Syrian Rebels Take Damascus As Assad Flees Amid Global Concerns
The Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria was between military forces, not civilian governments. It was signed in Geneva by an Israeli major general and a Syrian general and was witnessed by a Fimnish general serving with a U.N. peacekeeping force. The final paragraph of the agreement states: "This Agreement is not a Peace Agreement. It is a step towards a just and durable peace on the basis of Security Council resolution 338 dated 22 October 1973." https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v26/d88 When the Assad regime fell, the Syrian Army deserted the positions it had held for the past 50 years under the terms of the agreement. The IDF moved in to prevent these positions from falling to Islamist or other hostile forces. Some minority groups, such as the Druze and Christians, may feel they have more to lose under Islamist control than Israeli control. If past history is any guide, the Islamists have little tolerance for minority religions and crack down hard on them. Moreover, some groups within the Syrian rebels want to wage war against Israel. Footage shows Syrian rebels in Damascus vowing: ‘From here to Jerusalem. We’re coming for Jerusalem. Patience, people of Gaza’ Footage from a mosque in Damascus aired by Hebrew media shows Syrian rebels vowing to march on Jerusalem, a day after a stunning opposition advance took over the capital, ending the Assad family’s five decades of iron rule. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/footage-shows-syrian-rebels-in-damascus-vowing-were-coming-for-jerusalem-patience-people-of-gaza/ It's not surprising under these circumstances Israel's leaders would choose to move the IDF into the Syrian side of the border area between the two countries while choaos reigns. -

Thai-British Beauty Queen Duped Out of 4M Baht, Suspect Arrested
There are 15 posts above this, including 3 from "quake" who got it wrong but then admitted it. 9 of the remainder could not even be bothered to read the OP properly before hitting the keyboards with their bile and venom. Pathetic and disgusting at the same time. There is nothing that says that Charlotte Austin went to Cambodia. That was Parichat who was paid to set up a Thai bank account. The group then scammed money from Austin into the Thai bank account, quite possibly using the same or similar routine as that described by "bfc180". Faced with documents that nearly fooled a judge, video calls that appeared to be from an official police officer and threats of prison, what would you superintelligent tough guys do? If you cannot be bothered to read, that's fine, just don't start typing. -

Thailand Targets Tougher Alcohol Laws to Align with Global Norms
Now, imagine the Thai police would arrest everybody who is drunk and drives. Now that would make a huge difference. But obviously we can't expect such radical changes in Thailand.
