If there is one thing the young thai birds like its a good body.

 

That and a Korean complexion.

 

I suppose 1 out of 2 aint bad!!

 

bob.

Trust me the good body won't help. I've been hitting the weights for a year now and If I walk down soi 6 within a stone's throw of any young Asian men I'm like a cockroach in the gutter. Then again, they know I'm not going to splash the cash.

Brilliantly said , A plus.

Have you ever thought about the real Kyle ! He too was a BLM supporter.

I wonder how he feels about the Marxist organization now!

 

Some thing tells me before the Kenosha,WI riots , he was as liberal as a snowflake.

Of course he was.

After Rittenhouse was released on bond, prosecutors said he was spotted at a Wisconsin bar flashing the “OK” sign — a gesture that has been co-opted by known white supremacist groups.

He was also seen consuming alcohol while being serenaded by a group of adult men who sang the Proud Boys’ anthem, according to prosecutors who filed a motion with the court to restrict him from doing such things.

Unbelievable. The Hamas terrorist org that massacred, raped, mutilated and took hostages sends it condolences to Russia.

 

Hamas roasted by social media users after terrorist group condemns ISIS for Russia massacre: ‘What a joke’

With twisted irony, Hamas leaders denounced Friday’s terror attack in Russia, extending condolences to the victims’ families, as well as Russian citizens and political leaders. “We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack that targeted civilians in Moscow, killing dozens of people and wounding them,” the Palestinian terror group said in a statement Saturday. Hamas, which remains in an ongoing war with Israel since its own brutal attack killed more than 1,200 people on Oct. 7, offered solace to the “leadership and the Russian people, and to the families of the victims of this criminal attack.”

Stop characterising every member of Hamas as a terrorist and you might gain some insight into why this is not "twisted irony". You are very aware of the divisive and inflammatory tactics employed by the NY Post in order to enhance its readership.

There is no excuse whatsoever for the barbaric terrorist attack on October 7. Period.

I never said there was. I said I comprehended (understood if you will) why they did it.

There is no excuse for the actions by Israel which ensued. Period.

Putin's tactic is transparent. 

He's spreading propaganda that Ukraine is responsible. 

After his sham election he has changed special military operation to war.

He needs to make Russians as bloodthirsty as possible to accept what he will be doing to his own people to continue his war of choice.

War is a tactic employed by leaders who wish to remain in power when their number is up if they don't. The Australian PM at the time of 9/11 was facing an election in which he had no chance of winning. He won. Putin knows this.

You are the renowned liar, you do it on most posts. You have dragged this thread down to level I've never witnessed before on these boards and how you are allowed to get away with your inflammatory posts is beggars belief. 

But with ref to your remarking that the Israelis deserved 7/10, I have it on file and will post tomorrow to remind you. 

Sleep well.

You'd better make sure my comment matches your terminology or I will report you and refer to this post. Think twice.

Just for context, about the Israeli population. According to this poll from last November, Netanyahu is unpopular, but there is strong support (almost 100%) for the IDF and its actions:

 

New opinion polls just released from Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University's Peace Index indicate that Israeli attitudes towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are more hawkish than at any point in recent memory.
[...]

Poll results were also hawkish when it came to the use of force in Gaza: 57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6% said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower, while just 1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower.

[...]

Nevertheless, despite the distrust in Netanyahu, trust in the IDF remains high. In Israeli Voice Index Polls conducted between Oct. 24-26, 49.5% of respondents said that they trusted the IDF more than Prime Minister Netanyahu, while just 7.3% said they trusted Netanyahu more than the IDF.

Every country stands behind it's military in time of war. During the Vietnam war I was vehemently against our participation but stood ready to do my duty if I got drafted.

edit: I came from a proud military family.

I am not talking hypothetical scenarios on a case of proportionality of say a residential building and how many would be classed as a war crime because there is no set number, read the rule! It is up to a court to decide on each individual situation, beside since you've admitted you double speak I've already refused any further debates with you. That now also goes for asking such questions that need lawyers, judges and evidence to decide.

Nor am I. 44 dead Israeli soldiers for 11,000 civilians (as at January) is not a hypothetical.

Meanwhile, are you going to step up to the plate and answer my question about proportionality or just continue to obfuscate?

Why did you say that the Israelis deserved 7/10. You are so disingenuous you are tearing yourself apart and why you are allowed to post like you do is beyond belief. 

Stop lying.

Just now, Bkk Brian said:

Thanks for the admission, zero debates from now on, please remember that in future when you ask me questions

You forgot to answer my question about proportionality in the killing of human shields. I knew you would not rise to the challenge.

It is irrational to consider that when I say "The Israelis" in the context of this war that I mean each Israeli individually or all of them collectively. That would make no sense. I never generalize. It's especially irrational when I have made it quite clear over and over again that I blame only Netanyahu and his government and other key figures in the administration of Israel. I think you do understand that I am not racist despite continually trying to imply that I am.

Just now, Bkk Brian said:

You double speak then, so every time you say the Israelis you actually mean the government......lol

 

End of, impossible to debate 

Yes I do. Please remember that in future

I know that, why are you telling me? Why did you say It is a war crime to kill human shields under any circumstances. when it is not true?

 

 

OK, it's illegal to kill human shields disproportionally. This brings me to another question which I know you will not directly answer in good faith. Do you believe that Israel's killing of human shields is proportionate and reasonable?

Just now, Bkk Brian said:

You continue to be dishonest

"The Israelis" logically means their government in this conflict. I have said many times I have no problem with individual Israelis, only the government. I don't believe I need to repeat that ad infinitum ad nauseum to stop you relying on pedantry.

Just now, Bkk Brian said:

Its not a case of agreeing to disagree, its a case of you making a false claim and not backing it up.

The issue of proportionality is key. Nobody in their right mind can argue that the proportionality here is reasonable.

2 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:

No you said: The Israelis are intent on retribution. That's a subhuman motivation.

The Israelis are led by Netanyahu. He speaks for Israelis and commands them. You continually try this line of pedantic argument on. Try a little nuance for a change.

Just now, Bkk Brian said:

It does not back your claim 

We'll have to agree to disagree. I believe it's on point and the quote I provided establishes that Israel's reliance on the accusation of human shields exceeds the bounds of reason.

3 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:

That is not a link to this claim stop the nonsense:

 

I gave you a hint to do some research on IHL (International Humanitarian Law) and it tells you the circumstances where it is legal to kill civilians in war. If you are going to make a claim at least have a link for it. I am not getting it for you.

The linked article discusses IHL and the issue of human shields.

Troll bait ignored  

It isn't a troll question. Do you acknowledge that the events preceding october 7th led up to the events on october 7th. You know the only rational answer is yes but that doesn't suit your narrative.

6 minutes ago, Jingthing said:

Yes but.

Something else will replace Hamas. 

Shocking percentages of younger Americans think the October 7 attack was justified meaning US support for Israel is on a downward trend.

Hamas will never be wiped out. Would you sign up to a militia if an invading force killed your family? What's happening now is that the overwhelming majority of able bodied men in Palestine are signing up defend their country. Israel seems content to kill every one of them. When there are no more able bodied men left to fight they might stop. That is genocide and that is what is happening today in Palestine.

Try to control your anger and stick to justifying your position. I note that a yes or no answer to my most recent question was too much for you.

Maybe not that stupid if you agree with the theory as I do that their entire plan was to bait Israel into a very aggressive response to win a global propaganda victory.

On the other hand Israel's objective has always been to make Gaza uninhabitable for Palestinians and the doctor in the SBS video I posted today confirms that is his opinion as well. I note you did not comment on that video.
