I am sorry that I missed your post, my apologies. If that is what you believe, fair enough. I look at the numbers of killed and wounded on each side and I find that far more Palestinian men women and children have been killed than Israeli's, coming up to 100 to 1, Palestinians v Israeli's. A vastly disproportional ratio, especially given that about 60% or more were unarmed women an children. That is of course discounting those Palestinian men, women and children still buried in the rubble of their houses and apartment blocks. Then of course who knows how many people will die of starvation, dehydration (no water), no medicines, no hospital care, no electricity etc. But it will be reasonably certain that none of those will be Israeli.

I'll never forget wossername.

But you did not answer my post. If Israel is allowed to attack other countries consulates, then it must equally be OK for other countries to attack, murder people and destroy Israeli consulates and embassies and murder the people in them.

Thank you for the quote. https://www.econlib.org/show-me-the-man-and-ill-find-you-the-crime/ It actually came from Lavrentiy Beria who was Joseph Stalin's secret police chief, and is the paradigmatic example of what the rule of law is not. And if there was no crime, then Beria would find anything and make it fit.

Thank you for your response. I spent about 20 minutes this evening unrolling and straightening out a 50 metre roll of hose pipe. Part of the time I was in my workshop with a commercial size fan running flat out just blowing warm air around. It was around 35C in the shade and I stopped a couple of times for a break. I am 79 and it buggered me. I came back inside and sat with2 fans blowing on me, and it was only 33C. I also drank about half a litre of coldish water before I really cooled down. If Thaksin was out in the sun, for 20 minutes (no hat that I could see) he must have been broiled. I know I couldn't do it now.

So it would be OK if Iran did the same thing, specifically targeting the Israeli government and military leaders?

OTOH in the BBC news this morning there was this report https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68830552 In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a group of Israeli settlers storm a Palestinian village and, captured on CCTV, a masked man sets fire to a car parked in a garage, under the watch of at least three Israeli soldiers. The incident was part of a rampage by Israeli settlers that, according to local officials, killed four Palestinians over four days. Sameh Abu Alia, his cousin, said Jihad, who would get married in June, was trying to prevent the settlers from storming the family's house. "It wasn't the first time settlers attacked us. But we weren't expecting a huge number of them," he said. "They shot at the water tanks, the electricity network, and the internet. They were planning to isolate us from the outside world." Settlers, armed with guns and stones, returned to the village on Saturday. Shaul Golan, a photographer for the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, said he was attacked by a group of between 20 to 30 people, some of whom were armed and wearing IDF uniforms, as he hid under a table in one of the burned houses while trying to cover the rampage. "They beat me mercilessly, breaking my finger and taking my bag to burn all of the photography equipment inside," he said in an interview published on the newspaper's website.

IMHO he will have a lot of people who want to be his friends, and he will probably find a lot of new family contacting him as well. If it were me my answer would be, "What ever you want, the answer's NO".

Ask all the businesses down in Khao San road and in all the other tourist areas rghar the government sanctioned if they closed down. Probably half the shops out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet were closed and the other half were open. All of the 7/11 shops were open as normal and probably all the beer shops too. The Monday market in the village was open as normal.

According to USA Today the share price yesterday 16 April https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/16/trump-truth-social-stock-price/73341300007/ At close on April 16, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp share price fell to $22.84, down 14.17% today.

IMHO as long as Netanyahu is in power along with his murderous war cabinet, there is a very good chance that within a year, he will certainly threaten Iran with nuclear Armageddon and perhaps he will make good that threat. At 74, why should he care how many people in Iran will die, or for that matter how many people in Israel and the rest of the world will die? The problem that he may have is whether the IDF will even load and arm the weapons, let alone drop them. He may have the generals in his pocket, but from what I have read recently, he is losing the support of his people. What sane person will vote for their own, and all their families deaths, to satisfy the ego of one old man full of hatred and bile? I really hope that there are enough Israeli's willing to stand up and say that enough is enough, and to kick him and all his war cabinet out of power for ever. Then perhaps the real peace talks can begin. At this point only the POTUS has the ability and the power to stop him. As for me and my Thai family, I will stay here in Thailand.

Sensible countries would put in diesel generators as a back up.

Good luck for him. Sure have a party for your friends and neighbours, but keep the rest of your money for yourself and close family only.

Then why don't the money grubbing shops buy and supply their own trash bins, and pay a decent rate for the trash clearance?

And how long was he standing 40C heat? 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes. 1 hour, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours? Was he in the sun all the time or in the shade? Was he far away from a cool room perhaps with a/c, was he far away from a cool drink? For periods exceeding 10 or 15 minutes at the very most, I totally agree with you.

Because I, like many other posters, live nowhere near Hua Hin and are unlikely to ever visit there. It seems that the police know who he is, have arrested him and he is in custody. The chances of anybody here actually meeting him are around 99% of never. Knowing his name makes no difference at all. He probably did not even know the name of the Belgian guy that he attacked from what I can glean from the reports that I have read.

Then why are they not against Israel and the IDF who commit terrorism every day. From what I read on the BBC and other news sites the government is supporting Israel but hundreds of thousands of voters disagree with the government. I am one of them and I also have a vote. It will NOT go to the Tories or Labour or even the Lib Dems if anybody remembers them. If I am lucky there will be a candidate from the Monster Raving Loony Party standing who will get my vote. They can never win, but they can't be any worse than the Tories or Labour or even the Lib Dems.

What hospital did you qualify as a doctor. What a brilliant diagnosis, when you have never met the patient, examined him or read all his medical history, Yet you know he faked it. I wonder how you came to that conclusion?

It is good to see that with 6 months of hospital and medical treatment by good doctors does work. As usual many posters seem to assume a complete recovery can be done in no time at all. Depending on the severity of his illness it does take time and effort to recover. If he had low blood pressure all it takes is to stand up too quickly and you will black out and collapse with NO warning, and you need to be in hospital very quickly. High blood pressure is talked about here. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hypertension i was on BP medicines for more than 20 years before a good Thai State Hospital got me off them. Last year I blacked out twice with lower blood pressure. The first time I blacked out I lost around 4 hours that I simply know nothing about until I woke up in hospital 65 km away without any idea where I was, how I got there or even if my wife knew where I was and what happened to me. The second time 5 months later, I remember that I was sitting in my chair watching a YouTube video when I woke up to find my wife beating ne to wake up and stay awake. The emergency ambulance crew took me to the local hospital, who couldn't do anything and they shipped me off to the provincial hospital. Both times I had NO warning, and both times I was confined to bed for a week. Meds and gentle exercise brought me back but it takes a long time to recover, but you never recover fully'

Why would you need to know his name?

Neither do you, unless you personally know both the victim and the alleged assailant.

More BS.

Would you have to have your mobile GPS locater on your mobile switched on? I just looked at my mobile and found it switched on, so I turned it off.

Why will it eventually be a problem for everyone?

And what reality have you got to offer? More unnecessary deaths to feed one man's ego? More unnecessary bloodshed. More destruction?
