I expect Iran has designs to incite an escalation via further proxy to draw Israel in Iran considering their recent rhetoric

That’s real nice…people having fun and celebrating another culture with no frame of thought of the above accusation. Yet using racism to falsely accuse others of racism is a worse form of racism in of itself. A platitude of false empathy and self imposed false guilt. The zoo is a fun place for families to go and learn about other creatures from far away places and in this case, culture.

This is just a conflation of semantic word gaming. Get off it already, we all know where you stand…

The way that Israel has treated them, really? The way Israel is treating them is containment, containing an enemy that will accept nothing less than complete extermination of the Jewish people. If I was surrounded by hateful neighbors I’d do anything to maintain preservation. Pelt my house with rocks, I’ll drop a bolder on theirs, retaliate me with 9mm’s, I’ll pull out the Scar17-s and clean house. Israel, in my opinion has shown great restraint, now they’re fed up with the tit for tat routine and it’s time to drop the hammer for their own survival and civilization. Anyway, you and others here come off as rooting for the Hamas terror thugs…with antisemitism tones.

Imposed by what group? The Gaza situation is solely of Hamas doing, this is the prison camp of Hamas run by the current leader warden Ismail Haniyeh. Eliminate the hate towards Israel and eliminate the Iran Hezbollah Hamas element and the semantical word games, then there would be no need for such a security zone along the Gaza Strip.

Well because it would defeat the purpose of having an antagonist proxy

That’s exactly it

Hamas doesn’t care about Gaza citizens, their only intent is to kill as many Israelites as possible

No contact probably due to internet issues, lost phone or whatever…

Israel is surrounded by countries of pure hatred for their existence. Hamas is nothing more than a terrorist organization being pushed by Iran. Both Iran and Hamas need to be dealt with, and now they opened the opportunity to get their clock cleaned. I have not the slightest sympathy for Hamas, any sympathy for that sick terrorist thug gang must be a bleeding heart in severe delusion, throw hezbollah in the mix as well while at it.

+1 Well I love burning fossil fuel as to not being a hypocrite against something I use virtually all day and every day, more power to go, longer distances per fill up, quick and easy refueling as opposed to waiting for a silly battery to charge with electricity generated by fossil fuel…now how lame is that??????

Humans are no less predictable than any other species. Our history is dictating our future, to what extent is our choice of what we allow. Our biggest enemy is our own minds, “war of the mind” is what I call it…fear received and fear disseminated. I don’t believe we’re the only finite intelligent species in the universe, I’m sure this has been played out with many different outcomes, and it will continue long after we’re done here.

Sorry, I have no interest in giving instructions here.

We know North Korea got caught attempting to smuggle weapons to hamas. Since, we don’t know what success they have achieved doing so into Iran as well or what type of capability of the weapons that has yet to have been implemented.

Ultimately Palestine is being used as an antagonist proxy by Iran, ally of Russia, china and North Korea. Proxy wars between Russia and the United States been going on for decades. Whoever has the most influence and power controls and funds it’s proxies by known and unknown avenues. An incursion as this may have a propensity to unravel into Iran as an opportunity to knock out the nuke program and hamas support and even escalate further. Certainly hope this is resolved asap.

Really? What religions were Mao Zejong and Joseph Stalin? Oh right…Marxism. Two of the largest mass murders that ever existed.

A couple of weeks ago AIS was down in cm for a couple hours. Cellular service of some cellular providers is iffy in some rural areas. A lot of street vendors don’t use tills, they use pockets. If electricity is down for a long period then no power to charge cell phones. Electronic devices are fallible, my wife learned that when she couldn’t access internet for promptpay and had to bum me for cash, since she always carries cash. Cash is good to keep around.

Cash is probably best for a tourist, every vendor you’ll be doing transactions with will take your money, they want you to come here because they want your money. Be sure to carry small denomination cash, a lot of small street vendors don’t like breaking ฿1000 especially early in the morning.

no apologies necessary. It comes off as an ineptitude of a social dysfunction as noted on other threads as well.

Always carry cash, some situations it’s more convenient. Sometimes power is out and the shop is unable to do an electronic transaction. Immigration, cash only. Dead cellular zone or the cell system is down for maintenance.

Utterly witless statement. Not necessarily true, depending on the bank app. But one wouldn’t understand this being socially inept.

My wife uses black goo face mask beauty stuff. She has photos with it on her face on her social media, I said to her if she posted those photos on her social media in the US she’d be demonized and her accounts would be shut down, honestly she can’t comprehend such nonsense.

No one that looked like that would be allowed in cadet school, though it would have been entertaining to see it????

For now I’m keeping my house in the US, unattended and it will remain unattended until I sell it.. Water main off. All electrical appliances off. Keep two lights on. No mold. Friends and neighbors keep an eye on things.

These hysterical reports are boring. The 1930’s were the hottest on record though they conveniently forget the dust bowl era. Worse hurricanes out of the Atlantic in the 1930’s, even though the pacific produces more hurricanes and in recent years are more infrequent. The convenience partial information is astounding, though expected????
