Imagine if Muslim women gave as good as they got
From the age of emancipation I have been all “Independent Woman”, just like Beyoncé – I buy my own diamonds and my own rings. And just like Beyoncé (though sans the need for marriage-identification as Mrs. Carter and the seriously misguided Isabel Marant wedge sneakers), I take it upon myself to create my own wealth, if for no reason other than never, ever wanting to have to call my younger brother and say, “Hey, I need some of that cash mom and dad left you swimming in. You know, the cash you’re the custodian of just in case I ever needed to become your ward?”

The IDF is monitoring what Israeli citizens say on Facebook
Several years ago, a group of uniformed Israeli military officers walked into a conference room of an Israeli company that tracks and monitors discussions on the Internet for commercial purposes. The company looks at what social media users are saying about a certain brand or what they think about new products, and more.
A former employee of the company, who spoke to +972′s Hebrew sister-site, Local Call, describes how the military officers didn’t really care about those things. They got right to the point: “We need you to use your systems to monitor trigger words,” they said.
