Schoenberg, A Mandate for Terror: The United Nations and the PLO [Shapolsky Books, 1989], p239)

Harkabi, The Palestinian Covenant and its Meaning [Vallentine Mitchell, 1979], pp47-8)

Posted in Is it just me or has Google become unusable?
Google and DDG (which I believe uses Bing as a backend) seem to have forgotten the basic logical features that made Google popular to begin with. "Quotes" no longer restrict a search to exactly what you are searching for. They give you other results instead, and promote what is popular over what was requested. You can no longer -subtract a search term to filter out things you do not want. They show you random commercial results from your geographic area that have nothing to do with what you searched for, and these are put on the first page which promotes them above actual search results. If anybody can dig up the old design papers and develop a clone of 1998 Google, they might pull users away from the giant by having a search engine that actually returns what the user asked for.

Posted in **The Art Thread For Everyone** Do whatever...just dont touch the work and stay behind the rope!
At least one person liked the last clipart slideshow, so here's one about gamers playing a Harry Potter MMORPG, The story's not finished, so it's short. I felt like sharing it before getting writer's blocked again.

Posted in **The Art Thread For Everyone** Do whatever...just dont touch the work and stay behind the rope!
This is stretching the definition of "art in any medium", but I don't see a better thread to put a clipart slideshow about aliens attempting to recruit a Magical Girl. The zipfile is a directory of images, you can read them in any image viewer that lets you click forward to view the next one.

Posted in how did reddit become a shithole?
It's one gigantic, site-wide circlejerk.
It's a gigantic, internet-wide circlejerk. The humongous PR firms that run "strategic communications" (trolling and censorship) for governments took over all of the biggest sites on the internet and started enforcing the contracts they were getting from Russia, Qatar, Pakistan, etc. No one will touch them because they are "intelligence".

It's not as if it's new. People forget how much of 'establishment' was for the Iraq War. This isn't a party problem, it's an American leadership problem.
Yeah, I remember that. Saddam was contained, diplomatic pressure was working, and we hadn't won the war in Afghanistan and should have finished up there. (And we saw how that turned out.) However, just like the Patriot Act, there was no debate within the establishment. The only groups that opposed the war were the Stalinists (who went with the message that they support Saddam), the ChiComs who ran the Not In Our Name movement, and the al-Qaeda fronts. So the people who wanted to oppose the war for reasonable reasons, they ended up rallying behind some very unsavory people. And the nutters ended up running the government under Obama, and this fact is only starting to trickle down to the public because the establishment media has been denying it all the time.

the operation is run by the UK’s Royal Institution, and dubbed “Challenging Pseudoscience.”
Its top patron is Charles, the Prince of Wales, next in line to the British throne, who recently hit out at supposed “conspiracy theories” surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.
Interesting.

That perspective has been muddled to the point that the Experts™ in D.C. consider the Taliban and al-Qaeda to be "moderates" and are pitching the idea of funding and arming them.

Posted in Suggest your idea for a cartoon/comic
I'd pitch a serial comic made from my Smash Brothers parody where they run around to different dimensions to recruit new fighters for the tournament. The gimmick would be that every time they switch dimensions, the comic would be drawn by a different artist in the artist's own style. A publisher could develop a new talent pool that way.

Biden hired Pakistani nationals and Hamas supporters to review all US armed forces for "extremism" after taking payoffs from Iran and Pakistan. And most media will consider this not to be newsworthy.

Posted in Ancient Meme Appreciation Thread
Mr. T. vs Everything was one of the more widespread memes on the internet in the days before Flash. There were hundreds of people making their own comics from the same stock images until the A-Team fan sites went down.
ToTL's War in Heaven incorporates several popular memes of the time: Bob from Subgenius, Eris from Principia Discordia, Linus Torvalds as a god of the Internet.

Posted in We Need A Strong United European Union
We need a European Union run by an alliance of Euroskeptics because the people running the current one are idiots for all of the reasons that the Euroskeptics have been citing over the years. The Euroskeptics can dump the EU leadership into the North Sea and then they'll find out that there are a lot of things they agree on and they'll have a new union up and running in a short time.

Commented on A Weird Bug Caused Twitter Users To Get Suspended For Writing 'Memphis,' And Some Took Full Advantage Of It
Marc Cohn could not be reached for comment because Twitter blocked him, put a ball gag in his mouth, wrapped him in a straitjacket, and buried him 100 feet below ground in a lead-lined concrete bunker.
