Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
No response to my second paragraph? Did you read the Times article? I don't often respond to every word in a post to which I'm responding, but since you seem to be requesting a response, sure. Yes, I read the NYTimes article. Is it the complete destruction of Gaza, and the dire consequences for its...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
Seems the IDF is having a jolly old time going about the senseless and unnecessary destruction of Gazan civilian infrastructure - and celebrating on social media. First, we can have a separate conversation some other time about whether what Israel is doing in Gaza is senseless, unnecessary, or both...

Re: Best burgers in Udon
Everyone can encounter a bad meal anywhere, the polite and gentlmenly way is to make your concerns known at the time to the staff or boss. Sometimes it's not that easy. "Hi, just wanted to let you know that your burger is one of the worst I've ever had. Full of gristle and tasteless." Some might ev...

Re: Cataract surgery at AEK Udon
Four posts from 12 years ago where there's no reference to successful outcomes after eye surgery at AEK Udon. Then a brand new member, just joined today, posts something that sounds like it came from a session on ChatGPT. But you missed the link at the bottom of his post - to an eye therapy busines...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
As difficult as it would be to take the decision, I think that the hostages should be written off. When you give in to extortion, it only encourages repeat behavior.

ps It is the subject of some dispute whether Ms Meir ever said those words. Interesting, I didn't know that. I couldn't access your link, as it appears to be behind a paywall.

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
So you don't understand why they would object to Embassies being moved to East Jerusalem. Not really, no. It was never "Palestinian" land. It was part of Jordan until 1967, then Jordan abandoned its claim to the land after the Six Day War. Had the Palestinians been willing to agree to a peace deal ...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
A meaningless list, without presenting an understanding of the reasons for rejection. Nah. If they rejected the proposals a few times, I might agree with you. If they truly wanted peaceful coexistence, they could have negotiated whatever problems they perceived. But EVERY time? 22 times? I simply d...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
Anyway, Netanyahu has now publicly stated that there will be no 2 state solution. It is my understanding that the political leaders of Palestine have said that from Day One. Hamas has never stated they are in favour of a two-state solution. In other words, the destruction of Israel as a long game i...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
Good idea, except that not supporting Hamas is regularly punished by death, usually in public view in the street.jackspratt wrote: ↑January 19, 2024, 9:42 amYes, but by lifting up the aspirations and opportunities for the bulk of the Palestinian population, you more than likely diminish their support for HAMAS, and therefore HAMAS itself.

You may well be right. Similarly, it is a pipe dream to think that Hamas will ever consider living in a mutually respectful peace with Jews.jackspratt wrote: ↑January 19, 2024, 8:47 amIn my view, it is a pipe dream to believe HAMAS can be "totally" destroyed.

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
My understanding is that hospitals are afforded special protections under various conventions. So if you are going to attack one, you need to be pretty sure you have good justification to do so. In this case, the non-existent "Command Centre" obviously failed that test. As I said above, even assumi...
