News Forum - Thai government prepares for potential Iran attack on Israel
Both are protected by international law. Israel is not above the law. Your goal here is solely to protect Israel, defend its actions and put forth your own interpretation of events to achieve that end regardless of the accepted truth of the matter. So go edit the Wikipedia page and show the world it is wrong and you are right. I double dare you. -

News Forum - Thai man and foreigner clash over water splash dispute (video)
Exactly. Songkran is a time of year, when nasty elements come out to take advantage of the "festival" to attack and harass people . There is a time and a place for water splashing. And no, attacking people with a water pistol is not Thai culture. It is lower class thug culture. We have the assailant's version of events, most likely dressed up to cover up the nastiness and ill intent. The guy intentionally sprayed his coffee. I'd have been angry too. Whatever the facts may be, it is a waste of time to argue with such people and it is best to stay away. Unfortunately, many people are forced to work during Songkran and the constant barrage of water can be depressing. My friend's sister works at a large Thai hospital. All leave is cancelled during Songkran and she works a longer shift because of all the injuries that come in. She can't stand getting doused on her way to work or when she is leaving. She's tired and just wants to go home and to sleep. -

News Forum - Thai government prepares for potential Iran attack on Israel
No, Israel did not attack the Iranian embassy. A building described as a consular annex was destroyed. There is a legal difference between a consulate annex and an embassy. Canada has retained ownership of the building previously used as an embassy and yes some windows were damaged. However, Canada cut diplomatic relations with both Syria and Iran 12+ years ago. There are no designated Canadian diplomats in Syria. Nor does Canada have any diplomatic status in Syria. Hezbollah is on the Canadian terrorism list. Both Syria and Iran are subject to Canadian sanctions. Syria is in a state of war with Israel . War damage is expected. You cite the Vienna Convention. Perhaps you should take the time to read it. The protections afforded are in respect to the sending and receiving states. This means that the convention only applies to Syria as the receiving state and Iran as the sending state. In this case we have a third party, israel, which is neither a sending nor a receiving state. In addition, there are no diplomatic relations in effect between Iran or Syria or Hezbollah and Israel. Therefore, the Vienna Convention does not apply, nor can it apply. Your argument has no basis. Using your logic, all that a belligerent party need do is to designate its premises as an embassy or a consulate to afford it protection. The Vienna convention does not extend protection in that circumstance. -
