In an article published by Anadolu Agency, Abu Amro is quoted as saying that the viral comparisons between Hassona’s image and Delacroix’s masterpiece inspired him to continue taking part in the protests. His sheer determination and belief in his cause, so evident in Hassona’s picture, are confirmed by something else he told the agency: “Even if I become a target for Israeli bullets, this flag will remain in my hand.”
Abu Amro was deliberated singled out by Israeli forces and shot in the leg after this image went viral.
What a fucking badass. Palestinians throw rocks and Israel responds with tanks. Fuck the apartheid state of Israel and freedom for Palestine

Palestinians throw rocks
tbf Palestinians and their Arab allies went to war with Israel several times and they also shoot rockets indiscriminately towards Israeli cities
When in the past 30 years have they "went to war with" Israel? Lebanon being invaded?
Some said that the image glorified violence
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.
By the way, slinging is fucking based and absolutely overpowered. It's crazy to me not more people utilize this in minecraft. I once made one for fun out of some paracord and ripped a fucking hole in my curtains when slinging a hacky sack.
Make 'em
It's just two bits of string or leather thing plus two bits of belt for the pouch.
can it be deconstructed so that authorities don't recognize it as a weapon?
Yes, easily. It's a piece of cord plus basically any pouch/strap
the first time I saw this, I briefly thought it was a long riding crop, which would sort of be based in its own way.
That's a long-ass sling. I would not trust myself to control the trajectory of that thing.
The longer the sling the faster the projectile so by the looks of it that’s an anti-tank sling
Just hope it ends up embedded in a tank, and not a comrade's skull.
In seriousness, I have essentially zero experience slinging. I'm sure this guy knows what he's doing.
Your ancestors were famous for it, which is why there's no archers in the myths.
