Now orthodox Israeli -just for laughs- are making fake videos copying the viral tiktoks of the IOF kidnapping Palestinian fathers and sons and stripping then naked and torturing them. Note that the videos were shared by the soldiers themselves and were horrifying and ugly. You would think that people who survived the holocaust and historical racism and antisemitism would never want to display the same evil, dehumanization and hatred to others, yet these people are celebrating. Remember when people used to bring kids to the picnic/ lynchings?
Now before somebody comes and says how is this helpful? Ask the people who shot this video and were shameless enough to post it as a trend. After seeing the horrific original video that tiktok allowed Israelis to share and celebrate.
Siegfried Farnon is based on eccentric vet Donald Sinclair, who Peter Wright worked closely with in his early career.
"You know, Donald died unexpectedly. And that morning, I remember the phone going, Jim Wight rang me to say Donald's died. Jim said, 'It's going to be a duller world without Donald Sinclair.' By gosh, it was. It has been."

episode 3342982 of me going wtf was hamilton's life
Did y'all know that someone broke into Hamilton's dorm room and stole his books and pamphlets, likely because they were Loyalist and wanted him to shut up? They took a bunch of papers that patriot Alexander McDougall had supplied, presumably to aid Ham with the anti-British arguments he was publishing.
I swear there was something in the amrev air because everyone was batshit crazy. Who's the guy who climbed through a window, broke open a case, just to take a bunch of reading material from Hamilton and dip? Can you imagine being a stressed college student coming back to your dorm after a long day only to realize that some little shit had gone to the trouble of breaking and entering just to take books and papers you needed? I would've had a breakdown.
It is with the utmost chagrin I am obliged to inform you, that I am not able to return you all your pamph[l]ets; and what is still worse the most valuable of them is missing. I beg you will not impute it to carelessness; for I assure you upon my honor the true state of the case is this—I put your pamphlets in the case with my other books; and some person about the College got into my room through the window, broke open my case, & took out The friendly address, Bankrofts treatise, Two volumes of natural philosophy and a latin author.
Letter to Alexander McDougall
Also hilarious how Alexander clarifies in his letter "This is not my fault and it wasn't because I was careless, I swear I swear". The letter's dated between 1774-1776 but maybe his habit of losing things was already established.
