Are you part of my family? Please don't tell me how, when or what I can post. You can respond as many times as you wish, but I can't be bothered to answer your posts anymore. You are not worth wasting my time on.

I tried making apple turnovers today but after fighting the home made flaky pastry for nearly 3 hours I gave up and dumped it in the bin. The shredded apple I carefully put in the only plastic bag with a hole in it. I quickly put that bag in another and chucked it in the freezer. I think that the kitchen god was not happy today. I will get hold of some frozen puff and/or flaky pastry from Makro next time I am up there.

I don't water the land (15 rai) any more. I figure that nature is a lot smarter than me and made preparations decades ago. I do have a big water flower bowl which I keep filled for the dogs, cat, birds etc.

Have you reported all these Jew hating posts (including mine) to the moderators to see if they are correct or not? And if the moderators agree they are OK posts, will you accept their decision?

I gave a +1 to a post. I have given +1 to many posts. What is your problem with this particular post? If, having read my post, you still do not understand, then YOU are part of the problem

Actually WE, the plural don't all KNOW that. what we have is your biased word and that of other biased posters. So far, very few people away from agree with your point of view, but nobody KNOWS the real casualty figures as many innocent men, women and children are still buried in the rubble and the IDF will not allow rescue workers in to search the wreckage. Nor will the IDF allow independent news reporters access to those areas either. AFAICS either the IDF is telling the truth and Hamas is telling lies, OR the IDF is telling lies and Hamas is telling the truth, OR they are both telling the truth (as they see it) but spinning the story in their own favour, OR both are telling lies. Personally I prefer to believe none of the stories but if I had to I would choose option #3, they are both telling the truth (as they see it) but spinning the story in their own favour.

That was me, and perhaps you should do a little research before spreading lies about me. I am NOT a Jew hater NOR am I a terrorist supporter which another poster attributed to me. What I am, is a person who cannot understand why some people seem to support the mass slaughter, murder and genocide. By not opposing mass slaughter, murder and genocide, you seem to be one such person.

Well according to the BBC the IDF enquiry results are in and published. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68742572 The IDF's investigation concluded that the army unit involved had believed the vehicles they were tracking from the sky had been taken over by Hamas gunmen, and that they were not aware of the coordination procedures put in place between the military and World Central Kitchen for that evening. It also said they also did not know the cars belonged to the charity, and the three air strikes were in violation of the army's own procedures. The evidence from the investigation has been passed to the Military Advocate General - the Israeli army's top legal authority - to determine if there has been any criminal conduct. In addition, the army has sacked the major in charge of fire support. The brigade's chief of staff, a colonel, has also been sacked. The divisional commander, brigade commander and the general in charge of the IDF's Southern Command have been formally reprimanded. Every poster can make their own mind up how true this is. IF it is true, then it shows what a shambles the IDF with no information passing up or down the chain of command. IF it is not true then it simply shows what a shambles the IDF is. Worse than Fred Karno's army. Personally, I believe the second. For those who have no idea who Fred Karno was, look here. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fred+karno's+army+meaning&sca_esv=6702d8133b3a2eb3&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn09oniZ_XddAjwaKFYpP_p5zOcWfVg%3A1712474670933&source=hp&ei=LkoSZujnNoKQnesPztS20Aw&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZhJYPgaSF9v-U0N8WrE-7jzP6T-sht1t&oq=fred+Karno'&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IgtmcmVkIEthcm5vJyoCCAEyCBAuGNQCGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIIEC4YgAQY1AIyBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHkjEjQFQAFjCZ3AAeACQAQCYAXygAbwIqgEDOC4zuAEByAEA-AEBmAILoAK0CcICChAjGIAEGIoFGCfCAhEQLhiDARjHARixAxjRAxiABMICCxAuGIMBGLEDGIAEwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwHCAg4QLhiABBixAxjHARjRA8ICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIEECMYJ8ICCBAuGIAEGLEDwgILEC4YgAQYsQMYgwHCAgUQLhiABMICCxAuGIAEGMcBGNEDwgIHEAAYgAQYCsICCxAuGIAEGMcBGK8BmAMAkgcDMi45oAe_mwE&sclient=gws-wiz A type of chaotic organization, named for the comedian Fred Karno (1866–1941); his 'Army' was the company which gave a solid start or valuable experience to many comedians. 'We are Fred Karno's army, the ragtime infantry', perhaps referring to 'Kitchener's Army', was one of the trench songs of the First World War.

To be honest, did you expect anything different, especially the real independent truth from anywhere controlled by Israel or the IDF. The sad thing is that there are people, even here on ANN, that believe every word that comes from the Israeli government or the IDF is the pure unvarnished truth.

I did make my assessment. I chose Wise back in 2018 and I have never regretted it at all.

And the Bangkok Post had this story yesterday, with the government furiously back pedalling and saying that the water splashing is for 3 DAYS only, and NOT for the much vaunted 3 WEEKS of the festival.

Once again you pick out words but don't refute the text I wrote.

But the investigation of the IDF by the IDF has already begun. I could probably write the result now but you would only call it BS. As for investigations by an external party. That will never be allowed by either the Israeli government or the IDF. They NEED to be able to control what they call information, but many other people call propaganda, which they can ONLY do, IF they have complete control. That is one reason that they are trying to remove Al Jazeera reporters from Gaza. https://rsf.org/en/103-journalists-killed-150-days-gaza-tragedy-palestinian-journalism#:~:text=The figure of 103 journalists,this continuing tragedy's appalling toll. At least 103 journalists have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza in the past five months, according to the tally of one of the deadliest ever wars for the media compiled by Reporters Without Borders (RSF). At least 22 of these journalists were killed in the course of their work, RSF has so far established. The figure of 103 journalists killed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in five months of war in Gaza is a chilling one. Since 7 October, the day the war began, the names of the victims have been steadily added to this continuing tragedy’s appalling toll. Journalists working for TV, radio, print media and multimedia, photographers and camera operators, 91 men and 12 women journalists of all ages, all Palestinians, are among this war’s victims. They were killed in different places in Gaza, from the north to the south and including Khan Yunis, showing how no part of the Gaza Strip offers a refuge for journalists. At least 22 of these journalists were killed in the course of their work or because of their work, according to the information so far collected by RSF. Many of them were reporting in the field and were clearly identifiable as journalists. Others were killed by strikes that specifically targeted their homes. RSF has twice referred the crimes committed against journalists by Israel to the International Criminal Court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_journalists_in_the_Israel–Hamas_war#:~:text=Casualties,-See also%3A List&text=As of 5 March 2024,over 136 UNRWA aid workers. As of 5 March 2024, over 31,000 people (30,228 Palestinian[10] and 1,410 Israeli[18]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 94 journalists (89 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese) and over 136 UNRWA aid workers.[19][20] On 7 October 2023, 1,139 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 764 civilians, were killed, and 248 persons taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.[11][21][22] Since then, over 30,228 Palestinians (the majority of whom were women and children) in the Gaza Strip have been killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The total death toll in Gaza is presumed to be higher than reported,[23][24] with thousands remaining unaccounted for, including those trapped under rubble. Yet only two Israeli journalists have been killed

This Songkran is the same as all the other Songkran's. It is simply a way of making money, wasting billions of litres of water down the drain and bears no resemblance to the real Songkran. It appeals to stupid people, I know, I was one years ago in Bangkok and my early days in rural Thailand, and to children. I don't mind the children playing as it is fun for them.

More unbelievable IDF BS, but only to be expected. One question I have is WHY was the drone operator tracking those 3 clearly marked as WCF cars in the first place?

Is there something in the air or water in Phuket, that only affects certain farangs, irrespective of their nationality or age?

Just like most of your posts.

Who, BTW was threatening police with a hatchet and a knife. Did you deliberately and "conveniently" forget that part?

According to the OP the 2 sources came from Jane Prinsley and were published by "the JC" Having done an internet search for "the JC" or "JC", and getting no useful information, I then did a search for Jane Prinsley. I found her, and what a surprise, it seems as though she is a reporter for "the JC", which is actually "the Jewish Chronicle".

Well if it wasn't the IDF it must have been Hamas in IDF uniform. That is what some posters here may want us heretic, unbelieving, terrorist supporters to believe.

(Just another "regrettable incident') from the IDF I expect. I have no doubt that there will be an enquiry by the IDF, about the IDF, and nobody will be punished as usual. After all he was only a Palestinian, and nobody important. (Sarcasm mode off). The IDF who murdered him probably "thought" he was a Hamas terrorist or a Hamas supporter.

Up here in rural Kamphaeng Phet, in the 'big' village 6 km away, diesel is 30.45 baht and we are about 350 km from Bangkok. I only buy 95 gasoline for my weed whacker in 200 baht lots. I will look tomorrow if I remember, and if I go into the village.

Neither am I, at your so called response.

And that is your best response. Nothing about 7 murdered people? Nothing about how they were targeted by the IDF? Nothing about the drone operators "thought'? Nothing about "I call BS'? Nothing about the chain of command not being followed? Just about one word that I wrote that YOU don't agree with. It is lucky that you could not read my first draft, nor could anybody else, or I would have been banned from ANN for life.

You can call it what you like. but whatever you wish to call it, it is the truth. The WCK workers WERE targeted, even if the Israeli drone operator "thought" there was a Hamas terrorist in a car. A small convoy of 3 vehicles has given your military all the details and it has been approved at a far higher level than the drone operator. 1 They should NOT have been tracked in the first place. 2 They vehicles were clearly marked as WCF. 3 Just because the drone operator "thought" he saw a terrorist is NOT a reason to fire at an approved convoy. 4 At the very least. he should have called his supervisors, SNCO's and Officers to verify what was happening, and they in turn should have called in THEIR supervisors to verify what was happening, and if the 'thought' was genuine or not. 5 This was NOT a mistake, or an accident, or even to use the expression, a regrettable incident. It was a deliberately targeted murder of 7 innocent people. NO amount of words such as quote "I call BS" can excuse murder. Nor is the excuse "I was just following orders" valid either. The 7 people who were murdered in cold blood did NOT represent any threat to any Israeli forces anywhere.
