Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
Hopefully no-one will ever forget what a despicable crowd Hamas is. But at the same time, not forget what Israel is currently (and previously) is doing in Gaza - and to a lesser extent, the West Bank. That is why Netanyahu's mug shot appears alongside that of Hamas political leader Yahya Sinwar. The...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
A somewhat more balanced, and critical analysis than that offered by Ms Phillips.

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
It is not a crime to write for either the Guardian or The Times. It is what you write which may attract attention and criticism - as Ms Phillips has done on numerous occasions. The wiki article shows some of these - with the verifiable links below the article. As a prominent member of the Australian...

Well, yes, this should be the end of the ICC; ....... Let's hope not. In fact, I wish them luck in pursuing this latest investigation, and bringing it to a just conclusion. A wild, almost fact-free polemic from Ms Phillips - who could never be accused of being an impartial or balanced commentator. ...

IMHO and from what I have read it was just a poorly managed flight in bad weather conditions.
DM did make an interesting and intelligent observation on the potential involvement of "outside forces".

According to these reports, genocide is not part of the allegations made by the ICC prosecutor - war crimes and crimes against humanity are. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-20/icc-seeks-arrest-warrants-for-netanyahu-hamas-leaders/103871928 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/20/world/israel-gaz...

Re: Teen moving to Udon (School, Activities)
Sounds fascinating - what visa are you applying for, or do you already have it?
Can't help with schools - as I don't live in Udon - but there are a number of bridges around the city.

Kiwis Are Bailing Out
Just to turn Piggy Muldoon's famous quote around, this reads like a lose/lose situation. :D More Kiwis than ever are choosing to move abroad and data shows Australia is now gaining 2,000 more New Zealanders every month as they go in search of opportunity. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-18/nz-un...

I think you will find they are raising a fuss over the many thousands of other Gazan people, and infrastructure, the IDF is indiscriminately eliminating along with Hamas.
