Also illegal under international law.

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.

Long processing times for Age Pension has been in the news in Oz, govt allegedly recruiting more resources. However, standard processing time has been 13 weeks before eligibility for a long time. Agree with you will be obliged to stay two years to obtain portability.

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

Might assist you to understand the conflict which actually commenced as a result of British / French colonial policies. Putting aside the corruption feeding the conflict, have a read of the following... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Siamese_Treaty_of_1909#:~:text=The treaty affirmed British assent,1851–1868) to power. the-conflict-in-southern-thailand.pdf

Pope Francis has said that Ukraine should negotiate an end to the war with Russia, using for the first time the term "white flag", which is a universal symbol for surrender. A Vatican spokesperson clarified that the pope had picked up on the words used in the interviewer's question and meant to call for "a truce". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-10/pope-francis-urges-ukraine-have-courage-of-the-white-flag/103570402

More misinformation (lies) from trump world. When will you cease this behaviour....

As you well know Biden Administration proposed strong new immigration regulations. Legislation was rejected upon Trump's instruction as getting the inflow under control would be a disadvantage for Trump's re-election campaign. Well past due for Trump world to cease the misinformation and outright lies, though that would mean trump definitely will lose yet again, so truth in Trump world stays hidden.

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.

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)

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

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.

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.

In a topic referencing vilification of a minority, member does the exact same against an individual.

It sounds as though police did not press charges.

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.

Why Arab countries are currently unwilling to take refugees from Gaza. https://apnews.com/article/palestinian-jordan-egypt-israel-refugee-502c06d004767d4b64848d878b66bd3d

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.

Can't be bothered. Know Hamas, as will Israel, ignore if not to their advantage.

Disagree, as do many senior Western military commanders.
