Organ harvesting. They have a huge skin bank and have a long history of ripping the organs out of Palestinians. Sometimes while still alive. :smith:

Apologies if this is potato posting, but I've just been thinking about the cycle of declaring armed resistance as terrorists/freedom fighters/an actual army depending on whether the state they represent has international recognition, as it applies to my own family.

My grandfather (born 1898) fought in the Irish War of Independence. The British government of the time would have categorised him as a terrorist. He was reportedly a very good shot - accurate at 5 miles using iron sights. He presumably killed a good few British soldiers and British police officers in Ireland.
He also fought in the Irish Civil War, post Irish-independence, and was a highly regarded officer in the Irish Army up until the 1950s, when he retired.
Over the course of his life, he went from 'terrorist/rebel' to senior officer in the state army without any actual change in his primary perspective, which was the fight for Irish Statehood.

Ireland got Independence, so he got to switch from 'rebel/terrorist' to recognised soldier, but if Independence hadn't happened, he probably still be on the books as a criminal.
So as far as I can see, the only way a terrorist becomes a freedom fighter, and then a legitimate soldier, is to win the goddamn fight.

I only knew him as a very old man who liked to take me and my brother on walks and taught us to play chess and read books about prehistoric earth.
He was very kind :3:

the best part about old people lying is that they were fully aware of what they were doing and probably thought it was funny, so it's basically like they told a joke that took like 30 years for the punchline to land

It's because you guys got accepted as white. The Taliban is still considered terrorists.

A new photo just popped up on my Twitter. And my heart just fell out of my rear end.

30-40 Palestinian men, naked, blindfolded, with their arms and legs bound. There are clear signs of torture, with significant bruises/ burns on them. While Israeli soldiers just aimlessly stand about.

I will never forget how they humiliated our grown men.

I need the Houthis to step it up and crash that ship into Israel at full throttle.

If it's the pic I'm thinking of then these are Palestinian day laborers rounded up and tortured. I know a few of them have been released and talked about the humiliation and torture done by Israeli soldiers.

The 'reportedly' wasn't him telling us kids poo poo, it was contemporary news reports from the 1920s.
Why would a grandpa be telling tiny kids about violent poo poo they'd done 70 years earlier?
I don't want to get too detailed, but the man has a Wikipedia page detailing his actions at the time.

We've literally had the former Irish Minister for Justice call us on the phone to get info on what Grandad was up to.

We didn't tell him poo poo.
