcoin, to prevent the supposed release of the compromising material. Here' s a primer on social engineering of kids; https://www.eset.com/blog/en/home-topics-1/family-safety-online/highlighting-common-social-engineering-attacks-for-kids/

Again, I suggest you have a closer look at what happened to India's military. Try this. https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2025/05/15/pakistan-wields-chinese-weapons-against-india-and-analysts-take-notes/ You are letting your prejudice influence you. While the western world has been asleep at the wheel, cocky and arrogant, the Chinese have been working hard, studying and applying lessons learned over the years. The China of 2025 is not the China of 1975.

A psychiatric hold for an assessment.

China has been supplying Cambodia over the past few years. it has also been training the Cambodian military. The Indians got a bloody nose when they recently attacked Pakistan and lost several aircraft to the Chinese armed and trained Pakistanis. Thailand may have a similar experience.

Patong.

I believe the initial reference was the claim that new immigrants to Canada were treated better than Canadian nationals. In respect to Thai, Cambodian and Burmese children, I will take your word for it, as I don't have anything to do with local children.

it's the highly irritating noise that they make when they get excited. It's like a high pitched screech.

Similar thefts occur every day in the "advanced" and "educated" nations. Social engineering is a common fraud, and targets the elderly. The most common is the Revenue/Taxation office calling and threatening. Next up is the grandchild in distress. Thailand, had a different variation.

I am not a Thai citizen, therefore the national pension practices of Thailand do not impact my life. What conflict with my ideology is there? What hypocrisy?

Do you?

At his stage in life, he is lucky if he has a bowel movement.

Oh, so you live in Rawai or Chiang Mai?

Maybe it is Only Fans activity. Listen against the bedroom wall. Do you hear moaning, groans of ecstasy? Naughty talk? Have you checked the rubbish bin for sexual aid products? Maybe drop a few hints that you would like to make money too and that you want to expand your experiences. BTW can i call you Bob? Or is it Georgia? Or maybe Colin?

Evil practice. Never innocent. One of the world's most notorious deep fake nude websites was shut down following a combined Danish and Canadian journalist investigation from CBC, Bellingcat, Politiken, and Tjekdet. The man behind the abuse was a hospital pharmacist living in Canada .https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2163333/canadian-pharmacists-double-life-key-person-behind-worlds-most-notorious-deepfake-porn-site

You would be surprised at how many 30 year olds are using surrogacy, IVF and other methods to conceive. I was flabbergasted, when my work colleagues and my family members were telling me of their friends and family experiences.

I suggest you watch the short on IG where it appeared. It was an all volunteer activity and was a message of appreciation to the employees. All it did was show that there are AC employees who are LBQT etc. and that they perform all roles, and are as reliable and as good as anyone else. The airline has done similar them activities for ethnic minority groups. The intent is to assure prospective employees and customers that the airline is not hostile to them. There was no gay message or advocacy to turn people gay. The airline also does a Christmas series of videos.

Do you really like what you see? Perhaps that is why you must seek solace in cannabis.
