World court orders Israel to take action to address Gaza famine
simple1 replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
You stated UN Watch's brief which was not 100% accurate, which I pointed out. It's become boring constantly replying to, in effect, baised misinformation, so won't respond to you and others of the right of centre in this topic. -
World court orders Israel to take action to address Gaza famine

Interesting what NGO monitor posted and Albanese's admission of bias against Israel based upon certain factors. I concur she has made errors of judgement regards persons committing acts of terror. There again I Israel has carried our actions contrary to Human Rights; including non compliance to UN policy, e.g. Settler land grab, over many years - it's not a one way street. -

Incorrect. Website specifically refers to monitoring antisemitism and anti Israeli activities by non UN persons. https://unwatch.org/?s=israel -

I've looked at their website, not one article concerning Israel's human right abuses in West Bank, Gaza etc. i.e. totally biased. All the commentary regards Israel is woven around those who critic Israel. -

It becomes offensive when one is accused of supporting antisemitic/s in an attempt to crush debate. The appointee has an outstanding professional record and is within her rights to critique certain Israeli policies and actions. Below is a speech she gave at the National Press Club of Australia which will give further insight into her POV. Of course I expect you and others with the same worldview not to bother to educate yourselves. -

Many critics of Israeli policy are often critiqued, no surprise Sky News joined in. Her qualifications are outstanding, profile below: There has been international attention and controversy surrounding Albanese's appointment and tenure as Special Rapporteur. Critics of Albanese have accused her of antisemitism and anti-Israel bias. Human rights groups have said the accusations are illegitimate attempts to discredit her criticism of Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_Albanese -

I did not misinterpret "Get a grip simple1". Again stop your deliberate misinformation. -

What's wrong with you! Did I post I support Hamas - NO. I provided a link to a POV from Hamas and said read with a large spoonful of salt. Cease your misinformation. -

There is ongoing discussion as to Hamas reasoning for their Oct 7 acts of terrorism. One would assume there are multiple aspects to their decision to carry out the mass murders and so on of civilians. Other groups of terrorists were involved such as Islamic Jihad who have a terrible reputation. I guess one day the "experts' will reach a conclusion as to "justification". Below is an example of initial commentary from Hamas which one would take a very large spoonful of salt. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/21/hamas-says-october-7-attack-was-a-necessary-step-admits-to-some-faults -

Unfortunately it is you who is quoting conspiracists. In his book John Lyons has provided extensive quotes from interviews with very senior members of the Israeli government and IDF. Additionally in his book Lyons has provided extensive external reference links to back up his reporting. FYI Lyons has won three Walkley Awards for his reporting - the highest award for journalism in Australia. For the future I suggest you do unbiased research before commenting. -

Don't know why you posted the above. Nobody, so far as I know, on this forum has claimed justification for Hamas and others actions on Oct 7. -
IMO rather sad commentary. Personally I totally disagree with enabling Putin's aggression. Other NATO members are carrying on with their support of Ukraine as should USA. Withdrawing support of Ukraine by the USA equates to a return of US isolationism, a very negative and destructive worldview.

So far as I have observed member Neeranam has not expressed support for terrorism. IMO what the member is stating the event of Oct 7 did not occur in a vacuum. Many observers of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, including some of those living in Israel, have warned for a long time Israeli funded Settler land grab, occupation and harassment of Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Israeli actions in Gaza will lead to further bloodshed. In fact many are of the view currently there is no prospect of peace due to current Israeli leadership and poor leadership within the Palestinian community. I have just finished reading a book concerning daily harassment and other issues by Israelis of the Palestinian community, to be blunt it's no surprise what is currently occurring. Though some have denigrated the author, hasbara, IMO it's worth reading "Balcony Over Jerusalem by John Lyons. -

The congressional delay in approving a $60 billion military aid package has been costly for Ukraine, Zelensky said. The military has been unable to plan future operations while legislators squabbled for nearly six months. He warned that hard-pressed Ukrainian forces might have to retreat to secure their front lines and conserve ammunition. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/29/ignatius-zelensky-interview-ukraine-aid-russia/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_opinions&utm_campaign=wp_opinions

What Would You Have Israel Do to Defend Itself?

Unless the victor is willing not to comply with international law, e.g. Israel & Russia, your post is factually incorrect in reflecting current international law -

Yesterday announced US is shipping more 2000 and 500 pound bombs for us by IDF. Likely will be a significant increase in civilian deaths and injuries. The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter. The 2,000-pound bombs have been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/29/us-weapons-israel-gaza-war/ -
Judge recommends ex-Trump election lawyer John Eastman be disbarred
simple1 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Usual nonsense from trump world. Facts matter, not unsupported conspiracy motivated actions contrary to the Constitution...from the OP.... Central to the case against Eastman is his involvement in advocating for the disruption of the transfer of power following the 2020 election, despite lacking a valid legal basis for such actions. His proposal for then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn Biden's victory during the Electoral College certification was deemed lacking in legitimacy by the judge. Moreover, Eastman's lack of remorse and his role in perpetuating false claims about the election further contributed to the recommendation for disbarment. Judge Roland's comprehensive 128-page opinion meticulously dismantles problematic claims made by Eastman and underscores the severity of his ethical breaches. -

With over 700,000 "settlers", funded by the Israeli government with low cost housing in the West Bank and protected by the IDF, highly unlikely Israel will withdraw from the West Bank. However steps in the right direction would be to cease holding Palestinian children in jail without representation; ceasing the practice of indefinite detention, solitary confinement. and so on. Put a hold on or minimise travel by foreign Christian Zionists who add to the toxic political environment. -

Long overdue, should apply the same discipline to some others in MAGA world. As an example today there was an article showing currently over one billion dollars payable and increasing, for defamation in trump world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/27/trump-lake-defamation/ -
It's about 90 minute drive to Ban Phe, then get the ferry. Use to cost 200 baht entrance fee. Clean sea, relatively laid back. Spent Songkran there a few years back, going again this year. Might be a challenge to book room at this stage, but try Samet Villa Resort - best to phone them - my favourite place on the island.

Actually the British handed over the provinces as an incentive to keep the French out of Thailand.
