UN chief: Gaza death toll suggests Israel’s tactics are ‘clearly wrong’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

U.N Secretary-General António Guterres on Wednesday said the death toll in Gaza amid Israel’s war with Hamas demonstrates something is wrong with Israel’s military operations.“There are violations by Hamas when they have human shields. But when one looks at the number of civilians that were killed with the military operations, there is something that is clearly wrong,” he said at the Reuters NEXT conference.Guterres made those remarks as Israel continues to attack Gaza by air, expand its ground operation and impose a complete siege on 2.2 million people in Gaza, ignoring international calls for a cease-fire and pauses in the war.More than 10,000 people, including thousands of children, have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory operation, now in its second month, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people and taking hundreds of hostages, according to Israeli officials. He added: “...

‘They are monsters’: Israel foreign minister rails against Hamas during MEP audience

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

BRUSSELS — Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told MEPs that Hamas militants who killed 1,400 Israelis and took more than 200 people hostage on October 7 are worse than animals. “If you will see the movies you will not call the Hamas animals, it’s a compliment to call them animals; they are monsters,” the Israeli minister said before screening a two-minute video of the atrocities that brought some in the European Parliament to tears, at an event organized by the Israeli mission to the EU and hosted by Spanish European People’s Party lawmaker Antonio López-Istúriz.The conference — an effort by Israel to remind politicians and journalists of the October 7 attacks and the continued suffering of the hostages — came as global attention shifts to the desperate humanitarian situation in Gaza. The Israeli embassy also screened a 46-minute movie of footage recorded by Hamas to journalists in Brussels Monday.In response to last month’s attacks, Israel launched a war aga...

Stars of David tags in Paris linked to pro-Russia interference: reports

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

The Stars of David found painted in several locations in Paris last week are likely part of a destabilization operation tied to a pro-Russia businessman.Four people — including a Moldovan couple arrested last week — are suspected of painting more than 250 blue Stars of David across the French capital, likely to sow unrest in France amid a surge of antisemitic acts since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau on Tuesday said a judge had been appointed to lead an investigation into the tags, adding it “could not be excluded that the tagging … was carried out at the explicit request of someone living abroad.”An investigation by Le Monde showed that news of the tagging was amplified via social media accounts affiliated with Doppelgänger — a wide-ranging online operation associated with Russian disinformation campaigns. “Phone searches suggest that both pairs of authors were in relation to the same third person,” the prosecutor said in a written statement share...

Patriots offense still searching for answers after summer’s early optimism

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

FOXBORO — There were warning signs this summer that the Patriots offense wasn’t suddenly going to turn from inept into a juggernaut.But it was also easy to ignore them — the early-summer red-zone struggles, quarterback Mac Jones’ inability to hit a receiver deep in stride, JuJu Smith-Schuster’s quiet camp, persistent pressure from a battered and constantly shifting offensive line — with the sheer amount of optimism emanating from Patriots players with a seemingly competent offensive coordinator taking over for Matt Patricia and Joe Judge in Bill O’Brien. Players were smiling. Offensive players were hyping up Jones’ progress. The team was celebrating in practice and having fun. The stink of 2022 had worn off and the unit was starting anew by challenging what was expected to be a stout defense before injuries changed those plans.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots CB J.C.

Lucas: Biden needs to give up already!

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

If David Axelrod said it, you know Barack Obama is thinking it.And that is the thought to dump Joe Biden. Or, more precisely, to get the incredibly shrinking Joe Biden not to run for re-election.The polls show that people believe he, among other things, is just too old for the job. Biden turns 81 on Nov. 20.Joe Biden’s presidency is in many ways Barack Obama’s third term, and Biden has made a mess of it, despite surrounding himself with Obama holdovers.Ever concerned about his legacy, Obama in 2020 never wanted Biden to run for president in the first place. “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t,” Obama told Biden back then.Obama did not endorse Biden in the primaries and only came aboard Biden’s candidacy after Biden had secured the nomination.Obama also told intimates, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to (mess) things up.”And Joe Biden has, which is why he is underwater in the polls. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong — the disastrous Afghan pullout, open b...

Massachusetts lawmakers considering using convention centers as overflow sites for migrants, homeless families

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:03 GMT

Massachusetts state lawmakers are considering using convention centers like the Hynes in downtown Boston as an overflow site for homeless and migrant families waiting for emergency shelter, the top House Democrat said Wednesday.Emergency shelters in the state are expected to reach the Healey administration’s self-imposed capacity of 7,500 families this week, and House lawmakers have proposed shuttling $50 million to the creation of an overflow site for families who are placed on a state-run waitlist.House Speaker Ronald Mariano said officials have discussed “a lot of different options” when asked if the Hynes Convention Center or other similar locations have been floated as potential locations.“All those things could be in play. All of those we suggested,” he told reporters at the State House. “We talked about a lot of different options. There are plenty in the state and it’s up to (the Healey administration) as to how many we need. Do we need one? If we have Hynes, will that ...
