I know what you think and want. Increasingly less people agree with you.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
Absolutely. But it is still notable that even in Israel, which is not exactly a Pro-Palestinian enclave, people are beginning to say enough is enough.

Israeli airstrikes on Rafah begin despite mounting ceasefire pressure Palestinians in Gaza thrown into confusion by Hamas’s acceptance of a deal, followed by Israel’s sceptical response and bomb attacks [...] Hamas officials were quoted as saying the plan they had accepted involved a ceasefire, reconstruction of Gaza, return of displaced people to their homes and a prisoner swap deal, and that the deal would involve three phases, each of 42 days. [...] A Saudi foreign ministry statement warned of the “dangers of the Israeli occupation forces targeting the city of Rafah as part of its systematic bloody campaign to storm all areas of the Gaza Strip and displace its residents towards the unknown”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/gaza-ceasefire-hangs-in-balance-as-israel-carries-out-night-airstrikes-on-rafah

There will not be a ceasefire as Netanyahu has been saying for months that he was going into Rafah no matter what. The only way to stop the Palestinian genocide is to cease international support to Israel.

The other kid says the English guy sends money but she goes out and squanders it, he doesn't know what on. Could be gambling debts.

Thailand's NVI Backs AstraZeneca Amid Controversy
Its coming out right now. My wife's GP told her just two days ago that she made the biggest mistake of her life by believing the vax narrative – she is triple-jabbed and was very much pro-"science" just two years ago. She is currently taking lots of supplements to try to compensate the drastic decline in her health. From NewsNation:

Thailand's NVI Backs AstraZeneca Amid Controversy
Fauci, March 2021. "The science" speaks. DR. FAUCI: Yeah. The vaccine hesitancy surrounding AZ, related to reports from the European group that there was a greater incidence of thromboembolic events associated with the vaccine: during this trial here, there was no indication at all. [...] And the European Medicines Agency — the EMA — indicated in their examination that they did not see an increased risk of these types of events. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/03/22/press-briefing-by-white-house-covid-19-response-team-and-public-health-officials-18/

That heatwave isn't normal
Apart from the fact that temperatures in Thailand are totally normal, Europe is currently in a cold spell. I recall listening to an "expert" once on the radio, who explained (in awkward, convoluted terms) that unusual cold spells were actually a normal consequence of global warming… As long as people take these clowns seriously, why should they stop? 24/04/2024: As Europe endures an unusual cold snap, many fruit farmers are concerned for their summer harvests. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/04/24/europes-fruit-farmers-worry-as-unseasonal-frosts-threaten-harvests

De Niro Speaks Truth To Power

De Niro Speaks Truth To Power
De Niro called for physical violence against Trump ("I wanna punch him in the face"), I don't recall Hannity or Carlson advocating for physical assault against anyone.

De Niro Speaks Truth To Power
Say the wrong thing, harm the wrong people and you will go from hero to zero in an instant. Look at Susan Sarandon or Roger Waters. I actually agree with De Niro on his view linking vaccines to autism (this is the comment I responded to). He was going to show a film about it at the Tribeca festival, but gave in to pressure to remove it. If he hadn't, he would have lost a lot of "friends" and contracts.

You're evading the topic because you can't back up your claim.
-
Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
I know the topic very well, from the late 19th century to the present day, and the notion that Israel offered a two-state solution in 2000, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2020 is new to me.

You need to be more specific than a list of years.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
Apologies, I misread your comment in my above response, I thought you said "it is not about the will". There was the will on the Palestinian side in the 90s, from the PLO, which was weakened and replaced by the radical Hamas. Who was pulling the strings?

Yes it is. From 2015:

Okay so 1993, Oslo Accords. Before they could be applied, Rabin was assassinated by an extremist whose ideas were aligned with the Likud and the Netanyahu faction then took over. Their leitmotiv is to never ever accept a two-state solution. Greater Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile. As Ben Gurion told his son in a letter in 1937, partition would be a first step to “possession of the land as a whole.”

In politics, anything can be done or undone if there is the will to do so.

"Israel has proposed two-state solutions any number of time." When? Please be specific.
-
Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
"What should Israel do…" To begin with, pubicly state that it agrees to a two-state solution, then act upon it.

Please explain who the "pro-Hamas crowd" are.
