Gee whiz. I wonder why Jews specifically have a problem with being called the same as Nazis. So difficult to imagine why that is.

The topic isn't Russia. Don't act so dense that you don't understand the SPECIFIC inflammatory nature of accusing Israel of being Nazi equivalent. There is no way that you don't understand that.

You're not fooling me. Accusing the one Jewish nation state in the world to be equivalent to Nazis is specifically designed to inflame Jews. That's why doing so fits the definition of antisemitism. You know that, but you persist. If you wanted a sincere discussion on issues around the conflict, you wouldn't do that. You clearly are not debating this in good faith. You're basically trolling. There is a lot of support in world Jewry for criticism of Israel. The majority of diaspora Jews are critical of the Israeli government being way too right wing, and sadly only a minority of Israel Jews but there are plenty in Israel as well. What percentage of Jews in the world would even want to have discussion with anyone like you pushing antisemitic Israel -- Nazi equivalency rhetoric? It's obvious to me. Well under one percent.

Total garbage! The most prominent feature of Nazism is the goal of exterminating every Jew (religious or not) on the planet. In Hitler's time the Jewish state didn't exist, but he had promised the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to exterminate all the Jews in the region of Palestine as well. Just stop it, dude. Say fascist instead. I definitely see fascism in Israeli government. I don't see a Nazi government in Israel. Even if the Arabs took over and killed all the Jews in the region, they wouldn't be Nazis. Nazi is very specific. If you're talking genocide, every genocide except one in the history of the world (Putin currently has genocidal intentions towards Ukraine) was not Nazi. The holocaust was by the Nazis. Is this too difficult for you to comprehend? I can't believe that you don't get that your Nazi game is massively inflammatory and yes antisemitic. It's not necessary to make all of your critical points. But you clearly love flaming too much.

I know you're not. You're obsessed with keeping the Nazi equivalency thing as the primary weapon in your Israel demonization arsenal.

You didn’t reply to my post. What you posted is a separate discussion.

Nobody has said legit criticism of Israel is antisemitic. Stop the lying. Equating Israel with Nazis is anti-semitic though. That's not legitimate.

Calling Israel a Nazi state isn't debate. It's a 100 percent antisemitic flame troll tactic. The funny thing is that I'm very critical of the Israeli government. But play the Nazi game and you've ruled out any sincere discussion.

Obsession

Folksies -- it's been said before but at this stage both don't panic and don't conclude this won't hit you. We all need to WAIT! It's as simple as that. This situation is in process. We've heard countries with anti double taxation treaties won't be effected by this, but alas we haven't seen anything close to final language yet! We know what makes you a tax resident in Thailand NOW, but we don't know if they'll change that. There is no logical reason to jump to any conclusions, positive or negative, at this time,

I'm interested in new curtains for my condo with a blackout part as well. I've noticed places are trying to sell automated ones these days, but that seems like asking for trouble when they inevitably break. So anyway I've tried before visiting random shops and wasn't confident in the communication situation or the products. Yes I want decent quality. Can anyone recommend a curtain shop that they've used where the communication was OK and you were satisfied with the quality and service? Tepprasit seems to be the district for this but any Pattaya area location considered.

Also withdrawals from retirement accounts (such as IRA) which in the US are classed as taxable income.

There's a fairly new clinic on Tappraya Road Jomtien complex area that advertised ear, nose, a d throat care. Anyone tried them for wax issues?

Foreign pension income is exempt in Colombia. If your total worldwide income is above a set level you are required to file there but then you deduct all of the pension income. That said Colombia is complicated and it's necessary to get expert advice to analyze your specific situation. Most retired expats indeed most Colombians owe no tax. But yes the very wealthy need to take extra care and may choose not to live there long enough to be a tax resident there.

US citizens etc. are subject to US taxation rules regardless of the country of our tax residency. https://www.konradlegal.com/2023/01/31/thailand-tax-guide-for-us-expats/

Oh behave.

If you're living in Thailand most of the time you're technically a tax resident in Thailand. You're conflating tax residency with US global taxation of US citizens. Being a tax resident of Thailand does not stop that. Only renouncing US citizenship stops that.

Yes it's genocide.

Not true.

What was an acceptable time line for WW2?

Such things happen.

An interesting history but overall the political ideology of Zionism made sense. There should be one majority Jewish nation state where Jews are not the minority compared to Christians or Muslims. The Spanish Inquisition wasn't carried out by Muslims. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_under_Muslim_rule

It does go back a ways.

It didn't help that's for sure. He got Hitler to promise to exterminate.all the Jews in the middle east. I have an impression most Israel demonizers don't wish to know that history. They also don't want to hear about the Jewish Nakba in the greater Arab world.

The Arab world attacked as soon as the UN charter had passed. Had they not Israel might still be relatively tiny. Its still tiny compared to most countries. The Arabs weren't wrong to think they could crush Israel but alas Israel prevailed against all odds. The Arabs starting out so hostile set the stage for what followed to this day Things could have been much different indeed peaceful. I'm not saying only blame the Arab world. I am saying don't only blame Israel. Developing as a hard core military power was their only option to survive in that region.
