  1. Don't drink beer, nor cry over political issues. As you appear to be firmly aligned in your admiration of trump, the psychopathic liar and con man a few issues to consider: The Loser: First President since the Depression to lose the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Presidency in a single term Multi billionaire who begs the less fortunate to pay his legal fees. Settles Out of Court to avoid formal legal convictions Never paid back his working class creditors when out of bankruptcy - even though a multi billionaire Insults veterans\ I assume you have copy and paste lies of denial from Trump in which you believe, so who's being conned, if not you and his other ill-informed followers.
  2. Well written article in the Austrakian media.... Influential scholar Hannah Arendt described the conditions in which dictators thrive: “In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.” Her words, written decades ago, could have been describing the United States today. The words that should haunt America and serve as a warning to Australians (msn.com)
  3. “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
  4. Since when has Orban been designated a "world leader" Orban is a corrupt and oppressive authoritarian. It's unfortunate EU law doesn't have the means to expel Hungary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_7_of_the_Treaty_on_European_Union#:~:text=While a state can be,make such a provision impractical. Trump agreeing to meet Orban is an insult to the freedom loving people of the US, the same applies to Republicans giving Orban recognition by visiting him.
  5. 'He belongs nowhere near power': Brutal editorial scorches 'civilly liable rapist' Trump 'He belongs nowhere near power': Brutal editorial scorches 'civilly liable rapist' Trump (msn.com)
  6. In my late teens /early twenties I took many, many trips which were all great...then I had a so called "bad trip"...it was not an innocent drug experience whatever that may mean. I never took acid again.
  7. In a topic referencing vilification of a minority, member does the exact same against an individual.
  8. By way of clarification UN Peacekeepers can utilise their weapons to protect their mandate. Personally I cannot think of a country which would agree to send the military to Gaza acceptable to all parties. https://peacekeeping.un.org/en/principles-of-peacekeeping#:~:text=3.-,Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence,and defence of the mandate.
  9. Why Arab countries are currently unwilling to take refugees from Gaza. https://apnews.com/article/palestinian-jordan-egypt-israel-refugee-502c06d004767d4b64848d878b66bd3d
  10. Do you believe the Israelis would permit armed members of Arab forces into Gaza? Posting "solutions" would be a complete waste of time. Critiquing Israeli actions is perhaps the only means available for members to express concern for the innocent Palestinians being killed and injured in their thousands.
  11. Can't be bothered. Know Hamas, as will Israel, ignore if not to their advantage.
  12. You're talking to a different matter to the issue raised in the article I posted.
  13. As Hamas is not a State what ICJ ruling applied to Hamas? In any case it is expected democratic elected governments comply with and recognise international law. I seriously doubt anyone expects a terrorist group to do so. It is true to say some democratic countries are hypocrites by viewing themselves as exceptions from the norms of international laws, whilst demanding others comply.
  14. A month after Israeli allegations that a dozen United Nations staff were involved in the 7 October Hamas attack, UN investigators have yet to receive any evidence from Israel to support the claims though they expect some material to be forthcoming “shortly”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/01/unrwa-funding-pause-employees-october-7-hamas-attack-claims-no-evidence-un?utm_term=65e160d4bb415b2863189e1ea45554ef&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUK&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTUK_email
  15. One month after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide by ensuring sufficient humanitarian assistance and enabling basic services, Israel has failed to take even the bare minimum steps to comply, https://www.amnesty.org.au/israel-defying-icj-ruling-to-prevent-genocide-by-failing-to-allow-adequate-humanitarian-aid-to-gaza/#:~:text=One month after the International,bare minimum steps to comply%2C
  16. Unfortunately it's all rather "so what". Israel has violated 28 resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (which are legally binding on member-nations U.N. Accordingly I assume Israel will ignore any advisory / ruling of the ICJ the Israelis consider not to their advantage.
  17. USA is not a State member of ICJ so cannot veto any decision by the Court.
  18. Interesting...last year there were more than 4 millions Malaysian visitors to Thailand. https://www.malaymail.com/news/life/2024/01/02/at-456-million-malaysian-tourists-top-list-of-visitors-to-thailand-in-2023-says-thai-minister/110295#:~:text=BANGKOK%2C Jan 2 — Malaysians led,international visitors during the year.
  19. No import duty on used personal items. When I used a service from QLD to Pattaya the local agent was Asian Tigers, can't remember the Oz company so suggest you contact Asian Tigers in BKK, they have staff who understand English. No problems whatsoever with the service.
  20. The OP is primarily focusing on exports for food, fashion, pharmaceuticals and herbal products, cocoa. Tourism and services for Muslims which is already well underway from Malaysia, KSR etc
  21. The document issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu overnight into Friday about postwar Gaza is unworthy of being called a diplomatic plan, let alone a vision for the future. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-02-24/ty-article/.premium/netanyahus-ideas-for-postwar-gaza-are-aimed-at-strengthening-the-occupation/0000018d-dc0f-dc4b-a1cd-dd2f35200000?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=daily-brief&utm_content=1b129b1ffb
  22. Ozimoron's post is certainly on topic as addressing some fundamental issues (children staving) for the Gazan population which logically will have increasing as the Israeli position does not appear to have altered.
