  1. You know very well. Look back a page or two.
  2. Leave it out. Nobody believes ANYTHING the IDF, Israeli government says anymore, nor units of its Ministry of Defense like COGAT, especially on social media sites, is this the best you can come up with?
  3. For the record, before I respond, do you support or oppose what Israel is doing?
  4. Erm no, it is because what Israel is currently doing, and supported by many Jews word wide.
  5. Thanks for the advice.
  6. Move aside Oxfam, step down United Nations, pack it up World Food Programme, because Ted G, a 76-year-old retired truck driver from Ohio, who once ate a hotdog at a truck stop in New Jersey, actually knows more about the food situation in Gaza than all of you combined. Why rely on hundreds of aid agencies, field workers, doctors, and journalists risking their lives to document starvation… when we have Ted, sitting in his bar in Pattaya, scrolling ASEAN Now, telling us there’s “plenty of food if people would just look harder”? Truly, a historic day in humanitarian reporting. Expect the UN to dissolve any moment now and appoint Ted as the new global authority on famine.
  7. So you’re claiming there’s no famine in Gaza? That’s not just ignorant, it’s obscene. The UN, the BBC, the World Food Programme, and over a hundred humanitarian organizations on the ground are all warning of catastrophic hunger and starvation – but somehow you think you know better from behind a keyboard. When malnourished children are being treated in hospitals, when families are boiling grass to eat, and when aid trucks are being blocked or bombed, to deny famine is to deny reality. It’s the same playbook used by people who downplayed genocides and humanitarian disasters in the past – shut their eyes, plug their ears, and pretend nothing is happening. Your denial doesn’t just make you wrong, it makes you complicit. To dismiss a famine in the face of overwhelming evidence is to dehumanize millions of people who are literally starving. History will remember who stood with the truth – and who chose to parrot propaganda while children wasted away.
  8. It’s long past time for Palestinians in Lebanon to be given full citizenship rights. Many families have lived in refugee camps for generations in extremely hard conditions, with limited access to jobs, property rights, and basic freedoms. They are not temporary visitors anymore – they are part of the fabric of Lebanese society. The handover of weapons by Palestinian groups is a historic step, and it should be met with reciprocal measures that promote dignity and integration. Disarming is a gesture of trust and commitment to stability, but that trust needs to be honored by Lebanon and the international community through meaningful reforms. Keeping people in camps indefinitely, with no clear path to citizenship or equal rights, only perpetuates marginalization and instability. If Lebanon truly wants peace and progress, then Palestinians must be treated as full citizens, with the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else.
  9. Zelenskyy needs another slap. Give Russia 20 % and get on with life.
  10. Thank you so much for posting these updates, as sad as they are, we must take notice and resist. Free Free Palestine!!
  11. Hello everyone, I’m 66 years old, female, and currently looking into getting a knee replacement operation in Bangkok. My doctor at home says it’s time, and I’ve been researching hospitals in Thailand that seem to have excellent reputations for this kind of surgery. I think I’m going to go for a somewhat expensive hospital but seemingly the best, Banrungrad. My main question is about visas – what type would I need if I want to come for the operation and possibly stay for a couple of months during recovery? Would a regular tourist visa be enough, or is there something like a medical visa available that would make things easier? If anyone has gone through this process, I’d love to hear your experience – how long you were able to stay, and what kind of visa worked best. Thanks for any advice you can give. Any recommended beach not far from Bangkok?
  12. Opinion, yes, by a staunch Israel supporter. To dismiss the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as “propaganda” is to ignore the reports of international NGOs, aid agencies, and even Israeli human rights groups like B’Tselem. Malnutrition and lack of medical care are documented. Starvation is the consequence of a total blockade imposed by Israel, which controls Gaza’s borders, airspace, and sea access. The piece claims Hamas “will never disarm” because no Palestinian state will ever be established but this is cyclical logic. Israel has for many years repeadetly undermined efforts toward statehood, expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank, fragmenting Palestinian territory, and rejecting international consensus on the two-state solution. Palestinians are denied self-determination not because of Hamas’s ideology, but because Israel refuses to relinquish control over land, resources, and borders. Israel presents itself as a democracy, but it maintains an apartheid system, as documented by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Israeli NGOs. Palestinians in the West Bank face checkpoints, land confiscation, settler violence, and military courts. Gaza’s population, half of whom are children, are trapped in what has been called the world’s largest open-air prison. The reality is that Israel holds the power, resources, and international backing. To say Hamas is the root of the conflict while ignoring Israel’s decades of occupation and oppression is to invert reality. Until Palestinians are granted equal rights, sovereignty, and dignity, peace will remain impossible. FREE FREE PALESTINE
  13. This reporter is only allowed to be there as he’s obeying the IDF in what he can report, and Fox is very pro Israel. Gotta distinguish between armed militants who commit violence and political members of Hamas who do not. Painting everyone with the same brush misrepresents innocent people. Globally, most do not classify all of Hamas as terrorists. Hamas has governed Gaza for years, and many still rely on its payroll - without it, how could they survive amid Israel’s repeated military actions and the resulting humanitarian crisis? Jews justify their collective punishment and Ethnic cleansing by saying that any affiliation with Hamas deserves death. This is not humane, it’s a war crime.
  14. Thank you.
