    What’s a healthy amount of sleep? It differs from one country to another

    Your optimal amount of sleep may depend on where you live, new University of British Columbia research has found.

    Israel is creating a power vacuum in Gaza by backing armed looters — and killing anyone who tries to stop them – Mondoweiss

The intended effect, in Israel’s eyes, is either total social collapse, the spread of criminality, or the emergence of an alternative “clan”-based leadership in Gaza instead of Hamas.
