Nelson Mandela Was In USA's Terror Watchlist Until 2018. The Guy Who Fought Against Apartheid State Of

If you have a team, let only one suffer;

have the team captured and let the whumper or villain chosen only a single person to suffer for everyone

let the chosen whumpee have to beg for something as basic as water and food for the group

have them kneel and humiliate themselves in front of the team to slowly start breaking their pride and ego (especially if it's the team leader or a super strong whumpee who's very proud and confident in themselves)

have them lick the whumper/ villains boots, kiss their hand, act like an animal or let them get whipped or hurt for those basic things but which are necessary for the groups survival

bonus if when the desired goods arrive and are given, the chosen whimper gets nothing and has to starve and be thirsty for the groups survival and well being

...

let only one be taken away for questioning or to be tortured

have the team watch how the chosen whumpee is whipped, beaten, hurt in unimaginable painful ways, have them watch them starve and be slowly broken

let the team be eaten alive by guilt as they watch the once so confident whumpee get broken down methodically

have the team beg and cry when after another session the limo body of the whumpee get thrown carelessly back into the cell, have them beg to be replaced by another

it's cruel physical torture for the chosen one and psychological torture for the helpless rest who can't do anything but watch

meep.

Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.

"you know you are only supposed to have 1 apprentice maybe 2 not 15." said the wizard council member "well until people stop leaving surprisingly powerful orphans at my doorstep I'll be taking care of my 17 apprentices." The council member snapped their wand "WHERE DID YOU GET 3 MORE!"

"a fatherless son with a brother of death,

a mother of night and with which comes rest,

heroes lay weapons for lack of souls to reap,

for here lies the tomb of eternal sleep.”

"At least it's saying to lay down our weapons," Leo offered optimistically. "So we're still fighting off the sleep..." he yawned—twice. "The sleep magic...which is good because I...I don't have any weapons training anyways..."

"Great," Nico supplied sarcastically. "I look forward to dying next to the worst morning person I've ever met."

"I usually save my dying in a dark, creepy temple for the third date!" Leo called without thinking, but Nico was already marching forward without a moment more of hesitation, disappearing into the darkness.
