The APA defines traditional masculinity as “a particular constellation of standards that have held sway over large segments of the population, including: anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence.” The guidelines, which were highlighted in the January issue of the APA's Monitor on Psychology magazine, say the pressure boys and men feel to conform to certain aspects of traditional masculinity can lead to poor health outcomes, including higher rates of suicide, substance abuse, violence and early death.-more

Despite a public campaign by anti-Israel activists to end an American exchange program between with Israel police, two major police associations in Georgia have issued statements reaffirming their support for the program, according to a report by Miriam Elman at Legal Insurrection.The Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) brings senior law-enforcement officials and security officials from Israel and other countries together to learn about the fight against terrorist activities and bombings, and brings international delegations to Georgia to study American policing practices at Georgia State University.Many graduates of the program responded that they had become better police officers as a result of the experience, yet anti-Israel activists have attempted to thwart the program due to its coordination with Israel.In 2010, the GSU Progressive Student Alliance and the Movement to End Israeli Apartheid-Georgia partnered to protest the partnership, saying Georgia officers would learn from Israeli “extrajudicial killings, racial profiling of Arabs, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees.”The BDS-supporting organization Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), began calling the international exchanges between American police officers and Israeli colleagues a “deadly exchange,” and launched a campaign in 2017 against what they term “discriminatory and repressive policing” by both American and Israeli police.The Anti-Defamation League said, according to the Legal Insurrection report, JVP’s “deadly exchange” campaign “veers uncomfortably close to age-old anti-Semitic canards about Jews using their influence to undermine the societies of the countries in which they live.”However, the anti-Israel campaign has already resulted in the Durham City Council in North Carolina banning exchanges with Israel. The Vermont State Police and police in Northampton, Mass., similarly withdrew from from an ADL seminar last year in Israel.-more

According to Adam Milstein: Are We Going to Allow the Jewish People to Be Divided and Conquered From Within?The year 2018 has provided a series of reminders that antisemitism, the world’s oldest hatred, is alive and well in our country. On October 27, eleven Jews were massacred in Pittsburgh as they prayed on the Sabbath. It is just the latest in a series of violent attacks that have targeted the Jewish community in recent times, which come not only from the radical right but also from the radical left, and from radical Muslims.The enemies of the Jewish people don’t only physically attack us from the outside. They have also long worked to divide the Jewish people by turning our own against us. For example, a number of Jewish individuals and organizations have become leaders within the BDS movement, which seeks to destroy the Jewish state.Jewish self-hatred did not begin with the BDS movement. Isaiah 49:17 says, “Your destroyers and devastators will depart from you.” History is replete with examples of Jews who hated the Jewish people so vehemently that they dedicated their entire lives to its destruction.Take the new Jewish group IfNotNow, which together with their collaborators Jewish Voice for Peace set its sights on demonizing Birthright Israel – an organization that has helped over 600,000 young Jews from 67 countries connect with their Jewish heritage and with the State of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people.Last summer, IfNotNow launched a campaign to harass Birthright participants at JFK and Heathrow airports, and planted saboteurs to infiltrate and disrupt Birthright trips, using these stunts to secure slanted media that demonizes Birthright and its Jewish supporters. In doing so, they sought to erode support for a program that made a transformative impact for hundreds of thousands of young Jews – and to discourage participants from accepting this tremendous life-changing gift.-more For info on how to make a donation to support us please click on https://mrdrybones.com/donate.html

I started Dry Bones in Jan 1973. Since then I've been known as "Bones" to friends and colleagues. This is the first time I've ever shared the "stories behind the cartoons." Enjoy.
