Back to what rational people believe -- there is no permanent solution in sight. PERIOD.

My big decision moving here (long ago) was between Jomtien (greater Pattaya) and Chiang Mai. I had enough boots on the ground experience with both to make an informed decision. While I like the Chiang Mai a lot and the expats are more in general closer to "my kind of people" I have never regretted my decision. Pattaya even after the horrible Covid years which was a Black Swan international phenom, keeps getting better and better.

No but it's kind of silly to broadcast strong opinions based on nothing.

No rational person believes that it's possible to negotiate in good faith with "Kill all the Jews" Hamas. It's like you think they are like Canadians or something!

Let's not get carried away now. No place is paradise. I wouldn't love everything about any place, but Pattaya for me at this point in my life for my budget is: THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDZ (Note the Z).

So you admit you know NOTHING about the place. Brilliant!

Nothing would be good enough for the River to the Sea Israel demonizers short of Israel doing nothing and inviting Hamas to fullfill their charter (kill all the Jews).

Olly-gate. Solidarity with Hamas is a queer issue? No No No! The BBC has exposed the sinister face of woke (telegraph.co.uk) The choice of Olly Alexander as the UK's Eurovision contestant shows where the fashionable theory of intersectionality gets us

Yeah, save the word genocide for actual genocide. Genocide inflation. Yeah, there are reasons to criticize some of the Israeli tactics in this war against Hamas, but it is not genocide.

OK, this is getting to be a bigger, much more high profile issue. Eurovision. Or Gay Pop Music Disneyland as some consider it. There are calls to eject Israel from it because, oh yeah, defending itself for barbaric terrorists dedicated to killing all Jews. Olly Alexander is the queer choice from the UK. There are calls now from the pro Israel side for Olly to be ejected. Olly signed a hateful petition from the Israel demonizers. Personally, I have nothing againt Olly, he seems quite adorable and talented. I think he's another useful idiot for Hamas who knows nothing about the conflict. I would like to see Israel participate as usual, Olly to represent the UK, and nobody to boycott Eurovision. But Euros to croissants, that's not going to happen. The state is set for Eurovision to become another public venue for fighting over the conflict. Woke attacks on Israel are an insult to gay Palestinians (telegraph.co.uk)

Can we still stop it? Not so sure about that. I'm feeling this is what America wants for some perverted reasons. 'We can still stop it': Historian shows how to halt an 'autocratic takeover' of the U.S. - Raw Story

Who are you kidding? Hamas isn't going to release all the hostages. The UN doing one of their circle jerks.

So you're ignorant about the security council. Big surprise.

Of course.

Good point. The old play dumb gambit.

Not surprising coming from someone who has advocated for one state including full right of return for Arabs -- the sneaky way of supporting River to the sea genocide of Jews.

There is that Jew hating trope again suggesting an equivalence between the state of Israel and Nazis.

The Israel demonizers fail to understand that the Arab side doesn't share their values. They're living in a fantasy land. Israel has to live with the actual harsh reality of the culture of their neighbors.

The current Hebrew year is 5784. Anyway I don't know or care whether Jesus Christ was literally a real person or not but you gotta admit as far as what year it is, Christians won!

You don't like hearing what happened on October 7. I get it.

So Netanyahu did the rapes and baby mutilations, did he?

War against barbaric terrorists is not a garden party.

I knew no such thing. Now you post a vile conspiracy theory. No shame at all. Hatred fogs the mind.

Making excuses again for October 7. DISGUSTING.

Sounds like you hate Israel so much that you hope that will happen.
