Women at risk of DYING earlier if they don’t have enough sex
women aged 20 to 59 who had sex less than once a week had a 70 per cent higher risk of dying within five years compared to those who had sex more than once a week.
The women having less sex were found to have elevated levels of a protein linked to inflammation, which can cause damage to healthy cells, tissues and organs.
The study authors from Walden University in Pennsylvania believe that sex contributes to good heart health, "possibly by reducing heart rate variability and increasing blood flow".
They concluded that "there are benefits for women to having sex more than once a week" or around four times per month.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The UN’s highest court issued an advisory opinion on 19 July which said that Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, “is unlawful”. It was responding to a request by the UN General Assembly for an advisory opinion on the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
“The advisory opinion reaffirms peremptory norms prohibiting annexation, settlements, racial segregation and apartheid, and should be seen as declaratory in nature and binding on Israel and all States supporting the occupation,” the experts said.
Furthermore, the Court refuted the notion that Palestinian self-determination must be achieved solely through bilateral negotiations with Israel, they added, noting that this requirement has subjected Palestinians to violence, dispossession and rights violations for 30 years.
“The Court has finally reaffirmed a principle that seemed unclear, even to the United Nations: Freedom from foreign military occupation, racial segregation and apartheid is absolutely non-negotiable,” the experts said.
They also welcomed the Court’s recognition that converting occupation into annexation by demolishing homes, denying housing permits, and land grabs, violates preemptory norms prohibiting the use of force to annex occupied territory.
“May this historic ruling begin the realisation of the Palestinian people’s fundamental right to self-determination, and peace premised on freedom for all,” they said.
I have this nagging suspicion that israel will not listen and continue with being criminal state.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Netanyahu will continue this war as long as possible, because once it's over he will face a no-confidence vote and lose power.
He is quite literally seeing that people are killed so that he may remain in office.

And, once he loses power, he will go to jail.... you can see his incentive to stop the war, right?
