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?

Yes. It's not really surprising for a Sunni Muslim terrorist to have Islamist terrorist reading materials is it?

Why are you assuming any Hamas person had any of these documents on them? I'm putting money on Herzog pushing some complete made up bullshit. Which fits with past evidence of really obvious made up bullshit Israel has pushed at the UN.

It seems plausible. The propaganda is that these were step by step instructions, which they weren't, so there was no plan for a chemical weapons attack.

The facts as they are are bad enough, they don't need to embellish like this.

This somehow feels like the scene in "You don't mess with the Zohan" where Rob Schneider buys Neosporin and throws it at a window expecting it to explode. You know middle east peace is impossible when such brilliance as Adam Sandler can't even crack that nut. Kinda unrelated but worth mentioning, Rob Schneider sure turned out to be a piece of shit.
