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.

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.

"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.

Not at the cost of thousands of innocent lives, causing billions of dollars' worth of damage in the process.

And he quickly changed his tune when threatened with losing his status and money.

A protectionist and isolationist. Those who implement such policies are always very popular.

Indeed, Israel's monster Hamas has backfired into its face.

The good thing about fanatics is that they are easy to read. Netanyahu has reiterated that he is going into Rafah, deal or not, and Blinken has no choice but to publicly voice disapproval. I saw yesterday on the news that Saudi Arabia is apparently pushing for a deal without Israel in order to move towards a Palestinian state.

Colombia to sever ties after months of panning Israel as ‘genocidal’ Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday his country will cut diplomatic ties with Israel, describing the country’s leader as “genocidal” over the war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza. https://www.timesofisrael.com/colombia-to-sever-ties-after-months-of-panning-israel-as-genocidal/

Give 2,000 in cash and tell him to spend it on what he wants. Usually the best present for Thais. Edit: actually 1,000 is probably enough.

Indeed, and what the dichotomic media and their supporters don't mention is that there are Jews among the protesters. This is not about antisemitism but about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. From Turkish public broadcast service TRT World: “This has all been a distraction because they don’t want us talking about the non-stop massacre of Gaza” Jared Kannel, a Jewish student taking part in the Gaza encampment at Columbia University, tells TRT World that he feels “100% safe” on campus and that US officials are trying to evade Israel’s war crimes by exclusively focusing on “anti-Semitism” on college campuses.

It's not a conflict, it's a genocide.

You guys operate at a level beyond my reach, but I shall continue to watch everything you touch turn into gold with starry eyes.

So you two major figures of Pattaya had a falling out then?

Several sources are reporting that an international arrest warrant against Netanyahu could be imminent. Israel working to block feared ICC arrest warrants against PM, others over Gaza war Israel is making a concerted effort to head off feared plans by the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials, an Israeli government source told The Times of Israel on Sunday. [...] The official confirmed earlier reports from Hebrew-language media that the United States was part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the ICC from moving forward. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-working-to-block-feared-icc-arrest-warrants-against-pm-others-over-gaza-war/

Check that the rental contract specifies the owner will pay common area fees. The owner is meant to pay them, but some will sneakily add a clause saying it's the tenant's responsibility.

Yes, in fact the hottest April I have known was 2014… At the time there was no global warming propaganda…

I find gearless bikes more pleasant in a Thai urban environment. I enjoyed my PCX 160 for a couple of years and am looking forward to the 2024 Forza 350 I ordered last week.
