| Israeli Leader: The World Is Telling Hamas That 'The Path of Terror Is Worth It' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| "I go to sleep a dead man." That's the only way Liri Albag's father can describe what it's like to know his daughter is a hostage in Gaza. He holds up a picture of his beautiful girl before captivity - and another, the unrecognizable face of his 18-year-old looking dirty, dazed, and disheveled. Somewhere, deep underground, she waits for help that has not come. "I want to show to the world," a pained Eli tells reporters. "This is the same girl - it is not different girls," he pleads. It's the face of a girl who's seen unspeakable horrors. Horrors that will not stop if Israel does. |

| Virginity and the Consequences of Consequence-Free Sex |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood's obsessive focus on "sexual education" is a testament to the kinship between the Sexual Revolution's perversions and the slaughter of the unborn, and the corrupt corporation's latest "lesson" is an egregious example of the Sexual Revolution's hatred of the reality of nature. In a recent video available online, a Planned Parenthood "sex educator" explained that there is actually no such thing as virginity. According to Planned Parenthood, "virginity is a completely made-up concept" and "a term that was created simply to control and shame people, mainly women." |
