  1. Being a dentist myself and even running at Dental Clinic in Pattaya for quite some time now, I can tell you that your clinic acted correctly. It would probably not have been a problem to get a quotation from them and even a confirmation about the scheduled appointments. But we do not have the permission to issue any kind of official certificate. Once a patient of mine insisted on me issuing that certificate trying to somehow make me feel guilty, by asking why I would refuse to help him, as helping people is the core of my job reminding me of my oath. I thanked him for farangsplaining my job to me and asked him to get some official printed form from the immigration which I would only have to fill in and sign plus any kind of written proof, that normal clinics in the private sector are allowed to do that. I'm still waiting for those documents. As far as I know he got his Visa by presenting a certificate from some Chef School for Thai food which makes much more sense as you have to attend classes practically 5 days a week for months while any kind of implant surgery even if bone grafts are included require just a few appointments with long time periods between them. Presenting documents from a clinic which has no legal permission to issue them might get you into trouble and the clinic as well. You should not feel disappointed about your dentist, you should thank him. Cheers
  2. Your comparison proves how delusional you are. Are you seriously comparing the peace between the French and the British in Canada to the situation in Palestine? That was the peace between 2 land thieves who had stolen the land from the indigenous people there, killing them by the millions. That is not comparable to Israel, where Jewish people with ancestors mostly from the Ukraine and Poland found an Jewish ethno state in the middle of an area, where a majority of Muslims and minorities of Christians and Jews had been living side by side peacefully for centuries. The UN had decided for a 2 state solution and then the Jewish people took way more land than they were supposed to, created Israel and since then did everything to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, by occupying, suppressing and killing them. From day one they had the plan of a greater Israel. The hate you mentioned is not taught, it is created by day-to-day experiences with the IDF. How would you feel in such a situation, when your everyday life is controlled by foreign people, who can do to you and your family whatever they want without any consequences. When there are streets or places in the land your ancestors had been living for centuries where you are not allowed to go or drive on while the intruders can travel freely and when they build a wall through your territory. Would you love the occupiers? I doubt it.
  3. I know, LANCET says it was more likely 100.000. What is your number?
  4. Thank you so much for proving my last comment. For God's sake, do you really believe that the destruction of Gaza, the murdering of 60,000 or more, the maiming of the same number of people just did not happen? That all of it is just the sick fantasy of some Hamas terrorist who somehow faked 100,000 of reports, pictures, videos and many other proofs and made the rest of the world believe it but in truth it never happened. If that only was true. It would give me back my trust in humanity and in our leadership.
  5. I always agree with you but not in this case. It's literally frightens me to the Core that there are people around maybe even living next to me who are capable of dehumanizing others because of their religion, their origin or the color of their skin not experiencing the slightest emotion of compassion even when the Children of those people are used for target practice. And as if that is not enough they call YOU a terrorist supporter only for criticizing those atrocities.
  6. Once again I have to say, the state of denial some members are in is really frightening. They act as if the ongoing Massacre of the people in Gaza is just not happening.
  7. Did it ever cross your mind that the reason they are all coming to Europe is because the West, most of all the US and Israel are f****** up the Middle East destroying people's lives and homes or supporting their proxy Wars in the first place? Why would they require Israel's assistance to get the refugees out? Because Israel is good at kicking out people from their homes? Why should Israel assist Europe to get the refugees out as they are probably happy to have gotten rid of them. Same as Europe was happy to get rid of the jews and solve the Jewish question by sending them to the Middle East some decades ago.
  8. Call me whatever you want. I could not care less because you clearly lack the qualifications for such a diagnosis. You just called the Middle East Barbarian completely ignoring that they had science, literature, art, universities and so much more at a time when your ancestors barely came down from the trees. And like all people who can only think in black or white you don't know the difference between a person, who condemns atrocities no matter committed by whom and a terrorist supporter. For you it's more likely, they bad, we good, even if we do no good.
  9. Well the Middle East being all barbarians is your personal opinion but not exactly the answer to the question, who started the war. Just out of curiosity, have you ever been to the Middle East? Have you ever lived there? I mean stating that all the people of such a huge area are all barbarians should at least be based on personal experience in several places over there.
  10. Don't ask me. How would I know what's going on in the sick brain of some mentally challenged and morally bankrupt IDF Soldier.
  11. Wasn't you paying attention to what I wrote or did you intentionally cut out half of it. I wrote in school, that means I was a pupil less than 18 years old. And at that time I thought atrocities like mass murder would not happen again and I also wrote that I was wrong. Yes those things you mentioned happened, some are still happening but all of them have one thing in common: We are against it. Our governments are against it. And we condemn it. But when it comes to the mass murder and the atrocities committed by Israel we remain silent. Or even support it like you do. So thank you for your list. Despite being textbook whataboutism it perfectly exposes our double standards.
  12. Okay, calm down, I got it, no children and no Nazis. So what are we allowed to talk about? Is starvation okay, what about shooting on starving people, what about raping detainees in prisons, what about destroying people's homes, what about stealing people's lands in the West Bank and killing them if they refuse to go? Seriously you remind me of the guy in that joke: He's driving down a highway completely stressed out and sweating like a pig. Suddenly there is a announcement on the radio: Attention please, if you are driving down the highway from X to Y please be very cautious, there is a Ghost Driver coming your way. Please drive very carefully and only on the right side. Attention, there is a wrong way driver on the highway. And the guy in that car screams: ONE? Only one?? There are hundreds of them, hundreds, God damn it!!
  13. But it is also a little bit more complicated than stating Israel was attacked on October 7th and had to react on it. So it did not start the war. Because somehow it did, by being created as an ethno state on the land of other people, which were then killed or kicked out of their place where they had been living for centuries and those remaining being suppressed and their land occupied. And all that justified by the promise of some Sky Daddy
  14. I could give you 17,000 examples. But I can't. Because you told me not to talk about children to you.
  15. Forget about it. In order to debate a certain subject both sides must be sure they talk about the same thing. This is not the case with him when it comes to subjects like justice or war crimes. For normal people Justice can be defined as: Justice is the ethical idea that people are to be treated impartially, fairly, properly, and reasonably by the law and that laws are to ensure that no harm befalls another, and that, where harm is alleged, a remedial action is taken - both the accuser and the accused receive a morally right consequence merited by their actions. For him Justice is: if a Palestinian does something wrong he must be killed and the same goes for his family, his children, his friends, everybody living in the city and everybody somehow feeling that this is wrong. If a Palestinian is wronged, well s*** happens. If a Palestinian child is murdered, go talk to somebody else about it. The tragedy of his life is that he hates Nazis and does not realize he has become one. The only difference being he has replaced Jews by Palestinians, but the rest is textbook Nazi ideology.
  16. In school I learned about all the atrocities human beings have committed throughout history and I always thought, that this was behind us, that we have learned from it and that it is not possible to happen again, not during my lifetime. I was wrong. But what I could never imagine, was the silence of those countries, which describe themselves as based on democracy and human rights.
  17. And to achieve that EVERYTHING is justified? Even the killing of innocent women and children? Even the intentional targetting of children by snipers? Please answer to that.
  18. Where exactly do you see an attempt to rewrite history? I wrote about the massacre in Gaza since 21 months. As a non-native speaker I might be wrong but as far as I know this describes an incident which started 21 months ago and is happening since then. And the IDF committing mass murder in Gaza is happening since 21 months so I guess everybody knew, what I was talking about. This does not deny the incidence on October 7th which happened on a single day for a few hours. Speaking of denial. Please explain to me because I really cannot get my head around it, how can you again and again remind us of the massacre on October 7th but never write even a single word about the ongoing atrocities and onslaught committed in Gaza by the IDF? Is there no place in your heart for a mother whose child has been shot in the head by a sniper or for a father who went out to get some food for his family and when arriving back home has to realize that his whole family has been killed in his absence with not a single person left to share the food with? Nothing? Not a single slight emotion of compassion? Not a little bit of questioning the actions of those you are siding with, who, to mention one example, have turned Gaza into that place on Earth with the most child amputees per capita? Have you really dehumanized Palestinians so much, that more than 60,000 of them killed does not bother you more than some cockroaches killed by an exterminator? How do you live with yourself?
  19. We westerners are a very interesting species. Why is there such an outrage about a possible double standard in Thai public transport resulting in a 60,- Thb (less than 2 €) higher price for us while at the same time we are not interested or agree or even applaud our leaders when they apply such an obvious double standard when they sanction one powerful country which is attacking a weaker one to prevent it from joining NATO while at the same time we support and supply (with weapons) another powerful country which is commiting mass murder, even going so far to intentionally target women and children, murder journalists and medics and shoot starving people who were hoping to get some food? That might be one (of many) reasons why Thai authorities don't give a rats ass about some complaining foreigners.
  20. The only "positive" outcome, if one can call it like that, of the Gaza massacre since 21 months is that finally the whole world has seen the ugly truth. Before that, the atrocities committed by the IDF were finished after a few days, the leaders of the Western world plus the western media would have joined in the sermon "Israel has the right to defend itself. Israel is fighting for its bare survival." before someone could say something and then business as usual. This time it is different. It took to long. People started asking questions. And the horrible truth and true character of Israel showed it`s ugly face. Not the Palestinians are the terrorists, but Israel itself, which was not founded by "the people without land came to the land with no people", but by kicking the native people out, stealing their land and creating an ethno state, which has widened it`s borders several times since then by more illegal land theft and backed by the western countries.
  21. They are so predictable. He is just preparing the next blame shifting. “It's all their fault. We are innocent. If they wouldn't have attacked on October 7, we wouldn't have to kill 10s of thousands of them and destroy the whole place in the following 21 months.” “Everything that happened in Gaza, every killed women, every starved baby, yes even every raped prisoner in our jails, that is all Hamas faults.” Next to come: “If they would have surrendered, we would not have annexed Gaza and built luxury property on it. We are not to blame. They made us do it.” Just preparing their next pathetic justification for their coming land theft.
  22. But keep in mind that those costs are not spend from some GDP but from the revenue of a country which is about 1/4 of the GDP in Israel so if you do the math with your 2%, the US is responsible for 8% of Israels income. I am not saying that the US is fully paying for the (mostly) free education and healthcare of Israel but thanks to the US and many other European countries Israel CAN afford it`s high class education and healthcare PLUS the weapons for the mass murder of civilians in the countries around it. The question you should ask yourself is why the US or any other country should pump Billions into a country which has the 13th highest GDP per capita in the world and much better healthcare and education than most of those donor countries ? I mean, if you decide to donate a fraction of your money to people in need, to whom would you wire that money? To the guy with the bigger car and house than you?
  23. Why are you constantly asking questions about justice when you have no idea what that is? You have been condemning the incident on October 7 again and again while you have never lost a single word to condemn the mass murder and maiming of the people in Gaza by Israel and the IDF. If you agree with me that every person no matter from which country or which race who has committed atrocities should be brought to justice which in this case definitely includes the IDF and the Israeli government, then we can talk about consequences for them. But if you are constantly fixated on that single day, October 7, while completely ignoring the following 21 months of atrocities committed by the IDF and even justify them then please don't bother me by asking questions about justice. That would be like discussing justice for black people with a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
  24. Sir, if you really have no idea what AIPAC is then I question your qualification to take part in this sub forum. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee was founded in 1954 and acts as an agent of the Israeli government with a "stranglehold" on the US Congress by spending significant amounts for the campaigns of those congressmen who vote for the political decisions favored by AIPAC, while at the same time spending huge amounts to defeat those, who would not allow AIPAC to dictate them their decisions. AIPAC, is de facto an agent for a foreign government controlling the US government. As a result, Israel gets Billions from the US and returns Millions back to AIPAC, which then supports pro-Israel candidates making them win their elections so that they can vote for more funds for Israel in Congress. Now if that is not a return of investment then I don't know what. The government of the most powerful country on our planet is controlled by a foreign entity which is antithetical to its highest values leading to the US sanction the ICC, an independent court based on international law and human rights to protect war criminals like Netanyahu and even invites him to Congress, where he gets standing ovations for lying through his teeth by saying things like in Rafa less than two dozen Palestinians were killed. Mass murderers and monsters like Assad, al Mahdi, Lobamba , al Bashir, al Ghaddafi and even Putin are pleased by their new and unexpected ally, the US, weakening the ICC. This goes so far that AIPAC even openly brags about their power on their website. Think about it: with US money Israel can afford free education and free healthcare for its citizens while US citizens can barely afford them. The land of the free? Free what? Free health care and education? Rather free from that, while paying for others to get it.
  25. Your brain is AI generated That AI with the family name PAC I hope you are at least well paid by them, because if not ..... oh dear
