Most Brutal And Horrific Form Of Execution In The Acient History. - Education

Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it. Horrific as this sounds I imagine it w...

lsraeli Shin Bet officers lead away a Palestinian terrorist after he hijacked an lsraeli bus. The Palestinian would be executed by the Shin Bet in a field shortly after this photo was taken

 lsraeli Shin Bet officers lead away a Palestinian terrorist after he hijacked an lsraeli bus. The Palestinian would be executed by the Shin Bet in a field shortly after this photo was taken





The Bus 300 incident: On the 13th of April 1984, 4 Palestinian terrorists hijacked an Israeli bus carrying 41 people.


The militants, who were unaffiliated with any group, were armed with knives as well as a grenade and fake bomb. Israeli police were quickly made aware of the incident by an escaped passenger. It stopped in the


Gaza Strip and was rapidly surrounded by IDF SOF, lsraeli Police and Shin Bet.


 The Palestinians demanded 500


prisoners released from Israeli prisons for the safe return of the lsraeli hostages. The decision was made to storm the bus, which was conducted by the Sareyet Matkal. During the assault two terrorists were killed, alongside 1 lsraeli hostage. The


other two terrorists were captured.


There was significant lsraeli media presence at the scene. The order to execute the two remaining Palestinians was given by Avraham Shalom, the head of Shin Bet.


This was part of a semi-official policy in the organisation to kill terrorists to disincentivise the taking of Jewish hostages for prisoner exchanges. The two Palestinians were beaten to death by Shin Bet officers with rocks and iron bars. The lsraeli military initially claimed no terrorists survived


the initial assault, up until this photo was published. Media publications of the extrajudicial killings led to multiple inquiries, however the first one had allies of Shalom on the board. A trial for murder against multiple Sarayet Matkal members led to their acquittal. Shalom had attempted to frame IDF personnel for the killings, to remove blame from his organisation.


Criminal investigations were launched into senior Shin Bet officials for covering up the murders, however they


did not lead anywhere. The lsraeli Attorney General was forced to resign due to his investigations, as he was


accused of impeding national security. It is a fair to say there was a concerted effort to cover up the murders by


Shin Bet.


lsraeli President Chaim Herzog issued a pardon to Shalom and four other Shin Bet officers implicated in the


murders. The lsraeli Supreme Court upheld the pardons after an initial challenge. The scandal damaged Shin


Bet's reputation in the Israeli public opinion, and would go onto expose Shin Bet use of torture leading to the


establishment of the Landau Commission. Avraham Shalom resigned as a result of public outrage to the murders.


The men were tWo of at least 69 names that would later feature on an internal lsraeli document called the 'skull dossier. The 'skull dossier' was an incomplete list of terrorists,accused terrorists and some innocent people who had been extrajudicially executed by the Shin Bet in lsrael, Gaza, West Bank and Southern Lebanon in the few years leading up to this event.

True story of teen girl praised as a 'one woman army' for killing over 100 Nazis with clever technique

Zinaida Portnova, known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age. She was captured by the Gestapo and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed 2 more Nazis. The teenager managed to execute three Nazis, even after she had been captured Zinaida Portnova's story is one of particular significance, with some nowadays labelling her as a 'one woman army'. Born in Leningrad, Russia, in February 1926 - Portnova had quite the life, even though it was cut pretty short. She was a seventh-grade student at the 385th school in the Russian city in 1941, when she left for her grandmother's house in the Vitebsk region. Nazi Germany invaded the shortly after that, and an incident with Nazi troops led to Portnova despising them. German soldiers hit her grandmother while they were confiscating the cattle, leading to the girl (quite understandably) havin...

Woman in Iran before the Islamic Revolution

The Islamic Revolution of 1979 brought seismic changes to Iran, not least for women. One area that has come under scrutiny is the way women dress and wear their hair - the old Shah, in the 1930s, banned the veil and ordered police to forcibly remove headscarves. But in the early 1980s, the new Islamic authorities imposed a mandatory dress code that required all women to wear the hijab. Here are some images showing what life was like for Iranian women before the institution of clerical rule, and how it has changed since. IMAGE SOURCE,A. ABBAS / MAGNUM PHOTOS Studying at Tehran University in 1977: While many women were already in higher education at the time of the revolution, the subsequent years saw a marked increase in the number attending university. This was in part because the authorities managed to convince conservative families living in rural areas to allow their daughters to study away from home. "They tried to stop women from attending university, but there was such a bac...
