[KhaamaPress] In his upcoming biography "Spare", Prince Harry ...That guy who married Meghan Markle. You know. The ones that didn't get invited to Michelle Obama's party?... wrote that he took part in six missions in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot; the book is due for publication in the UK on January 10, 2023.
He was sent on his second mission in 2012, when he was learning to pilot an Apache chopper, to Camp Bastion in southern Afghanistan, where the Army Air Corps stayed for 20 weeks. At the time, he stated that taking the lives of adversaries was part of his work and that "we fire when it is necessary, take a life to save a life."
For the first time, he revealed that the army trained him not to regard enemies as humans, leading him to murder 25 people in Afghanistan. "murder". Nope. Culling the enemy. Pest control.
According to security experts, Harry has been a high target for holy warriors due to his military service in Afghanistan, and the fact that he has chosen to share his narrative is likely to increase those threats.
When it comes to Harry’s feelings and the number of murders he committed in Afghanistan. He wrote that it is not a number that makes him happy, but it does not make him feel embarrassed.
He claims he does not feel bad about killing people because he will never forget the 9/11 attacks in New York. He describes those responsible for the attacks and their sympathizers as "enemies of humanity" and says fighting them was an act of Dire Revenge for one of the worst crimes in human history.
Security experts say that the prince has long been viewed as a top target for Death Eaters because of his missions in Afghanistan, notably when he revealed his narrative.
Harry’s autobiography described when Afghanistan’s interim government (IEA) sought to maintain cordial links with the rest of the world and international communities.
[KhaamaPress] Colonel Richard Kemp, a former British army commander in Afghanistan, reacted against Prince Harry ...That guy who married Meghan Markle. You know. The ones that didn't get invited to Michelle Obama's party?... ’s revelation that he killed 25 Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... fighters.
He said the Spare, which is an autobiography of Prince Harry, where he admits not seeing the enemies as a human being would be seen as a "betrayal" of his former comrades.
He added that such comments would increase hatred of the armed forces and endanger his security.
Ex-commander said, according to Harry, the British Army taught him and other soldiers how to see the adversary. He also asserted that killing someone you perceive to be a human is impossible, which is nonsense.
It is wrong; it created the false impression that the British army indoctrinated or instructed its soldiers to degrade the Taliban or any other foe. They do not.
He added that they must be eliminated when necessary if they constitute a threat. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... troops are specifically instructed to treat their opponents respectfully and consider them as fellow human beings.
It is a bit of an insult to the British Army and his fellow troops who fought there for Harry to claim that is not the reality, "he continued. Although I am sure it increases book sales, it utterly misleads the public.
It’s not quite a stiff diplomatic note, but then many Talibs are illiterate.
[KhaamaPress] Prince Harry ...That guy who married Meghan Markle. You know. The ones that didn't get invited to Michelle Obama's party?... has come under fire from the Taliban ...Arabic for students... after the British prince revealed in his biography that he had murdered 25 people during his two military deployments in Afghanistan, referring to them as "chess pieces removed from the board."
The memoir, released early in Spain, recalls Harry’s two tours in Afghanistan. He claims that he killed 25 people during his time in the country and saw them as "chess pieces" to be removed from the board.
He further states that "when I was caught up in the chaos of battle, I did not think of those 25 people as a human beings".
Harry’s statement faced several condemnations by the interim government in Afghanistan, which described his action as committing "war crimes."
The senior member of the IEA, Anas Haqqani, condemned the Duke of Sussex for his comments, pointing out that the people Harry killed had families.
He tweeted that "Mr Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces; they were humans,"
"The truth is what you have said; our innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and politicians.
I do not expect that the ICC will summon you or that the human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... activist muppets will condemn your action, but hopefully, it will be remembered in the history of humanity.
In contrast, Haqqani’s statement received several reactions from the national and international media, described as contradictory remarks.

This is pretty much how a megalomaniac behaves when he discovers he's not in charge (and not going to be in charge) of anything.

Unless this guy has a severe mental dysfunction, this would be a statistic that the vast majority of military folks wouldn't share.
I overheard our family's Marine respond to a 20-something girl that asked him the "how many" question, "It's like asking you how many guys have you f*cked. You know but you don't say."
That left her in tears.

"Once more unto the tabloids, dear influencers."
Reminds me of that scene gag in Hot Shots Part Deux when they tally kills to beat the kill counts of certain action movies.

I really feel sad about Harry. He voluntarily went into combat, as an infantryman and later as a helicopter pilot. Yes, he was a little wild as a youth, but who wouldn't be if he was young, good looking, rich, and a royal?
Frankly, I don't care how many people he may have killed in combat - that was his JOB!
Then he married Meghan ...

[IsraelTimes] Service debuting feature to help combat internet restrictions.
Popular messaging service WhatsApp says it will enable users to connect to the service through proxy servers in a bid to bypass the internet restrictions of repressive regimes.
Such servers can allow users to connect to the service despite blocking measures.
"Disruptions, like we’ve seen in Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... for months on end, deny people’s human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... and cut people off from receiving urgent help," WhatsApp said in a statement. "Though in case these shutdowns continue, we hope this solution helps people wherever there is a need for secure and reliable communication."
Proxies are set up by various organizations and volunteers to help users get through restrictions.
The company provided instructions on connecting through proxies, though users will need to find servers available in their location themselves.
In recent years authoritarian regimes have often blocked or heavily restricted access to the internet during unrest or mass protests in order to prevent the spread of information and limit the ability of dissenting individuals to organize.
Iran has faced mass protests against the regime following the September death of 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini following her arrest in Tehran for an alleged breach of the country’s strict dress code for women.
The authorities restricted access to Instagram and WhatsApp — until this autumn the last remaining unfiltered social media services — and then clamped down on apps like the Google Play Store as well as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that seek to circumvent local access restrictions.
Iranians have long used VPNs to access sites blocked in Iran — even government officials including the foreign minister have Twitter accounts despite the network being blocked in the country.
Then there is the already large and growing list of Spyware app's that are link to such Authoritarian Gov.'s and Governments moving to stronger citizen monitoring using various excuses.

[IsraelTimes] In recent months, high-profile officials have quietly decamped to upscale hotels in Beirut, Doha and Istanbul, stirring resentment among residents of the impoverished Strip.
Khaled Shurrab had been waiting more than half his life to get out of Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

[IsraelTimes] City’s police chief meets Greek Orthodox Patriarch to assure him attacks on religious institutions will not be tolerated; suspects ages 14 and 18 from central Israel
Israeli police said Friday that they had arrested two teens from central Israel for the "deliberate" vandalism of a Christian cemetery in Jerusalem that resulted in damage to roughly 30 graves.
In a statement, police said they had launched an investigation after receiving the report of the destruction and discovered that "this was a deliberate act of vandalism. After several investigative acts, two suspects were arrested yesterday, aged 14 and 18, both residents of central Israel."
Police did not identify the suspects or detail their alleged motivation.
The statement said that Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman met Thursday with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, to update him on the investigation into the incident at the Protestant Mount Zion Cemetery.
"Every attack on religious sites or institutions is serious and harms the unique and fragile fabric of life that exists in the city for members of all faiths and sects," Turgeman was quoted as telling the Patriarch.
The announcement of the arrest came following international condemnation of the vandalism, including from the US.
"Concerned to see a Mt. Zion Holy Site targeted again. We spoke with the Churches, and welcome Israeli, PA, and the intl. community calls for accountability. Religious site vandalism by anyone is unacceptable. Jerusalem must be a city for all of its people," the US Office of Paleostinian Affairs wrote on its Twitter account.
The Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... ’s antisemitism envoy, Deborah Lipstadt, tweeted: "I condemn this despicable act. Desecration of any and all holy sites is unacceptable, and the sanctity of burial must be respected. Families have the right to peacefully lay to rest loved ones."
"We must work together to call out all forms of hate whenever and wherever they occur," she added.
Widely shared security camera footage on Sunday showed two young men — both wearing Jewish skullcaps and tzitzit, the knotted ritual fringes worn by observant Jews — breaking into the cemetery, knocking over stone crosses and smashing and stomping on tombstones, leaving a trail of debris and broken headstones.
Samuel Gobat, then-bishop of Jerusalem, opened the cemetery in 1848. It is now owned by the Church Missionary Trust Association Ltd, an Anglican organization.
Gobat’s grave was among those damaged along with those belonging to three British Mandate coppers.
The Foreign Ministry denounced the attack as an "immoral act" and "an affront to religion." Jerusalem’s Anglican Archbishop Hosam Naoum called it a "clear hate crime." The British consulate said it was just the latest in a string of assaults on the Christian community in the Holy City of Jerusalem.
Mount Zion, associated in Christian tradition with the site of the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, is also sacred to Jews and Moslems and has been at the center of competing religious claims throughout the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Paleostinians.
In December 2021, Christian leaders in the Holy Land warned that their communities are under threat of being driven from the region by holy warrior Israeli radical groups, and called for dialogue on preserving their presence.
Patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem issued a joint statement similarly warning of the danger posed by radical groups they said are aiming at "diminishing the Christian presence."
Extremist Jewish activist muppets have for years carried out vandalism against Christian sites in Jerusalem and other areas of Israel, including hate graffiti and arson. The Lions of Islam also target Paleostinians.
