| Today's Google Doodle celebrates the man behind the Pride rainbow flag Posted: 03 Jun 2017 12:43 PM PDT  June is LGBTQ Pride Month and social networks and sites of all kinds are releasing special emojis and graphics in celebration. On Friday, Google used its latest Doodle to honor American artist and LGBTQ rights activist Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag that has become a symbol of pride for LGBTQ individuals worldwide. Baker, who died last year at 65, would have turned 66 today. Image: GoogleAccording to TIME, Baker left the military after traveling from Kansas to San Francisco with the U.S. Army. After leaving the military, he taught himself to sew and would often volunteer to make protest banners for the city's LGBTQ community. SEE ALSO: Instagram releases fierce rainbow stickers to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month In 1978, gay leader Harvey Milk asked Baker to create an icon that would symbolize both activists and the community alike. At the time, the only symbol of the LGBTQ community was the pink triangle, which was the way gay prisoners were identified in Nazi concentration camps. Baker wanted to create something more celebratory and positive to represent the growing LGBTQ movement. The first flag, which included eight different colored stripes each with their own meaning, was put together by volunteers in the attic of the Gay Community Center, reports TIME. After Milk's assassination, the number of stripes was reduced to six due to the limited availability of fabric in the wake of the flag's new popularity. Happy Pride, everyone!

| Billions spent on settlers since Israel captured West Bank Posted: 03 Jun 2017 11:52 AM PDT  Successive Israeli governments have invested billions of dollars over the past 50 years on settlements in the occupied West Bank, making any withdrawal from the Palestinian territory a costly proposition. There is no official overall figure for Israel's spending on Jewish settlements since the June 1967 Six-Day War. It also does not cover the vast amounts spent on infrastructure such as special roads reserved for settlers and on their security.
