    I do tend to agree, I don't particularly like Biden, I just dislike him less than I dislike Trump. However I do think Trump was the 44th worst president ever, and Biden might be somewhere around the 30th worst. Neither are particularly good choices, and the fact that we're reduced to those two choices says a lot about where America is today. 

    If Trump is 44th worst then you mean he is the second best. 

    I would say he is in the top 10 but not 2nd.

    Biden is near the bottom, and would defebe worst if given another term

    The question that should be really asked is How many Palestinians and Israelis will have to die before the Palestinians

    will realise that they're fighting a losing war? I mean there is no way in hell for them to win with the way they do now,

    so what is the point to continue? unless of course Palestinians lives don't matter, and by looking at how things

    are at the moment, for the people that behind all of this, they don't...

     

    Reducing it to a matter of winning or losing oversimplifies the complexities of the situation and undermines the legitimate grievances and aspirations of both Palestinians and Israelis.

     

    Characterizing the conflict as a "losing war" for Palestinians overlooks the systemic inequalities and power imbalances that have perpetuated their struggle for self-determination and basic human rights. Palestinians have faced displacement, occupation, and numerous human rights violations, including restrictions on movement, land confiscation, and the expansion of illegal settlements.

     

    Also, attributing blame solely to Palestinians for perpetuating the conflict disregards the role of the Israeli government in maintaining and exacerbating tensions through its policies and actions. The ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, the expansion of settlements in defiance of international law, and the disproportionate use of force against Palestinian civilians have all contributed to the cycle of violence and instability.

    Dehumanizing Palestinians or dismissing their suffering only serves to perpetuate animosity and hinder prospects for reconciliation and peace.

    I know just to say that foreigners come here to make money is ridiculous... and Thais are going workin in other countries because they pay more.. and often they work illegally.. Look at Korea, now Saudi Arabia, and I know people in Europe too... So a few foreigners who do something here have to work that a Thai can't do and that is almost impossible to find and than they get a low payment according to Western standards..

    Foreigners come here for freedom.  Well I came to escape the sideways sleet in Aberdeen.

    Israel is a racist, settler colonial project that would not have been possible without hundreds of thousand of white European settlers stealing the land and homes of the indigenous people.

     

    Keep supporting this mad project that has killed millions over the last 100 years. Israel should not exist, and does not deserve to exist.

    You are not allowed to say that, it's not nice.

  5. Rape of Palestinian women has been a continual thing for many years. 

    Quote

    We are expecting the Resistance "not to stand idly by in the face of this heinous [crime]," a spokesperson for a women's group in Gaza said on September 5.

    Maybe will help some understand that Oct 7 was not the start!

    I sent you this article to give you some context. October 7th would not have happened if the Likud had not bolstered Hamas for years in order to sabotage any possibility of a Palestinian state. You do understand the concept of nuance, I am sure. Palestinian children are dying of thirst and hunger this very moment and nothing justifies that, unless they are "preemptively killing terrorists" which is a dubious notion to say the least.

     

    Also, a much-needed historical reminder:

     

    The Nakba:

    Five Palestinian towns massacred 75 years ago
    Thousands of Palestinians were killed and tens of thousands expelled during and after the creation of the Israeli state in 1948.

    But it all started on Oct 7. Palestinians have had equal rights in Israel. There is no Apartheid. There has never been Occupation, no settlers have stolen land in Palestine.
