Of course, he means Jews. What else to call them?!? In your opinion, has their been a significant rise in anti-semitism. Stats, please. And do you think this rise has to do with Israel's pre-emptive aggression?Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:45:49 +0000Not exactly my most popular post !😂.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:44:54 +0000Everyone reading knows it is you. You try to pretend that it isn't, using your 'mirror effect' pathetic form of nonsense, but in fact your words there can be seen a few posts above. You have a serious 'denial' issue. I've noticed it from you, for years now. Constantly trying to deflect what is obvious to any sentient being. Seems your dementia is kicking in early. Surely you didn't forget that you wrote that?Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:44:50 +0000Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:44:43 +0000Thanks, Jing. I am somewhat objective on Israel, mostly due to the Peace Summit. Those 20% Arabs are tolerated because they shut up and toe the line no matter what they really believe--who knows. What's black-and-white to me has nothing to do with Israelis and Palestinians or Lebanese or Iranians. What's black-and-white to me is war. Violence increasing human suffering. I can't speak out on everything. Israel's aggression was so obvious, I've chosen their wars to speak out about. You may not believe me, you may think I'm an antisemite at heart. Israelis are there,; the homeland won't disappear, people were born there. But for Israel to survive as an honourable nation, part of the world community, it has to find some route to make peace with its neighbours. One way would be to be civilised to Gazans, provide adequate food, clean water and shelter while rebuilding what the IDF has destroyed. Give those Gazans jobs and pay them, preferable working alongside IDF troops who are no longer needed for aggression. Is Hamas in hiding for the present? Maybe to probably. Perhaps a solution would be to let Hamas be a political party as Hezbollah is in Lebanon and give up its militancy. For this to happen, a good faith gesture by Qatar would be to stop funding them and sheltering their leadership. Why has Israel not made diplomatic overtures about this? Similarly, for Iran to cut off all funding for Hezbollah's military wing. Would both wither on the vine? We just don't know until these options are explored in good faith. So far, Israel has demonstrated little to no good faith. Even Iran might be willing to listen to reason and save some money. But it all depends on good faith, on somebody to start first. That should be Israel. Another good faith gesture would be restoring the Palestinian boundaries, preferably to 1948. If not, 1967. Again, remove the violent colonists and their state-sponsored terrorist military and police back to Israel. Drop the checkpoints. Make Palestine not occupied any more except by the people who belong there. What's there to lose? Yes, there might be violence against Israel but there is now, too, so nothing to lose. Lebanon has been emasculated. It is not an effective state, though its leadership seem competent and compassion.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:43:07 +0000For me, because I can, not everybody can, will or do, I want and I doTue, 09 Jun 2026 11:43:02 +0000Very rarely.

I was only answering a previous post!Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:41:05 +0000Look who is speaking 😎 who is most bored out of you and me ? thats the question 😆 Edit note, I do not read all of his posts, I got a daily limit.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:40:51 +0000I wouldn't call 2 entries per year excessive.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:40:29 +0000Bored Coffee Drinking manTue, 09 Jun 2026 11:40:14 +0000Not sure why you quoted me in your post. Perhaps a mistake. There are a few people here that hold grudges for whatever reason or just have hate in their hearts and want to cause as much mischief as possible. Personally I can have a strong disagreement with someone on one thread and be in complete agreement on another. It's not personal for me. Your perception that I target certain posters is incorrect. You only notice it because of the way that they react when any discussion opens. They take a prejudicial stance, every time. They cannot get over it. Which of course isn't going to bring agreement. For me, I start anew each time. Hence, my conversation with you now.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:39:42 +0000Ukraine's escalating drone campaign against Russian-occupied territories is disrupting Moscow's military supply network and worsening fuel shortages across occupied Crimea, according to officials, analysts and local reports. Get today's headlines by email The shortages have been linked to repeated Ukrainian strikes on transport routes connecting southern Russia to Crimea through the occupied city of Mariupol. Analysts describe the route as a critical artery for Russian military logistics in southern Ukraine. Supply Routes Under PressureClément Molin of the French think tank Atum Mundi said Ukraine had conducted around 300 drone strikes on trucks since early May, including about 30 fuel tankers, with attacks intensifying in recent weeks. Ukraine's drone forces commander, Robert Brovdi, said military cargo traffic along the route fell by 71% between late May and early June. Fuel Shortages Hit Residents and TouristsThe disruption has had visible effects across Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014 and uses as a key military base for operations against Ukraine. Residents and tourists have reported long queues at petrol stations, with some people waiting up to 10 hours to obtain fuel. Many stations have limited purchases to 20 litres per customer through prepaid vouchers, while some have run out of fuel entirely. Tourists who travelled to Crimea before the shortages began have also struggled to secure enough fuel for return journeys. In response, Moscow-appointed authorities established a dedicated hotline to assist stranded visitors. Fuel scarcity has driven up petrol and diesel prices across the peninsula. On 5 June, Crimea's Russian-installed leader, Sergei Aksyonov, acknowledged that authorities could not fully meet fuel demand and warned that hundreds of buses would remain idle because of shortages. Russia Acknowledges Supply ProblemsRussia's Energy Ministry publicly recognised fuel supply difficulties on 8 June, citing an increase in Ukrainian attacks on fuel and energy infrastructure in southern regions. The ministry said a permanent headquarters had been created to coordinate efforts to address the situation. Alternative supply routes remain limited. Maritime transport has become increasingly risky after Ukrainian attacks damaged several ferries serving Crimea. Traffic on the Kerch Bridge linking Crimea to mainland Russia has also been affected by previous attacks and security concerns. Craig Kennedy, an expert on Russia's oil industry and an associate at Harvard University's Davis Center, said transporting fuel by road through occupied territory now presents significant risks because vehicles remain vulnerable along the route. Military Impact and Expanding CampaignSome Russian military commentators argue the disruptions are affecting both civilian life and military operations. Pro-Kremlin military analysis channel Rybar said fuel shortages impacting civilians are also reducing supplies available to Russian forces in southern Ukraine. Ukraine has additionally targeted infrastructure in northern Crimea. Strikes on 6-7 June and again on 8-9 June damaged a bridge at Chonhar, a key crossing used by both military and civilian traffic, forcing authorities to suspend movement across it. The logistical strain has been compounded by Ukraine's long-range attacks on Russian oil refineries and storage facilities. President Volodymyr Zelensky said nearly 40% of Russia's primary oil-refining capacity was disabled in May as a result of such strikes. According to Kennedy, Ukraine's campaign is increasingly shifting from large refineries to local fuel distribution networks, creating concentrated pressure on specific regions, particularly Crimea. Wider Effects Across Occupied TerritoriesDrone operations have also targeted occupied parts of the Luhansk and Kherson regions. Ukrainian commander Yevhen Karas said disrupting Russian logistics remains a central objective, with fuel depots, storage facilities and military infrastructure among priority targets. Russia has meanwhile accused Ukraine of causing civilian casualties in several attacks in occupied territories, including incidents involving public transport. Karas did not comment on specific cases but said civilian vehicles were not deliberately targeted, while acknowledging that mistakes can occur in an active combat zone. Authorities in occupied Luhansk have restricted bus services on key routes leading toward Mariupol and Crimea, citing security concerns. The combined impact of Ukraine's strikes on fuel infrastructure and transport routes has increased pressure on Russian military logistics while also bringing the effects of the war more directly to residents of occupied territories.
