Middle East Macron's Bold Move: France to Recognise Palestinian State
The land assigned to a Jewish state under the 1947 partition plan included the Negev Desert, which at that time wasn't arable and had very few permanent residents. Israel got desert in the south and swampland in the north. The U.N. committee gave this land to Israel because Zionist settlers had a long record of transforming non-arable or semi-arable land into farms and orchards. The drip irrigation method was invented by a Zionist settler. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reclamation-of-man-made-desert/ https://irrigationleadermagazine.com/how-kibbutz-hatzerim-helped-pioneer-drip-irrigation/ Moreover, Israel needed more land to support what was expected to be an influx of landless Jewish refugees from Europe and the nearly one million Jews who would be driven out of Arab countries. This was all part of broad U.N. approval to give Jews a homeland which would resettle survivors of the Holocaust. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/postwar-refugee-crisis-and-the-establishment-of-the-state-of-israel I'm not sure if this has changed recently, but as of 2024, Israel had been recognized by 164 of the U.N.'s 193 member states. Twenty-five Muslim majority countries (including Malaysia and Indonesia) and three non-Muslim-majority countries (Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea) don't recognize Israel. There are eight other countries which have severed diplomatic ties with Israel but have not withdrawn recognition. The videos taken by Hamas members and other Gazans on Oct. 7, 2023, were much more horrendous. -

Roi Et or Chum Phae?
A friend’s mother-in-law owns houses in Roi Et and Chum Phae, where I could stay for an extended period, practically for free. I’ve never been to Isaan and don’t know a soul in either place, but I’m itching to finally see more of LOS than the usual touristy places. I’m also keen to learn some Thai while I’m there, so I can at least communicate at a bare minimum. My plan would be to stay for two months in the first instance, and longer if I really like it. Rather than spending one month in each place, I’d prefer dipping my feelers in one place for both initial months. Assuming the skirmish with Cambodia blows over, or at least won’t extend to these areas, which place would you Isaan connoisseurs out there recommend? -

Economy Thailand Seeks Competitive US Tariff Rate Amid August Deadline
Canadians have all but stopped going to the US and American liquor has been removed from government liquor stores in some provinces. It's hitting American border towns very hard. More innocent people suffering for the asinine policies of a central government. Canadian corporations are whipping up nationalism and reaping the profits, as Canadians are largely stupid and easily manipulated. -
