An essential map for understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict

An extract fromThe Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict:

“In 1948, at the moment that Israel declared itself a

So you want a female character to carry a gun? Three Flashbang bra videos.
See the draw in the previous video around 4:20. In the next video, it's around 12:25.
And this one's all about the draw:
I'm sure bra holsters fall under Rule 34, but you'll have to do your own googling, because that's not my kink. I like a woman with a gun on her hip.

You Say “Flawed”, He Says “Sexy”: What Men Really Think About Your Body | MyTinySecrets
It isn't about all men. But it's about the fundamentally good ones, which is to say, it's about 90-95% of us.
Shared partly to assure women who may be worrying too much, but also to remind feminist theorists that the male gaze is not as simple as you may think. My suspicion, after all these years of being

socialist Bible verses: on Proverbs 13:22 and the wealth of the sinner
The always-interesting Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig cited Augustine citing Proverbs 13:22 inPatristics, Property, Modernity. Here's the King James Version:
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
And here's the New International:

What do I think of the new black Captain America and the female Thor?
Hell, yeah!
But people shouldn't get too excited. It's comic books. The originals can and almost certainly will return. It all depends on how well they sell.
This fanboy wants the Falcon to keep his wings when he becomes Captain America. Shield and wings? Why not? If Hawkwoman can do it, Captain Falcon can do it.

The Democratic Party and economic privilege vs identity privilege
At Facebook, John Halle posted:
Neoliberalism wins again:
"The Pew survey points up the emergence of a cohort of younger voters who are loyal to the Democratic Party, but much less focused on economic redistribution than on issues of personal and sexual autonomy."
and so does the plutocracy
"Corporate America faces a divided Democratic Party, vulnerable to the kind of lobbying pressures
