Some areas of Gaza are completely destroyed by bombing, and those bombs they are using are too big to have been used in selective destruction, so IMO they are not actually using targeted strikes and just destroying everything they can. The world is watching. The world will not forget or forgive.
-
Depends if there are any houses left to **** in after they stop dropping bombs. Even if there are, I suspect there won't be after the israelis leave Gaza.
-
Even the Al Jazeera front person remarked that it was unusual that biden had not called for restraint. IMO netanyahu will have received an unspoken message that they can go as far as they like without restraint. Just mentioned that 140 children have been killed by the israelis in Gaza.

Rand Paul: Withdraw Ukraine money if you want to avoid shutdown
thaibeachlovers replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How long were the Americans in Vietnam before abandoning it, and how long has Russia been in Ukraine? It's a bit early to be saying it's for nothing. -
Just seen on Al Jazeera. Israel bombs the border crossing to Egypt to stop Palestinians leaving. Seems netanyahu was just lying when he said Gazan's should leave, as they can't now even if they want to. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/bombardments-hit-area-gaza-sinai-border-crossing-gaza-officials-2023-10-10/ Pressure on Gaza border alarms Egypt as strikes close crossing Also, israel has been attacking ambulances https://www.anews.com.tr/middle-east/2023/10/10/israeli-warplanes-target-4-ambulances-in-gaza Israeli warplanes target 4 ambulances in Gaza Israel is creating millions of enemies that will be dedicated to killing israelis for generations. Hamas will have to turn away potential recruits as there will be so many

Without the american veto in the un, Israel would have been given the same treatment as apartheid South Africa suffered long ago. Israel only exists because of american support, IMO
-
You don't dispute what I said. Perhaps the israelis should understand that millions around the world hate israel enough to celebrate the death of any israeli, and that is because they see what israel has done to the Palestinians for decades. The world has been watching.
-
Seems to me ludicrous to claim this is a "war", given no Palestinian army was involved, no tanks, no artillery, no aircraft dropping bombs. It was just a few hundred lightly armed fighters that were able to surprise the enemy. However, I understand the propaganda need for it to be inflated to allow the call up of thousands of reservists and to mobilise the israeli army against a small local conflict. Seemed that they wanted to use the proverbial sledgehammer to crack a nut. Now the massed forces are apparently preparing to invade Gaza against an enemy of children and women armed with nothing.
-
Agree, but seems biden has just given them free reign to carry out the destruction of Gaza with his warmongering speech where he promises full support for israel and even hints of direct involvement. No calls for restraint at all. Biden has the blood of children on his hands too, IMO.
-
To my knowledge, all israelis have to serve in the military except the ultra religious, so if they celebrate violence against israelis it isn't per se against civilians. However I don't agree with killing children on either side.
-
I agree with everything you said except "restrictions on having their own air or sea ports" as to my knowledge they don't have an airport at all, and they are not allowed to use the port for trade with the outside world. Far as I know, even the limited amount of imports all have to go through the land entry.
-
West Bank Palestinians have no respect for the authority which sold out to israel long ago and IMO is an israeli puppet. I unfortunately caught the end of biden's speech, in which he only promises more death and destruction to Gaza- not a word about fixing the causes of the conflict- nothing about the long discredited Two state solution, sod all about hope for a better future. I suppose he is trying to look tough for the election campaign, but he only comes across as a warmonger. He needs a new scriptwriter. He even threatened to get americans directly involved. If ever proof was needed that america is not interested in peace in israel/ Palestine, that speech was it.

Pattaya’s watery woes: Torrential rains wreak flooding havoc
thaibeachlovers replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Those Pattaya authorities just don't seem capable of fixing that flooding problem. Could it be because the money to fix it ends up elsewhere? -
Don't know that I agree. I think it's about land that happens to be inconveniently occupied by people already, and the isaelis want it. Yes, the us should stay out of it, but they won't.
-
After this america will never be able to pretend it can mediate between israel and Palestinians.

The number will be rising all the time. The world is watching.
