When asked if there will be a compromise for recreational use, Srettha answered “no,” adding that problems arising from drug use have been “widespread lately.” Some tourism operators have welcomed the move to curb its use, citing problems caused by loose industry regulation. Thanet Supornsahasrungsi, group executive director of Sunshine Hotels and Resorts in Pattaya, said most of the cannabis shops open are meant for recreational use and there have been reports of marijuana overdose. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/22/thailand-to-clamp-down-on-cannabis-use-in-major-u-turn-on-drug-policy

It did and they are tightening them again.

I was counting the pages until someone finally noticed. 8 pages! And still on page 12 there are guys posting seriously.

Reading the Times of Israel article you posted, it is indeed reasonable to expect that the hostage talks will fail again. And yes, we don't have a crystal ball, but it sure looks like Bibi is still determined to go into Rafah no matter what. Let's hope the civilians will be spared and evacuated as he promised. But in any case, where will they go? They would only accept another part of Gaza, and so would neighbouring countries.

Netanyahu now vows to evacuate the civilian population before going into Rafah. So far, to my knowledge, there are no details on how and where this evacuation will take place. Israel, US set for virtual discussion on IDF's invasion of Rafah today https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-794644

I moved from the place over 10 years ago for those reasons and never went back… I dare not imagine what it is like now. Cesspit comes to mind.

"Provisionally" accepted, right. They're going into Rafah with the firm intention of finishing what they started 75 years ago. You do seem rather obsessed with my views on the shape of the Earth.

Now wait for her to be called an antisemite.

"had they not then preparations for Rafah would be on hold because of the ceasefire" Which part of the following do you not understand? 17 February: PM: IDF will operate in Rafah even if there is a new hostage deal; can’t leave a quarter of Hamas intact He says everyone wants to reach another hostage deal. “I also want it,” he says, and it’ll be “very good” if this can be achieved. But he reiterates that a new hostage deal with Hamas “does not appear very close” given the terror group’s demands. Yet “even if we achieve it, we will go into Rafah,” he stresses. “There is no alternative to total victory. And there is no way to achieve total victory without destroying those battalions in Rafah, and we will do so.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/pm-stonewalls-when-asked-why-idf-didnt-enter-rafah-at-outset-of-ground-offensive/ 22 March: But Netanyahu said Israel was prepared to go into Rafah with or without U.S. backing. "I also said that we have no way to defeat Hamas without going into Rafah and eliminating the rest of the battalions there. And I told him that I hope we will do it with the support of the U.S., but if we have to — we will do it alone," Netanyahu said in a statement. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/22/1240143220/blinken-netanyahu-israel-visit-un-gaza-ceasefire

False, c.f. Bibi quote above.

As has been repeatedly reminded, Netanyahu is going into Rafah. Any talks of ceasefire are either disingenuous or naive. Live coverage from today, 29 March: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country's military has “conquered” the north of Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis and is “preparing to enter Rafah,” where more than 1 million people are sheltering in dire conditions. https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-03-29-24/index.html

The Israeli government's claim is duly noted. Now from independent NGO Refugees International, based in Washington DC, 7 March 2024: Siege and Starvation: How Israel Obstructs Aid to Gaza Despite its claims to be facilitating humanitarian aid, research and analysis by Refugees International shows that Israeli conduct has consistently and groundlessly impeded aid operations within Gaza, blocked legitimate relief operations, and resisted implementing measures that would genuinely enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. [...] Israeli policies and conduct are causing a man-made humanitarian crisis. Refugees International found routine and arbitrary denial of legitimate humanitarian goods from entering Gaza; a highly complicated Israeli inspection and approval process without clear or consistent instructions; frequent denials of humanitarian movements within Gaza; clear indications that Israel has failed to establish functional humanitarian deconfliction; and persistent attacks on Gaza’s humanitarian, health, food, power, and other critical infrastructure that have simultaneously debilitated the aid effort and escalated needs. https://www.refugeesinternational.org/reports-briefs/siege-and-starvation-how-israel-obstructs-aid-to-gaza/

I'm sure there are a couple of posters here who had a good chuckle at that.

I don't use language such as "the Jews". The implementation of France's immigration policies has been a multifactorial process, which was essentially kicked off by President Valérie Giscard d'Estaing, a Catholic. This is a complex issue and I will not go further as it would be deemed off topic and probably "conspiratorial".

Incorrect.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but I will not tell you what you want to hear.

I know exactly who is responsible and can't talk about it here.

I like truth and that includes every country and territory. If people research the names I gave, they will quickly see that there was a vast network and they will also see what countries were involved . I will not post links as it is off topic, the information I gave is enough for people to do their own research.

Persecution complex.

Double standard.

Historic recurrence.

The Israeli victims have names and faces which makes it easy to relate to them. Palestinian victims, however, have no such honor and are merely numbers (usually systematically downplayed as "inflated by Hamas").

The only one making it about race is you and I will not go any further.

I answered your question "Explain that one for me?" If I am a racist I am not a very efficient one considering my wife is Asian and I am Caucasian. I know a parasite when I see one and it has nothing to do with race.

I took my son to McDonald's outside King's Cross station and we couldn't use the toilets as there was a guy shooting heroin in there, shouting in a language I did not understand. Everywhere in the area were beggars, junkies and shifty characters, and that was at 1 pm. I dare not imagine what it is like at night. Yes, they are parasites and if the UK were governed by leaders who cared about their people, they would not be there. Now back on topic.
