GAZA — A dentist stood at the bed of a doctor, his good friend Ehab Madhoun, 32, who had just died, his shrapnel-pitted body wrapped in a white shroud.
The day before, Dr. Madhoun, a general practitioner, was in an ambulance responding to an Israeli strike at the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza. Another...

Proportionality:
I watch every time these things flare up and all I really see is Israeli Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets and M1 tanks bringing down the wrath of the heavens against kids with slingshots. All I see is the end numbers from days of violence, extremely tilted. It’s a butcher’s bill. It’s 600 to 6, (hyperbole), on the scoreboard, guys. If that’s how you...

[Ed. Note: The lack of regard for collateral damage only emboldens Hamas. As they see Palestinian youth die, Israel only becomes more evil to them; becomes a means for them to justify their own appalling acts and thus the cycle never ends. Someone must say: “this is enough.” But no one ever will.]

3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late

Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were “well rested” actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10...
