Reply to comment by Uh_I_Say in Twitter under fire for censoring Palestinian public figures by 8Splendiferous8

>Al Jazeera’s youth channel AJ+ Arabic has drawn widespread condemnation over a video that was branded “Holocaust denial” for claiming the Jews exaggerated the scale of the genocide to help establish Israel.

Happened in 2019. Not the first incident either, but this is the most recent big one.

There are two branches of al jazeera, the western one which is decent though biased towards the views of its parent organization, and the middle east one which is literally filled with fundamentalist psychos wishing death on Jews.

Edit: seems I upset the nazis

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Isla Bryson: Transgender rapist jailed for eight years by PEVEI

A lot of women are raped in prison, by other cis women. Men who rape men are still put in prison with other men, who they absolutely will rape because society seems to see that as acceptable punishment for prisoners.

But it is telling how many of you fixate on the trans aspect. Rapists often get slaps on the wrist, in the US, the UK, and plenty of other places.

> I want my family and friends who have drug problems to get medical help and social support not to get arrested, traumatized, and set back even further back in life by jail.

As someone who has lived with a methhead family member, sometimes jail is the only way they're going to get clean for any amount of time. Didn't matter how many times we supported them and took them to rehab. At their core, they did not want to get better.

> The kid was, by the police's own admission, totally fucking fine and being taken care of and there were other adults in the house.

Speaking from experience, it's fine until one day it's not, they flip shit, and try to kill everyone in the house. I still remember my uncle's face, as he smashed in the passenger window of the pickup truck, trying to pull me out of it while my grandma was driving us away.

Reply to Sale of late Egyptian President Sadat's passport in Texas sparks outrage among family by Neo2199

Seems like a private document that shouldn’t be allowed to be sold unless the seller can establish Sadat gave it to someone and said it was okay to sell it.

I get that’s he is (was) a public figure but that’s still a private document. I’d feel the same way about a birth certificate or medical records or an old driver’s license or whatever.

Seems like the only way it could come into someone other than the family’s possession is through nefarious means or accidental loss.
