Yeah, I get that. I consider the vast majority of the anti Israeli posts here of the latter variety. It's kind of weird. What other country than Israel is constantly being demanded to defend that it even has a right to exist and defend itself? You get denials. Oh we only want equal rights for all (a one state solution guaranteeing the end of Israel) and/or right of return for the 14 million people who can claim some connection as Palestinians globally (also guaranteeing the end of Israel). It's sad if anyone is fooled by that. There there is the dark irony of the useful idiots for Hamas protest rallies. We charge you with genocide! (It's a hellish war but it's not genocide) while at same time chanting for genocide of Jews. River to the Sea (Israel gone) Intifada Revolution Resistance by any means necessary (support for October 7 atrocities)

Her "walking it back" was even more cringe than the original. Turns out she has a dark history of this kind of thing. I didn't know that, but now it's out there. Of course anyone being nominated is better than Trump, but if Haley is nominated (remote chance) I think she just blew any chance of actually winning.

I think you need to be more specific. There is criticizing Israel with good intentions and then there is DEMONIZING Israel. The latter are generally River to the Sea types, openly anti-Zionist, meaning they don't think Israel should have ever existed and as it does exist, favor anything that might lead to its demise.

What's their policy. Do you need to register first in a US branch or not? Online or by phone or what?

Zack the Russian is a charming young Russian dissident now studying in the US. He does political news and opinion. He originally fled to Georgia the country. The massively successful NFKRZ channel often covers Russian politics. The creator is exiled in Georgia. He did some entertaining videos about his trip to Thailand. He's paying a lot of money to lawyers trying to emigrate to western Europe.

Yeah I don't like paying 35 but as I only do one or two transfers a year overall not an issue.

That's not being a refugee.

Just another misunderstanding about the war in the Middle East. One of the Indians said -- Free Free Palestine. A Thai heard that and said -- No! You f-rang from another mother, no free for you. You pay now!

Word on the street is that one of the Thais said Indian curries smell funny.

Sounds as if you'd be very happy about that.

Putin would be very unhappy if she became president.

It's quite clear that the majority do want Israel abolished, the Jews gone, and for the Palestinians to do their River to the Sea dance for eternity. But Israel isn't going anywhere. Of course if they were to succeed, for the Jews to be gone from Israel that would mean genocide of Jews of those that refuse to flee.

Bingo. Thier population has boomed massively. Apparently, Jews are really quite crap at committing genocide.

Hard to know what she was thinking with that answer but she knows she does need to win the republican primary in her home Dixie state of South Carolina. Many of those voters call the civil war the war of Northern aggression.

I was being a bit flip. You may have noticed that the oppression fashionista River to the Sea crowd are now boycotting a head spinning number of companies for largely very questionable reasons.

An option that many use (including me) is State Department Federal Credit Union. You can join based on a small fee to a consumer organization although obviously their core audience is state department employees. With that account you can very easily do online SWIFT wires that do cost 35. You can open an account there from Thailand. Thai address and passport ID are OK. If you have a valid US driver's license they probably prefer that though. As they serve embassy staff internationally, they are about as expat friendly as it gets.

Boycott Guinness!

There are many Italian places. I've tried a number of them. I don't think I'll ever see pizza here again that pleases me as much as the closed place on Tappraya Pizza Art.

Haley is a more normal vile republican. Trump in power again means the end of American democracy.

Yeah remember the 1967 Arab–Israeli war? That didn't start in 1867. I do get the game the RIver to the Sea crew is playing. It's about October 7 denialism, a modern cousin of holocaust denial.

Lost the plot? That's old news, ha ha.

As usual, you're WRONG, but that was a convenient way for you to avoid the content of that. You don't post here in good faith and you've proven that yet again. The Hill - Bias and Credibility - Media Bias/Fact Check (mediabiasfactcheck.com) The authors are Israelis, you say? I don't know their nationalities or perhaps you saw a Jewish name on one and ran with it. Alma Gottlieb is a cultural anthropologist and who has published nine books about Africa, religion, child-rearing and anthropology, and professor emerita of anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Ron Duncan Hart is director of the Institute for Tolerance Studies, a cultural anthropologist, former dean of academic affairs and author of “Jews and the Arab World.”

That's not a rebuttal.

If you're talking about the CONFLICT rather than THIS WAR, that is another matter. At the heart of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, anthropology matters as much as history | The Hill Who is indigenous to Israel and Palestine: Jews or Arabs? The answer depends on how we interpret history. Radically diverse starting points invoked by both parties have led to the terrible conflict we are witnessing.

Geez Louise dude! Educating? Yes -- learn the definitions of CONFLICT and WAR. Not the same. Next ...
