and Israel has been killing unarmed Palestinians for years. If it's a crime when Palestinians do it, it's also a crime when Israelis do it.

If this causes Arab nations to rethink the "normalisation" of relations with Israel, that would be the only good thing to come out of this situation, IMO. I guess a lot will depend on what Israel does in Gaza after the attacks are ended. If they go all out destruction, even if western countries look the other way, Arab nations may find that their citizens don't want to be friends with Israel.

I never thought I'd ever agree with you, but this has to be a first!

LOL. Hamas fighters are attacking on multiple fronts, at least 25. I've been watching it on Al Jazeera. Some Israeli military installations are under attack. Tanks are captured and destroyed. Soldiers taken hostage. I've been saying for ages that Israel has sown the wind, and now it is reaping the whirlwind. IMO the only thing not known was when the assault would take place. For too long the Israelis have been attacking Palestinians with impunity, and the present situation has been just a matter of time. Of course the Americans and the EU are coming out in support of Israel, and overlooking that THEY have been excusing Israel's appalling treatment of Palestinians, so IMO blood is on their hands too. Seems that Hamas was able to avoid Israeli spies, as it has apparently been a stunning surprise to Israel. Those guys will fight to the death, as they have nothing to lose. Israel has left them with no other option but revenge attack. The response has been the usual attacks on civilian population in Gaza that has been under siege for many years, with cowardly air attacks on civilian infrastructure. One wonders if the West Bank Palestinians will also rebel and take revenge against settlers. Inevitably, this assault will fail, and the Gazans will pay a terrible price for it. Perhaps netanyahu is happy that now he will have an excuse to invade Gaza and take revenge while the western world washes it's hands and looks the other way. The interesting question is what the Arab nations say or do in response. Hopefully the Saudis will stop their move to normalise relations with Israel, but that may depend on how far Israel goes in revenge. Just watched Israeli tank crews been taken hostage, and tanks burning. Those soldiers should be afraid that Palestinians will do to them what Israelis have been doing to Palestinians for decades. Hamas has taken many Israelis hostage and is reportedly holding them in tunnels. They are demanding that all Palestinian prisoners in Israel should be released.

I just watched an interview on Al Jazeera that pointed out that New York has an actual law that says anyone that wants a bed gets one, so the thousands of illegals that get bussed to N Y can get a place to stay and, I assume, food. They have put up huge tents for unaccompanied men, and have many shelters, but the mayor is complaining that the cost is going to bankrupt the city. Perhaps he regrets that N Y is a "sanctuary city" now.

Most people on the planet are only alive because oil powered vehicles were used to grow food and transport it to them. That's not going to change any time soon.

Irrelevant to what he said. The Chicken Littles of the world can run around saying the planet is getting hotter as much as they like, but most will respond with a "so what?". Doesn't matter if it's true, doesn't matter what caused it; most will not do anything if it's going to cost them.

Happens all over. Not in Thailand, I had to take my car to a never used before garage for a warrant of fitness and they said I needed a new part on the suspension. I suspect they made that up to get a bit extra money from me, but had no choice if I wanted the warrant in a hurry ( it was overdue- my fault ). Of course there is no way I could prove it, and I didn't have the option of taking it to my usual garage.

Sadly, the Thais didn't understand why foreign tourists liked the unspoiled beaches, and soon as got popular covered them in concrete. Greed won.

While I accept we are all different, I'd have to be paid to hump either Anderson or Jolie, and that would include when they were still attractive.

You obviously don't live in New Zealand.

55555555555555 I paid 15,000 baht a month for a very nice hotel room with cable tv, hot water shower, cleaning, electric and wifi. It also included AC. Out of 60,000 a month, that would leave lots for eating well.

Again.

Oh dear, oh dear . Did you miss that Biden DIDN'T want to build it, but he HAD to?

Isn't the present bit being built in the place that Trump wanted to build it? Is nobody crossing there? I think Trump wanted a wall the entire length of the border, which would include places no one is crossing. The reason for that is if there are gaps, the illegals will go to the gaps to cross.

Walls alone never work unless backed up by people. The Chinese discovered that with the Great Wall. I believe the border patrol is lacking sufficient numbers to do the job properly. Even razor wire can do the job, as long as Federal border agents are not cutting it to allow the illegals through. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12573411/Shocking-moment-five-Border-Patrol-agents-CUT-razor-wire-Eagle-Pass-allow-migrants-enter-Texas-Governor-Abbott-installed-Rio-Grande.html Border Patrol agents have been videoed cutting through razor wire at the southern border and allowing migrants to enter the US Texas Governor Greg Abbott had the wire installed as a deterrent to those looking to make the crossing over the Rio Grande and into the state

Isn't the southern border Harris's responsibility? I definitely remember Biden putting her in charge of it same years ago. I am not surprised she failed to fix the problem, given she is IMO completely useless.

Oh, the irony is delicious. 5555555555555 Biden deserves every brickbat that comes at him over this. Had he allowed the already approved wall to be built 2 years ago the US might not have such a crisis as is happening now

Significant word is "allegedly". Unless proven it's just more lies dressed up as "news". There have been enough "alleged" wrong doings about Trump to put him away for several lifetimes if they were true, but always remained unproven. Seems Australia's leading news site has resorted to publishing unproven attacks. Sad.

I think you need to include your age at that time.

IMO some are so invested in the "my side is always right and the others side is always bad" that they are blind to reality. Q What's the difference between a riot and a peaceful demonstration? A which side is doing the rioting.

Bye.

As you didn't meet her when she was 12, I fail to see what relevance that has to the topic, which is Biden being creepy.

Your side often complains when the opposition goes off topic, so I am just returning the complaint. I never said I didn't like the post, and if every off topic was reported the mods wouldn't have enough time in the day to deal with them all. At my age either side of the bed is the wrong side.

The Chinese are a pragmatic race, so what comes out of their mouths does not mean they believe it. IMO they will say whatever they think will be of benefit to to themselves.
