  Israel’s Wars: The History and...

  On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate officially expired. That same day, the Jewish National Council issued the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. About 10 minutes later, President Truman officially recognized the State of Israel, and the Soviet Union also quickly recognized Israel. However, the Palestinians and the Arab League did not recognize the new state, and the very next day, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded the former British Mandate to squelch Israel, while Saudi Arabia assisted the Arab armies. Jordan would also get involved in the war, fighting the Israelis around Jerusalem. The eventual armistice lines became known as the “Green Line,” and the conflict has continued to involve those lines and the issues that were contested in a war now nearly 70 years old. 
  In early June 1967, the Israelis captured Jordanian intelligence that indicated an invasion was imminent and thus launched preemptive strikes. Over the next six days, the Israelis overwhelmed the Egyptians in the west, destroying thousands of tanks and capturing the Gaza Strip and the entire Sinai Peninsula. At the same time, Israel drove the Jordanians out of Jerusalem and the West Bank, and it captured the Golan Heights from Syria near the border of Lebanon. In the span of a week, Israel had tripled the size of the lands it controlled. Israel had gone from less than 10 miles wide in some spots to over 200 miles wide from the Sinai Peninsula to the West Bank. Israel also unified Jerusalem. 
  On October 6, 1973, Syria and Egypt caught Israel off guard during the Jewish holy holiday of Yom Kippur, surprise attacking the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. The Israelis turned the tide within a week, going on the counteroffensive and winning the war within 3 weeks.

  Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
  The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
  parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
  heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
  comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
  This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
  العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
  "A good reason is found in a good body" 
  in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
  only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
  sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
  where something cannot be 
  a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
  point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
  point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
  of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
  then it becomes; 
  الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
  According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
  various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
  thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
  suitability of a life path that is carried out.

  The New Female Antihero - The...

  The New Female Antihero examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television. 
    
  The last ten years have seen a shift in television storytelling toward increasingly complex storylines and characters. In this study, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman zoom in on a key figure in this transformation: the archetype of the female antihero. Far from the sunny, sincere, plucky persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often selfish and deeply unlikeable. 
    
  In this entertaining and insightful study, Hagelin and Silverman explore the meanings of this profound change in the role of women characters. In the dramas of the new millennium, they show, the female antihero is ambitious, conniving, even murderous; in comedies, she is self-centered, self-sabotaging, and anti-aspirational. Across genres, these female protagonists eschew the part of good girl or role model. In their rejection of social responsibility, female antiheroes thus represent a more profound threat to the status quo than do their male counterparts. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. They push back against the myth of the modern-day super-woman—she who “has it all”—and in so doing, they give us new ways of imagining women’s lives in contemporary America.
