I have apologised to @Nick Carter icp the content of whose post I altered.

The protesters had a permit issued by the authorities. These permits grant the right to peaceful protest and not breach of the peace. That's why the police attend the protests.

My apologies. Were the police officers trying to prevent Gideon Falter, the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) from simply being there? My opinion, despite the protest organizers having a permit, is that he has more right to be there than the protesters. If the presence of a single Jew is likely to create an incident, then surely the issue is not with the single Jewish person being present. Maybe there's an issue with the entity that issues these protest permits? There is the 'preventing a possible crime' aspect of the police officer's actions being open to misunderstanding, misinterpretation and manipulation. The media's good at that. For me, it's akin to American law enforcement's idea of "criminal activity" when they observe a single black person, the 'walking while black' as black people call it. But before this war broke out, I think the British police were more inclined to take action on the 'walking while BAME' rather than 'walking while Jewish'.

OK, I won't. What's your honest opinion on this event?

By wearing his kippah, he's not simply being 'openly Jewish', he obviously is Jewish and proud of it. Now, if you compare that with the majority of protesters, proudly sporting the keffiyeh that they bought online...

Dear Mr. My-glass-is-half-empty-all-the-time, I am deeply concerned with your perpetually groundless anxiety, so here's your starter for ten. https://www.reccessary.com/en/news/th-announcement/thailand-biggest-floating-solar-plant-inaugurated-prachinburi PS: Google really is your friend. Best, Bladdered in Bung Khan

Like Thailand was 30 years ago?? Correct. The dregs of humanity will always silt away to the lowest level. As for myself, I'm barely clinging on up here in Ban Dung.

...and chock-full of more dodgy lowlifes than the bottom-end of Sukhumvit.

I went 'on holiday' to Blackpool early last year, but it didn't seem to be full of British tourists. All I saw were Turkish barber shops..... You obviously went too early.

Crusoe. It's Robinson Crusoe. Caruso was an Italian operatic tenor. Alex Caruso is guard for the Chicago Bulls. David Caruso was a rubbish American actor.

Perhaps the greater number of Brits referred to in the article have absolutely no knowledge of or interest in Thai media as they're still bladdered from those buckets of Saeng Som on the beach last night.

Which of your rather weird DIY demographics do you fit into?

Since when has the Thai education system qualified as being a "sought-after" source of "high-quality" work?

The Japanese were toast and they knew it. They also knew that the Americans and their allies knew it. Why did Japan expand militarily to rapidly secure Burma? What precious natural resource that wasn't available at home or near neighbours were they trying to secure?

They're doing a pretty good job of taking out the Quds garbage with minimal collateral damage. I don't think it takes much (counter) intelligence to suss out what the mad mullahs are up.

It seems that according to my government (UK), they only supply 0.42% of weapons to Israel. That's correct. In fact Israel manufactures and exports more essential military-related assemblies, parts and components to the UK than vice versa. That's why the UK's, short-lived, mail-order keffiyeh-wearing "Stop Selling Weapons to Israel!!!" protesters looked (even more) stupid.

The Japanese refused to surrender and a ground invasion would have resulted in many casualties. Even one nuclear bomb didn't convince Japan to surrender , after the seond Nuke , Japan finally surrendered Correct, but there would have been no need to invade a militarily defeated, blockaded and totally isolated island nation. Maybe the humanity of only killing between 129,000 and 226,000 versus starving the greater part of 76,000,000 to death was a factor in their decision? But I doubt it.

Colossal hypothetical straw clutch there.

After all is said and done, are you over it now? The 'Troubles' I mean?

Do you honestly see any way that they will ever be "stuck in a corner to be overrun"?

Ah, the 'stolen land' trope. Since when has Israel stated they seek the 'eradication of Muslims'? Agreed that there's always been an influential group that wishes to expel them, but not to eradicate them. Are you using the correct verb? e·rad·i·cate /əˈradəˌkāt/ verb verb: eradicate; 3rd person present: eradicates; past tense: eradicated; past participle: eradicated; gerund or present participle: eradicating destroy completely; put an end to. "this disease has been eradicated from the world" Has Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian mullahs ever said that Israel has a right to exist? Have they ever suggested that anything less than the total extermination of the Jews is acceptable? ex·ter·mi·na·tion /ikˌstərməˈnāSH(ə)n,ekˌstərməˈnāSH(ə)n/ noun noun: extermination; plural noun: exterminations killing, especially of a whole group of people or animals. "the near extermination of the buffalo herds"

I did answer your post. You have a differing opinion and, in my opinion, a propensity to incorrectly and selectively define the ones who are committing 'murder'. Both Israel and Iran's proxies recognise this as a war. Military conflicts are historically chock-full of "acts of war", and the IDF are at war with Hamas. Hamas uses hospitals and ambulances and Palestinian civilians as camouflage. Since they are at war, the Palestinian civilian's killed as a result of their deceit are also being murdered. Who's murdering them? The IDF is NOT the correct answer.

They saved 'a lot' of American and Allied forces lives against an already defeated Japanese military. That's why the nuclear option is also known as 'overkill'.

Totally agree, but radical right-wing zealots are a threat in EVERY political theater where they get bandwidth, not just the ones in the Knesset. So, how do we stop them? Third-party mediation that's NOT overtly Judeo-Christian (America) or overtly Muslim (Qatar). Maybe the Chinese could do more? Banging on about Palestinian genocide is an alignment with Hamas, Assad and other proxies of Iranian extremism, and is NOT the way.

No, it would be better if they stopped their vile, theocracy-driven hatred of their neighbours. It would be better if they treated their own people with honesty and civility. The Persians are cultured and civilised, with a proud history that's being eroded and erased by the madness of their mullahs in their clamor to wrest the title of the protector of Islam from their Saudi neighbours.
