I am glad that you mentioned anti Zionist and NOT anti Jewish or anti Israeli. Here is a link that you may find interesting or not. https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/are-all-jews-zionists/

Thank you for a prompt and kind reply.

I found it reasonably clear and can understand it. One good thing I found is that it has covered the basics and is not specific to any one person. Anybody can ask specific questions that Mike may or may not be able to answer. However there sib nearly 12 months before anything actually takes place and for specific answers that Mike is unable to answer, there is the revenue office in each province who should be able to give a sensible reply.

Thank you very much for all your efforts on behalf of us all. I have found the thread clear and concise. I have 3 pensions, 1 the state pension 2 a military pension 3 a company pension 1 They are all brought in as they are paid every month but I did not see anything about the tax rates on that. 2 In an earlier post I believe that you mentioned that military pensions were exempt from Thai tax. 3 I am 79, married and have a 19 year old son going through university in Chiang Rai. Can I claim an allowance for him? I send him an allowance for his living expenses every month. Can I claim that back also. Thank you.

It is filed alongside other WMD such as Marmite and Vegemite.

No it is not a war, it is a mass slaughter. And whilst Hamas started this part off, Israel and before them the Zionists have been at war for nearly 100 years and in the beginning back in the 1930s it was the Zionists who were the terrorists. Even before that some Jewish people attacked and destroyed a Palestinian village slaughtering 107 innocent men women and children. Read up on history, it won't change your mind, which is firmly fixed on Israel always being the good guys, but you may learn something.

How do you know that they are not innocent? If you see a dead Palestinian woman and a child, do you automatically assume that they were Hamas, even though there are no weapons around? Especially around an apartment block destroyed by Israeli bombs or shells.

ANY decent person can deny them that right. If Israel wants to destroy Hamas, let them, but don't slaughter innocent Palestinian women which is what Israel is doing every day, because NO country has the guts or the balls to stop them.

And which 2,000 year old Romans will you prosecute and punish first?

Of course it is, and so are you. I understood that it was a joke which is why my comment said, Of course It would have been better if it was genuine.

A great video. Of course It would have been better if it was genuine.

NO. Indiscriminately killing innocent Palestinian women and children is a war crime. Depriving a whole country of food, water, medicines and electricity is a crime against humanity.

I don't think that they are. IMHO I DO think that they are far more of a hindrance than a help though.

Yet you believe the reports from the IDF and the Israeli government are completely genuine and not propaganda.

Thank you for your view. It is good to see an unbiased post being published.

It would also end immediately, if Netanyahu were to stop the war against innocent Palestinian women and children, and give himself up to the ICC in the Hague.

Thank you for those useful and very interesting links. Thank you also for not being biased in any way in your post.

But it is far too late for the 2x,xxx Palestinian women and children who have already died and the thousands more who will die in the future. Talks and sanctions are fine but they will do very little against an army. Real honest to goodness action is now required.

Can you explain how and why they failed?

Probably much the same as they have so far. Whine, moan and discuss a lot, but actually DO nothing. They will send envoys everywhere , but under Netanyahu, Israel is becoming a rogue state. The US could make a start by stopping all aid to Israel. They could also accompany every UN aid convoy with armed military, and make sure that Israel and HAMAS equally understand that they are NOT to interfere with the convoys in any way, by clearly stating that to do so would be an act of war against the USA and the UN. It probably won't happen, but it will send a message that Netanyahu will understand.

I can quite happily accept your point of view. But what punishment, in your view, should be given to a person who wraps another in a blanket and buries them alive to die?

Read the constitution of Thailand. I didn't write it, and if you have a problem with it then I suggest that you get the law changed. Far better people than you have tried and failed, but go ahead and give it your best shot.

Do you have any figure to back that up? These two are from the USA. https://www.criminaljusticedegreehub.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-execute-a-death-row-inmate/ https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs Both links quote the same thing. It is simply a matter of costs as the convicted person generally has no money, therefore the state HAS to pay all his legal bills as well as their own.

Nice try but no cigar. I was talking about the 2005/06 Thaksin government but it applies to EVERY legally elected civilian government. AFAIK the MFP has never been in government. Granted they won the most seats at the last election, but they could not cobble together enough seats and votes to form a government, therefore the next party with the second highest number of seats was offered the opportunity, exactly according to the Thai laws. Exactly why neither of them compromised enough to join up I have no idea, but is a Thai problem. Not mine and not yours either.

Maybe you can't condone the death penalty, but many others can and are quite happy with their consciences. I am one of them.
