Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It sucks they did that, the Moro resistance is badass though. Their suicide attackers are partly where some of the .45 stopping power mythology comes from.
From the wiki
At the moment of attack, the mag-sabil in Tausug would approach a large group of enemies, shout the tahlil, draw kris or barong and then rush into the group swinging his sword, killing and maiming as many victims as possible in the time he had left. The mag-sabil's body would be washed and again wrapped in white for burial. In the unlikely event the mag-sabil survived his attack, it was believed his body would ascend to Paradise after 40 years had passed.[9]
yeah its pretty wild to reduce an entire anticolonial resistance movement to 'the good and noble west stopping the savage foreign hordes from enslaving cute blonde european women and children'
pretty ingenious to kind of pre-tourniquet for a suicide attack tbh, i wonder if modern suicide attackers do anything similar, and also if any kind of drugs were involved or what kinds of mental preparation were undertaken. i can't imagine the cord wrapping being too comfortable in a normal mental state or sustainable with normal blood pressure and heart rate unless its more like compression wear than tourniquet. i've heard of modern soldiers and/or criminals wearing loose tourniquets on their limbs preemptively but not pre tightened ones.
It may be a bit disrespectful, but the fact they wrapped the dick and balls too is funny.
Tourniquet meets shibari.
I don’t recall reading anything about attacks using it in modern times. It’s usually a vest or vehicle.
Your point about wearing loose tourniquets means some Hamas fighters are probably aware of the wisdom of doing that. A bit of a parallel maybe?
