You can sue them yourself of better still let the Israel government sue them.

So, why do you have a problem with Israel shutting them down?

Their accuracy is what set them apart.

What accuracy exactly? They can't point to any verifiable fact to support their accusations of Israel.

What are your evidence that Israel did not blast the place?
Are your evidence base on Israel denial?


You sound like a typical Palestinian now. Reverse psychology.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Al Jazeera Shut Down In Israel by ibinaboonline: 12:20pm On Oct 21, 2023
Don't digress. Just answer the question, can Aljazeera provide concrete proof in court that Isreal was behind the hospital blast? Whether CNN, Israel, America, UK, and the whole world put together have been peddling false information, does that warrant a news media to also peddle false or unverified information? If you owned and run Aljazeera, wouldn't you want to be the difference, the beacon of truth in the world? Of course not, because you care more about smearing your perceived enemies.

Please dont insult my common sense.
CNN and israel have been peddling false information and public apology since the war started.
You then expect people to believe their denial of war crime committed?!

What are you even taking about. Is Al Jazeera not practicing journalism? A news media, like individual journalists, is the gateway to information, the truth, with the hallowed responsibility to ensure the public gets to the truth. By that tenet, they've failed the public and betrayed their ethics by publishing conclusively without established facts. They can and should publish the story of what happened while mentioning the perceived suspects, the accused, and other actors involved. Can Aljazeera provide conclusive proof in court that Isreal was behind the attack? What if a different revelation comes out tomorrow following ongoing investigations? By then the damage has been done extensively. To your type and the Aljazeera news media, the objective has been achieved. It's not about the truth for the likes of you.
tollyboy5:

Investigation is meant for journalist not Israel fan club. Do you expect Israel to admit their war crime after seeing responses from the world condemning them?

Only illogical bible fan think otherwise in most cases.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Al Jazeera Shut Down In Israel by ibinaboonline: 9:31am On Oct 21, 2023
If aljazeera is unbiased, they wouldn't insist on accusing Israel of being responsible for the Gaza Baptist hospital incident without substantiated proof. Israel said it didn't and there's no proof they did. All this media houses, CNN included, just pursue the narrative they're invested in.

Family / Re: My Wife Calls Her Family For Everything by ibinaboonline: 5:23pm On Oct 18, 2023
He had originally planned to "buy" her respect with his money but that backfired.

Are you certain he was trying to buy her respect and admiration? Maybe he was been romantic with his own wife? Oh well, he's too poor to even buy the rich man's daughter some poor gift that don't measure up.

A reasonable person would have learned from that rather than continue to insist she must admire him for what he is able to buy for her in his poverty.

Chai. You keep using that phrase "in his poverty, and yet you say you have no disdain for the poor. Anyway, just chai. It's not about the quality of the gift, you know. It's the gesture. I think a man should pray for a woman that will appreciate a gift for the gesture instead of weigh the quality of the gesture by the quality of the gift. I know very well some women from rich families too will even appreciate the gift more than million dollar diamonds just because of who the gift came from.

He's "lucky", indeed, but he's still a man, period. That's my point. He's still entitled to his feelings, whether he's wealthy or not. The fact he isn't wealthy doesn't invalidate his embarrassment.

Family / Re: My Wife Calls Her Family For Everything by ibinaboonline: 5:07pm On Oct 18, 2023
It would've been okay to "sit as lord and master over his wife" if he had the financial means?

Since he isn't rich enough, then he doesn't deserve the respect he craves. You see, such mentality is just as poor as a poor man.

I do appreciate your point that he should've been prepared for the direction his union with this woman would go. In fact, I think he shouldn't try to restrain the woman and I've already said so in an earlier comment.

But I can smell disdain for the poor in your comment. All this man is asking for is for his wife to not have a habit of airing his inadequate financial capability to his wife's family. I think that's very understandable, even if he's wrong. It's neither ego not lording and mastering over his wife. But your comment implies he has no right to feel embarrassed because he's not wealthy enough to match his wife's family. To that, I disagree.


Kobojunkie:
Having an ego has nothing to do with respect. If OP had respected himself from the start, he would not have gotten himself into this situation expecting it all to go his way --- for him in his poverty to sit as lord and master over a wife from a rich family. Op let his ego lead him and now he is letting the same ego attempt to ruin his marriage. undecided

I'm disappointed by this statement. So, poor people should have no self respect? You may say ego and self respect are two different things, then I'll remind you that OP's feeling isn't necessarily ego. In fact, it isn't. If someone saw your unclothedness, your feeling of embarrassment isn't ego. Or, is it?

Nawa o. This one is deep. My brother, all I can tell you, and you should really listen to me, just double your hustle. You said they don't insult you, so that's a good sign. Is your wife's behavior good? No. Should you insist she deny herself and suffer? My loud advice is, no. Let her be. If you succeed at forcing her to be managing life when her family and friends are okay, she'll recent you for it. Remember, forcing her to not ask her family won't make them see you any differently than they see you now. The only thing that will make them see you differently is if you get to that level where you can afford the best cars and finest houses. That's why I said just double your hustle. I wonder what you were expecting marrying a rich man's daughter. In some ways, you're not being fair to her by expecting her to start cooking 3k soup when her family she came from cooks 30k soup.

A woman walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie's lamp. She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared. The amazed woman soon came back to her senses and asked if she got three wishes.

The Genie said, "Nope. . . due to inflation, constant downsizing, fierce global competition, and low wages in third-world countries, I can only grant you one wish. So, . . . what shall it be?"

The woman didn't hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other."

The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Good Lady! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for centuries. I'm good but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another wish."

The woman thought for a few minutes and said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the house cleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That's what I wish for โ€” a good mate."

The Genie let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Let me see that map again!"

Car Talk / Why Are Japanese Engines So Reliable? by ibinaboonline: 5:53pm On Oct 12, 2023
True story from a former Toyota employee:

Many years ago I worked at a Toyota factory in the USA. One day we had some visitors from GM taking the factory tour and the visitorโ€™s center was hospitable and had them meet some of the engineers and technical people (I was in IT and honestly had the best personality to deal with visitors so was invited along).

The GM people asked us to see our rework yard. I had no idea where or what that was so I asked my colleagues what it is and where it is. They were as confused as me.

When asked, the GM folks told us itโ€™s the lot where they keep cars that come off the assembly line with defects so that they can be patched up and sold.

So we took them to the small warehouse area where we keep the dozen or so cars that come off the line with a minor issue that we can fix and make it as good as every other car. More often than not it was an issue with the stitching on the seat or a steering wheel or something like that, and we would just replace the part that was imperfect.

GM guy: โ€œWhereโ€™s the rest of it?โ€

Me: โ€œThis is it. What do you do?โ€

GM guy explained they had a large lot for cars that come off the line with faulty body work or engines or transmissions, and theyโ€™re patched up so they can be sold. Then he said โ€œwhat do you do with your defective cars?โ€

We explained that it rarely happens, and when it does we study it, figure out what went wrong, fix the issue so it wonโ€™t happen again, and then either keep the car for further study and training purposes or crush it. Nothing that comes off the line with a serious defect leaves the factory.

And thatโ€™s why Japanese engines (and vehicles) are known for reliability. Yes, tolerances are tight and yes, Japanese companies avoid untested technology. But thatโ€™s secondary.

The main reason is that anything defective that gets produced is studied, not sold, and then improvements are made so it wonโ€™t happen again.

The Japanese do make bad cars sometimes. They just donโ€™t sell them.

Not everyone can say that.

Wish I can like your comment twice. You know what you are talking about. Very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Dandal:


Absolutely not!

For starters, Hamas stated that their reason for capturing Israelis was to swap them with tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli jails. It is not the first time that Israel has bombarded Gaza even when Hamas is holding an Israeli captive or threatened to kill the captive. Remember Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier captured by Hamas in 2006 during a cross border raid ? Well, Israel promised to unleash hell upon Hamas, if he was not released, and bombed Gaza civilians for months, but at the end Israel and Hamas came to a negotiated settlements in which Hamas freed Gilad Shalit and in exchanged Israel released 1000 Palestinian prisoners to Hamas. In early 2000s and in 2006, Israel released Palestinian prisoners, including many Hamas and Hezbollah leaders in exchange for the bodies of dead Israeli soldiers killed many years prior by Hezbollah. Some of the Israeli captives may die from the bombardment of Gaza, but eventually Israel would still come to negotiating table with Hamas to negotiate the release of those Israeli captives who are dead or alive. Hamas knows this!

Israel response to provocative attack by the Palestinian resistance Hamas is very predictable to those who are familiar with events in that region. Israel initial responses are always reactionary. First, It starts with war of words such as "we would unleash hell on Gazans", "We dont negotiate with terrorists", and blah blah blah. Its next reaction is unleashing extensive destruction and collective bombing upon the civilian population of Gaza, while Hamas fighters for the most part would take shelter along with their captives in well-fortified underground bunkers and trenches within Gaza. But when reality sets in, and the Zionist regime starts feeling the political pressure from families of the kidnapped victims, they would eventually come to a negotiating table for a prisoners swap. So, It's safe to say that Hamas's calculations align with the expectation that Israel's brutal retaliation will primarily impact innocent Palestinian civilians, which is what the world is currently witnessing. After it huffs and puffs to its satisfaction, Israel would eventually come to negotiate a prisoner swap with Hamas. To Hamas militant group, forcing the Zionist govt to a negotiating table to free its prisoners regardless of the cost is a 'military' victory that earns them 'legitimacy' as a resistance group.

Then there is what many would consider a political victory for Hamas as Israel carries out its devastating and predictable retaliation on the civilian population of Gaza. The more Israel unleashes destruction on Palestinian civilians, the more Israel damages its credibility and those of its allies around the global; this phase is already playing out. For starters, the ongoing US sponsored Israeli-Arab/Middle East countries normalization agreements together with the so-called India-Middle east Transport Corridor Plan initiated during the G20 summit and presented by Netanyahu during the recent UNGA , has all been nullified by Hamas. Arab leaders seeking to normalize ties with Israel are now terrified of their populations, and reneging their plans to normalize ties with Israel and are declaring total support for the Palestinian cause. Even King Abdullah of Jordan, the staunchest US and Israel's Arab ally in the region, has vehemently condemned Israel and has also declared support for the Palestinians. He also vehemently denied the rumor being spread that his country has given US the greenlight to station its 101st Airborne Division in Jordan to defend Israel. The Palestinian cause has taken center stage in global discourse in a way it has not done since the creation of the state of Israel, and its significance and resonance within the Arab and Muslim world, especially in the context of a changing multipolar world, cannot be underestimated.

While Israel's immediate response seems to be a heavy-handed bombardment, invasion, and destruction of Gaza, the Israeli military has no doubt been humiliated; its image of invincibility has been dealt a devastating blow by Hamas, a much much smaller foe compared to Hezbollah. So it is no surprise that the Israeli government would want to reclaim its prestige through a ruthless war of annihilation on Gaza with brutality that will be โ€œremembered for the next 50 years" according to the Israeli defense Minister Gallant. However, this level of brutality is precisely what Hamas is banking on, and it is already proving detrimental to the Zionist regime's standing in world's public opinion by laying bear the incessant brutality of occupation to which the Palestinian people are subjected since the creation of the state of Israel.

In the short term, Israel may achieve its military objectives, but in the long run, it would loose the broader battle in the global political arena. US global hegemony and that of its allies is on the decline, hence the Zionist project of perpetual occupation of Palestinian lands is also loosing steam. The Palestinians have remained resolute in their determination not to be overlooked or forgotten. That's what winning is to them. And in this regard, Israel has already lost war.

Very informative. So, Hamas membership is majorly Sunni? Never thought of that.

It is not the Islamic society as a whole.
Government of Islamic countries prefer practical solutions but a large portion of the citizenry favors radicalism.

The truth is that the majority Sunni muslim hates Shiite Iran but the Palestinian issue have made them
partially swallow the Iranian bitter pill since it is the only Muslim country which continuously threaten Israel
with total destruction in modern times. Hamas is itself a Sunni.

I am not surprised by these attacks because Iran have been issuing threats and blackmails since the "normalisation"
talks has begun.

Iranian "solution" to the conflict is that it expel all the Israeli from the entire territory even though it knows, it can't work.
Palestinian conflict is the lifeline of Iran in the Islamic world, whatever or whoever attempts to cool it down

Hmm, I just wonder how much more the US can take before stretching its resources too thin to continue. The Ukraine aid is already riling waters at the US parliament, ultimately costing McCarthy his senate leadership. Now Israel on top, while Zelensky is still stretching out his hands for aid. I wonder if China isn't enjoying watching America run dry.

Did they not know that US will stand with Israel no matter what?

That's why I said they don't calculate anything.

Anyone that puts hand will collect from Israel.
