By implication, Israel and the IDF have no right to retaliate since Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran's missiles have done little damage. Do you really mean this? Should Israel wait until a few ballistic missiles take out an Israeli city and their inhabitants before Israel can take action? Perhaps using...

It does not matter who is president - Israel, under Netanyahu, will do what they intend to do, not what they are told to do. They were told to withdraw from Lebanon in the last war, and see where that got them. The whole point of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon is to destroy the proxies of Iran...

Recut the thread if you can get a matching dye. Regards from Perth Derek

Delaney, it is not BPD that is a concern; it is politicians with a Narcisstic Personality Disorder. I would imagine that this is far more prevalent, possibly more common than realised. Those with BPD are likely to be erratic and emotional. those with NPD are likely to be autocratic, dogmatic and...

I wonder (not really) how many politicians enter politics for the good of the country? Is it just naivity to believe election promises? Should politicians be held accountable when they do not follow up in their advertising? It strikes me that all Western countries - it is the same here in Oz -...

You mean piano. Studley built/repaired pianos. Regards from Perth Derek

I suspect that you are correct, Richard. This is more likely if Studley built it in his retirement. Do we know? I cannot imagine actually working from this cabinet ... just need that little screwdriver at the back .. back .. back .. oh bloody hell! Regards from Perth Derek

Jacob, there is no country called "Palestine". If you believe there is, show me where they are on a map. All the actual Arab countries, on the other hand, were invited. Regards from Perth Derek

It is interesting - enlightening - which side you take. I am not impressed. There are other perspectives, ones which take a very different viewpoint. What you must realise is that many of the Arab nations are angered by Hamas and Hezbollah (and, essentially, Iran) for destabilising the Middle...

Jacob, you are right. There you go. Does that make you happy :D Right about what? Does it matter? Whatever someone will suggest, you will take an opposing view. How long have we known each other ... 20 years? Neo-Luddite, indeed! :) Ordinarily I would suggest that you broaden your selective...

Another video of relevance in the issue of bias: Regards from Perth Derek

The UN thinking goes like this: it is illegal (for Israel) to use ****y trapped devices on civilians (the bystanders), despite the clear fact that the targets were very directed - importantly ignoring that Hezbollah are a terrorist, military organisation engaged in an illegal action. So what...

A lovely video about the exploding pagers. Watch it all, but the best part is at 5:15 .. Regards from Perth Derek

I posted the build of a trestle dining room table in Projects. For those that missed this, here are a few photos. The design is my own. The base uses elliptical sections, in Jarrah ... Note that chair to the right is one of two I built, based on the Japanese-Danish DC 09. The aim of the...

Triton, you insist on an emotional, biased perspective. For example, compare the IDF's precision targeting of Hama and Hezbollah military (the very recent pager bombs are an example of this, as is the dropping of leaflets into areas where Hamas soldiers hide to move the civilians out if harm's...

Deema, I see no point in pursuing this "discussion". It is too sickening to read these illiterate comments. Regards from Perth Derek

And in 2005, Israel left Gaza, removing all Israeli citizens. That does not sound like a country bent on annexation. Regards from Perth Derek

Let's just take one item from that sorry and biased tripe - apartheid. An one who lived in South Africa, I think I can say that I know what Apartheid is. Under apartheid all Black South Africans were stripped of their citizenship, making them alien migrant workers in their own country...

Good grief, Jacob. Is that the real you? Regards from Perth Derek

What b0ll0cks! You are making this up. What does that say about you? Regards from Perth Derek
