Trump the convicted felon gets off so why not Bidens son?
Senseless. It appears you have been severely traumatized by the recent political events in the United States. Your president Trump has a lot more to load in your ears. -

Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
The topic is a reported attack on an Israeli by people identified as German. I doubt the attackers were native born Germans. As rude as they might be, even the modern day Germany right wing groups typically don't do that. I will not be surprised if the attackers are anything but German. It is like the moto jerks in Phuket who are described as French when they are more likely to self identify as North African. -

What low/medium price wine do you recommend.
Sorry, but I can't agree with you and what you stated was part of a "misconception" put around a few years ago. For a start, if the ABV is 10% or thereabouts, then the product will not attract the full tax/duty anyway, so why would a producer lie on the label and to the authorities that it was a fruit wine when it wasn't, because it simply doesn't need to do this when the "wine" has a low ABV%? So the producer and seller of this wine which you believe is really pure wine and has no fruit juice in it, means that producer/importer is actually breaking the law as is the retailer and I don't believe any company would risk that. Furthermore, some of these "fruit wines" are produced in Australia and a wine buyer I know in Australia got back to me (and actually posted on this thread a few years back) with my questions about this "fruit wine" and stated that the producers of "real wine" really did frown upon this practice of adding fruit juice to the grape juice in making the wine, which was against their principles. They stated that this was not what they considered "wine" but was pure cr@p. So it does happen. So what you're trying to say is that the whole "fruit wine" industry is a lie perpetrated by producers in Australia and Thailand, not to mention other countries from which this fruit wine emanates, namely France, Italy, Chile, South Africa and New Zealand to name a few that I can recall. Sorry it is just not feasible and not only the winemakers in Australia who were in touch, but also a senior manager of Wine Connection here admitted to me that in some cases, bulk grape juice was shipped to Vietnam, where it was mixed with pineapple or passionfruit juice in the case of white wine, and sold here as Les Solstices (and still is). And just to make it perfectly clear to you, Siam Winery, in its early correspondence, admitted that it imported bulk grape juice from South Africa and addedl Roselle to the juice before fermenting it, so it attracted the lower tax breaks because it could be labelled "fruit wine". -

Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
You have a different definition for genocide when it involves Israel. If there was a genocide in Gaza there would be an overall reduction in the population, but there has not been. On the contrary, the population of Gaza has still increased. Gaza has been pumping out babies at the rate of of approx. 27/1000 population. Gazan women are veritable reproduction machines churning out an average of 4 per woman. Most of the dead in Gaza are Hamas militant related, either combat personnel or support personnel involved in logistics, command & control and administration. Approx. 45,000 are reported dead. That's not a very effective genocide. It's not as if you don't have actual genocides in the region to benchmark against. You know, something like the mass slaughter of Africans in Darfur. 100,000+ and increasing.
