    There is an international movement that has experienced varying degrees of resonance called BDS. Google it. 

    res·o·nance
    ˈrezənəns/
    noun
    noun: resonance; plural noun: resonances
    • 1.
      the quality in a sound of being deep, full, and reverberating.
      "the resonance of his voice"
      • the ability to evoke or suggest images, memories, and emotions.
        "the concepts lose their emotional resonance"
    • 2.
      Physics
      the reinforcement or prolongation of sound by reflection from a surface or by the synchronous vibration of a neighboring object.
       
      okay....that explains it
  2. "The unending litany of negative assessments from overseas regarding rights violations and the suppression of democracy in Thailand leaves no doubt that the military-led government has failed abjectly in its efforts to explain or justify what’s happening here."

     

    This military has failed at EVERYTHING, they could not be more useless. People both in thailand and living elsewhere wouldn't piss on thailand if they were on fire. 

  3. no such thing as a fair trial in Thailand, accused has no rights, and is presumed guilty and the entire process is tilted against him/her. Throw in the obviously bungled police investigation, dodgy DNA, a whole bunch of lies and deceit. Those two boys never had a hope, and it's quite plain to see why.

    Hopefully the next step is taken to bring whatever justice is possible to this gong show mess.

     

    It's quite concerning when the facts of this capital case DO NOT support a conviction. This is nothing short of barbaric.

    I regularly go through Ben Gurion in Israel, which has to be one of the most security conscious places in the world.  As a non citizen and holding an Australian passport I am allowed to use the automated immigration system when leaving, generally about thirty seconds in total.  Sadly I have to queue to get in which can take half an hour.

     

    Imagine if Thailand used a similar system, then the spare people not required for departure could be utilised in arrivals.  Sorry just dreaming.  I am really looking forward to spending an hour in arrivals next week, not.

     

    Cheers

    well, i guess you should go to ben gurion, or whatever it is then.

    There is no telling what Trump might do - the man is totally unpredictable.

    Israel has itself created a terrible situation which it is incapable of solving. That is why it has always been the case that the United States must pretty much dictate a solution, but it is unable to do so, paralyzed as it is by the heavy influence of Israel and America's own apologists and lobbyists.

    So, in effect, the world just goes around and around on this terrible problem, never doing anything decisive. The macabre dance of Israel and the United States we've had for decades yields today's de facto reality of Israel as nothing more but nothing less than a protected American colony in the Middle East, one in which all kinds of international norms and laws are completely suspended, one where millions live with no rights and no citizenship. But, after all, colonies have never been places where the rule of law and human rights prevail.

    unpredictable is a good trait, keep the buffoons guessing, good strategy.
