Of course I am. There, there - you won, dear, you're a winner.

No, it actually worked pretty well. It's amusing you don't see it.

Indeed. I think some of us would be very interested knowing your rabbit friend's take on things.

You really care. That's so touching.

I condemn people who ignore the content of posts they reply to.

In my experience, they say they will - trying to actually get them to supply something or to be responsible for repairs, or to even recommend where to do the repairs - meh. At least in Thailand, never had to try it anywhere else with them.

Dear Bob, as you are well aware, I do not shy away from historical debate, and I can usually hold my own with ease. That said, the scope of the topic is not all encompassing, and this was communicated by the powers-that-be numerous times by now.

It's my comment on those employing faux outrage, online drama and emo stuff.

Netanyahu's 2008 election campaign slogan was 'dismantle Hamas rule'. I think we know how that went and what he actually did. What those ministers' statements indicate is more to do with Netanyahu's (relative) loss of political control. Members of coalition partners realizing he won't dare to fire them, and his own party members starting to hedge for the day after. Most of the fiery talk is intended for his loyalist voter base. Got to keep that 'Mr. Security', 'Protector of Israel' image alive.

Oh, look who's here.

You've posted your share of such.

There are pictures of medical supplies being offloaded at the hospital by the IDF. The attitude of by some doctors of refusing to receive medical supplies etc. (in the link provided) is sickening. Their priority ought to be saving lives, not playing games.

I gave up investing in luggage brands a while back. Wheels still break off, zippers come undone. Maybe it's a factory thing, dunno. Tried the so-called guarantee thing on two items, was a hassle getting a response even, seller as usual 'not responsible'. I just buy the fake or no name ones that look alright. Not the same quality, but then it's no big deal buying a new one as needed. There's one that outlasts all the others, plus it's purple, so easy to spot among the rest.

You can keep trying to twist words about, no problem. There were enough management clarifications on the scope of this topic, it is you that choose to ignore them. I have engaged many posters over the years regarding the history of the conflict, so it's not a question of unwillingness to do so, or being unable to make my points. A time and a place and all that.

From the linked report:

Problem with you, and many other posters is that you see things in black and white. I'm not talking about the Hamas attack, though - that was as black as it gets. But with regard to the history of the conflict, there's a tendency of 'supporters' to do wholesale blaming on the 'other side'. History is usually more complex than what political narratives allow for. Disregarding that, this topic is, indeed, focused about events set in motion on the 7/10. It is impossible to discuss current events while constantly going back to historical points of detail, all the more so when these are dished as described above.

And yet, you keep posting your opinion of other posters on many posts....guess that's not off topic for you, somehow.

I have already addressed your extreme views.

Your opinion doesn't count as 'debunking' anything.

@billd766 Apart from standard intelligence coverage the USA routinely have on Israel, there are now a whole lot more Naval assets in place, which would include intelligence platforms. The USA also runs drone sorties over the Gaza Strip. Add to that the UK base in Cyprus, with it's rather impressive coverage, and countries sharing intel.

@billd766 You claim you do not believe this side or the other, but keep posting Palestinian and Hamas talking points.

This was discussed on numerous posts by now. Plenty of articles, reports and so on. If you're shooting for some conspiracy theory nonsense - good luck with that.

More hyperbole. If Israel was intent on killing civilians, the death toll would be much higher, and there wouldn't be any options for evacuation, humanitarian pauses etc.

@thaibeachlovers Not knowing doesn't seem to stop your from specific speculations, allegations and so on. It's only when you're confronted with facts that you retreat to the 'we don't know' bunker. You're digging yourself even deeper - if there are more bombs, but the casualty figures rise at about the same rate it just proves the point that things aren't what they claim them to be.
