"Lots of discussion at the sexual revolution debate about whether the revolution failed men, or failed women, or helped men more than women, or helped women more than men.

Hamas has killed 900 Israelis.  Why?  Because for decades Israel has gone unbearably soft on this menace.  It should finally say "no more, no matter what."  It should finally win.

 

"Though we bristle when we read of European colonists calling native people savages, and justly fault them for their hypocrisy and racism, it’s not as if they were making the atrocities up. Many eyewitnesses have brought back tales of horrific violence in tribal warfare. Helena Valero, a woman who had been abducted by the Yanomamö in the Venezuelan rain forest in the 1930s, recounted one of their raids:

 

Meanwhile from all sides the women continued to arrive with their children, whom the other Karawetari had captured. … Then the men began to kill the children; little ones, bigger ones, they killed many of them. They tried to run away, but they caught them, and threw them on the ground, and stuck them with bows, which went through their bodies and rooted them to the ground. Taking the smallest by the feet, they beat them against the trees and rocks. … All the women wept."  -Steven Pinker
