Aquilo é uma gente mesmo mázinha...

Fiquei a saber pela SIC que em Israel existem vários centros de acolhimento para mulheres árabes ameaçadas de morte pelas suas próprias famílias, nomeadamente pais e irmãos (!).

Os Judeus, em geral, e os Israelitas, em particular, são uma gente mesmo mázinha: o que eles são capazes de fazer só para impedir aqueles bons muçulmanos de prosseguirem os preceitos da sua fé.
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
