The US military’s Central Command (Centcom) said the “complex attack” launched by the Houthis included bomb-carrying drones, anti-ship cruise missiles and one anti-ship ballistic missile.

It said 18 drones, two cruise missiles and the anti-ship missile were downed by F-18s from the USS Eisenhower, as well as by American Arleigh Burke-class destroyers the USS Gravely, the USS Laboon and the USS Mason, as well as the UK’s HMS Diamond.

"High Court says Ben Gvir [is] violating ruling not to interfere with policing protests"

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/high-court-says-ben-gvir-violating-ruling-not-to-interfere-with-policing-protests/

quote:

The High Court of Justice issues an interim injunction barring National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir from giving operational orders to police forces regarding how they manage demonstrations and the use of force during protests.

The court ruled in March that the far-right minister was not allowed to issue such orders and today finds that Ben Gvir has violated the ruling.

An appeal was filed by human rights groups after Ben Gvir recently tried to block an anti-war protest in Tel Aviv.

The court ruled that Ben Gvir “must refrain from giving operational instructions and instructions to the police regarding the implementation of his policy regarding the exercise of the right to demonstration and freedom of protest.”

The ultranationalist minister has been accused in the past of trying to repress mass protests against the government — particularly its judicial overhaul plans — by ordering the police to use tougher methods of crowd dispersal.

I had the uncomfortable experience of bursting out laughing when I saw this book reviewed in a journal just now, because it describes in handwringing terms, more or less what Israel is doing now as a unique historical evil.

The Mediterranean Diaspora in Late Antiquity: What Christianity Cost the Jews

The alliance of the Roman Empire with the emerging orthodox Christian church in the early fourth century had profound consequences for the large population of Greek- (and Latin-)speaking Jews living across the Mediterranean diaspora. No known writings survive from diaspora Jews. Their experiences must be gleaned from unreliable accounts of Christian bishops and historiographers, surviving laws, and limited material evidence—synagogue sites, inscriptions, a few papyrus documents. Long neglected by historians, the diaspora population, together with its distinctive cultural forms, appears in decline by the early seventh century. This book explores why. In part, diaspora Jews suffered from disasters that affected the whole late antique Mediterranean population—continuing warfare, earthquakes, and plague. But, like all other non-orthodox Christians, Jews were subject to extensive pressures to become orthodox Christian, which increased over time. Late Roman laws, sometimes drafted by Christian lobbyists, imposed legal disabilities on Jews that were relieved if they became Christians. Fueled by malicious sermons of Christian bishops, Christian mobs attacked synagogues and sometimes Jews themselves. Significantly, Jews retained many of their earlier legal rights while other non-orthodox Christians lost theirs. In response, some Jews became Christians, voluntarily or under duress. Some probably emigrated to escape orthodox Christian pressures. Some leveraged political and social networks to their advantage. Some violently resisted their Christian antagonists. Jews may occasionally have entertained the possibility of divine messianic intervention or embraced forms of Jewish practice that constructed tighter social boundaries around them—an increased use of Hebrew, and heightened interest, perhaps, in rabbinic practices.

I haven't been to the site and probably don't care to, but I know they were trying to paint shooting female soldiers in the upper torso and pelvic girdle (IE near center mass, the place you aim during a firefight) "sexual violence."
