Former US Green Beret says Israel committed war crimes at Gaza food distribution site | BBC
But keep in mind that those costs are not spend from some GDP but from the revenue of a country which is about 1/4 of the GDP in Israel so if you do the math with your 2%, the US is responsible for 8% of Israels income. I am not saying that the US is fully paying for the (mostly) free education and healthcare of Israel but thanks to the US and many other European countries Israel CAN afford it`s high class education and healthcare PLUS the weapons for the mass murder of civilians in the countries around it. The question you should ask yourself is why the US or any other country should pump Billions into a country which has the 13th highest GDP per capita in the world and much better healthcare and education than most of those donor countries ? I mean, if you decide to donate a fraction of your money to people in need, to whom would you wire that money? To the guy with the bigger car and house than you? -

Transport CAAT Considers Raising Airport Service Charge by October
Just add a thousand Baht or two onto every arrival and departure - it's the same thing the rest of the world does. If people stop coming and everyone goes bankrupt it can be reversed later prior to the 'recovery period' In many countries they apply different rates depending on the distance of the flight, the UK does this and it's far more expensive - they also charge a lot extra in tax of varying types depending on whether it's an economy seat or not, and it gets expensive quick. In the UK the government makes more money than the airlines do for many of the flights due to the taxes. Not saying it's a good thing as I hate taxes but this is consumption related do it's kind of optional. -

Report Supreme Court Verdict on Thaksin’s Hospital Stay Set for September 9
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Thailand's Supreme Court has set September 9 to deliver its verdict on whether ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra avoided prison by getting cushy treatment at the Police General Hospital instead of serving time behind bars. This high-profile case has captured national attention, as questions swirl around the legality of his hospital stay. The court concluded its seventh and final hearing with great impact, as Thaksin's lawyer invited former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam to testify. Wissanu, who was acting as justice minister when Thaksin made his dramatic return to Thailand on August 22, 2023, provided insights into two critical meetings about security and medical arrangements. Wissanu revealed that Thaksin received VIP treatment for three reasons: his past as a prime minister, potential threats from inmates, and his health needing constant supervision. Despite the buzz surrounding a royal pardon cutting Thaksin’s sentence from eight years to one, Wissanu maintained his role was limited to co-signing the decision. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions spearheaded the inquiry, which kicked off on April 30. This happened despite the court tossing out a petition from former MP Chanchai Issarasenarak due to inadequate standing. Yet, the case continued due to “reasonable doubts” about the laws guiding Thaksin’s sentence, as noted by The Nation. Previously, the court heard from a range of witnesses, including the Bangkok Remand Prison commander, prison doctors, hospital staff, and Corrections Department officials. With the outcome pending, anticipation is skyrocketing, leading to intense public scrutiny and debate. All eyes are set on September 9. The decision could redefine the boundaries between power and privilege, and confirm whether Thaksin's hospital bed stay was a shortcut to justice. The verdict promises to be a landmark moment in the saga of one of Thailand's most polarising political figures. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-31
