Is that referring to the second image that Herzog showed? The one that's been publicly available since 2005 for everyone to see?

The one Sky News themselves have had full photos available of in their articles for years?

The one that everyone made fun of as dumb and not possible to work?

"A document presented by Israeli President Isaac Herzog as proof that Hamas intended to develop chemical weapons is actually an amateur biography of World Trade Center attacker Ramzi Yousef and contains no instructions on how to develop chemical weapons."

""It's al-Qaeda material. Official al-Qaeda material. We are dealing with ISIS, al-Qaeda and Hamas. And in this material there were instructions on how to produce chemical weapons," Herzog said of the document.

"This is how shocking the situation is where we're looking at the instructions that are given on how to operate and how to create a kind of non-professional chemical weapon with cyanide.""

"Readily available on the internet, the 30-page book contains no instructions on how to make chemical weapons but makes reference to the Kuwait-born Yousef's life working for al-Qaeda, especially his role in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center."

I see Israel is continuing the tradition of incredibly dumb and easily debunkable propaganda. And outside of Arabic-related news sources, I see no other media reporting on this that's actually noting said propaganda, but is instead taking Herzog's statement at face value.

No? You can look at my comment history if you want. I just noticed that the Swiss have had multiple incidents of pretty blatant racism in the past few years, along with extreme xenophobia that wasn't even just immigrant focused.

As we've seen repeatedly in the past decade, the Swiss has a major issue with racism on all fronts. It's been pretty extreme.

20% of the population is immigrants. But the vast majority aren't Muslim, so this party seems like it would be targeting Christians more than Muslims in actuality. Though I doubt they admit that to anyone.

Islam is only 5% of the population's religious demographic. Considering around 20% of the country's population is immigrant families, that means the majority of immigrants aren't even Muslim. So this party is entirely about fearmongering.

She was killed in her home. It's way more likely that it was by someone she knows. If anything, that person would be taking advantage of everything going on to make it seem like it's an anti-semitic attack to get attention off of them as the culprit.

Ah, so what you're saying is that attorney-client privilege doesn't apply to your communications with her, since she was never your attorney, right?

So instead of using they like a normal person would, they have to use something like s/he throughout entire documents? How clunky and ugly that must be.

Sounds like it was someone she knows, considering the location. Does she have an ex or other such person?

This article is actually trying to pretend Russia are the good guys here. What trash this article is. Posted by similar tankie trash.

This article is incredibly dumb. What's the alternative, they don't try to defend their country from being invaded? We've already seen all the genocidal actions Russia has done with the towns they've taken over, the mass graves and all that.

If needed, Ukraine will and should fight to the last person. Hopefully it doesn't come to that though. They need to be supported so it doesn't come to that.

Of course, the horrific flip side to this is that the end result (hopefully with the companies actually getting in trouble) is still going to be to deport all these kids.

And if they can't find their parents, I would expect they'd just stick them on a plane and kick them out of the airport on the other end in Guatemala.

"Hostages and civilian casualties will be secondary to destroying Hamas, Economy Minister Nir Barakat told ABC News, "even if it takes a year.""

Fucking hell.

What do you suggest is the way to determine if an author is using a specific setting or plot device in a serious and purposeful manner then? How do you tell if they're actually just a terrible person supporting terrible ideas?

If the answer is going to be their other statements and actions, then Rowling has made her terrible person status pretty clear.

Because the theme and overall storyline of 40k is meant to showcase how evil that is. In a way, the evilness is parody in how over the top it is, particularly with the use of Nazi-esque imagery.

Where in the setting of Harry Potter does it present house elves and their enslavement as a parody, joke, or otherwise not meant to be a serious take on the subject?

They measure how hot the engine is. The more hot, the more vroom.

Why Harris' house? Wouldn't outside of Biden's house make more sense? Really random.

Not kill everyone there as your method of dealing with the situation. It's literally a hostage situation on multiple fronts and Israel is choosing to kill everyone, hostages included.

She's the one that chose to make the fantasy world she made up the way it is. And she chose to make it one where a literal slave class of people enjoy being slaves and thinks slavery is great, so long as their slave masters treat them well. And the one person trying to free them is treated as a hyperbolic hippie type for even making such an attempt.

That is the made up world Rowling chose to make.
