Por qué los activistas por la paz de Israel están reevaluando su posición sobre la guerra

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:03 GMT

(CNN) —  Cuando la activista de derechos humanos Ziv Stahl se despertó con el estallido de los disparos de cohetes el 7 de octubre, mientras se encontraba en la casa de su hermana en el kibutz Kfar Aza, no anticipó ni por un momento la escala del ataque terrorista que se estaba desarrollando a su alrededor. Tampoco se imaginó el horror que sentiría cuando más tarde llamó a la policía, quienes “básicamente me dijeron que no vendría nadie”.Ese día, su cuñada murió en manos de militantes de Hamas y a varios destacados activistas por la paz que vivían en el kibutz, una de las comunidades que sufrió la peor parte del ataque a Israel.Stahl, directora ejecutiva de la organización de derechos humanos Yesh Din, dice que no pide venganza por lo ocurrido ese día ni adopta una posición pacifista sobre la consiguiente guerra de Israel en Gaza contra Hamas. “No estoy diciendo un alto el fuego a cualquier precio”, afirmó. “Israel tiene derecho a defenderse y proteger a los ...

Iowa defense slows down No. 2 Michigan, but stagnant offense costly for No. 18 Hawkeyes

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — No. 18 Iowa won the Big Ten West by mucking things up for everyone else.The Hawkeyes’ strategy failed them Saturday.While the defense did its part by holding one of the nation’s best offenses to two touchdowns and four field goals, their offensive struggles resurfaced in a 26-0 loss to No. 2 Michigan — their second conference title-game loss to the Wolverines in three years. Tonight is a low point,” coach Kirk Ferentz said following the second shutout in the Big Ten’s 13-game history. “These guys laid it out there. This guy (linebacker Jay Higgins), plus a bunch of other guys, laid it out there. Everybody laid it out there. Didn’t go our way, but they’ll get back on their feet because that’s the kind of people they are. For Iowa (10-3, No. 16 CFP), it was all too familiar.The Hawkeyes entered championship week with the FBS’ No. 4 scoring defense and it didn’t disappoint. Iowa sacked Big Ten quarterback of the year J.J. McCarthy...

Macron says ‘total destruction of Hamas’ would take a decade

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:03 GMT

French President Emmanuel Macron said Israel “must more precisely define” what it seeks to accomplish in its war on Hamas as the full elimination of the Palestinian militant group would take a decade. “We are at a moment when Israeli authorities must more precisely define their objectives and their final goal: the total destruction of Hamas — does anyone think it is possible? If this is the case, the war will last 10 years,” Macron said on Saturday.Macron told a press conference at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai: “There is no lasting security for Israel in the region if its security is achieved at the cost of Palestinian lives.” Macron made the comments after the Israeli military intensified its bombing of the Gaza Strip, on the second day after a truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed, with Israel accusing Hamas of violating the terms of the agreement.A Palestinian official familiar with the truce efforts told the BBC the negotiations a...

Israel steps up pounding of Gaza, targets southern areas

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:03 GMT

The Israeli military on Saturday stepped up its bombing of Gaza Strip, intensifying its renewed offensive on the second day after a truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed, with Israel accusing Hamas of violating the terms of the agreement.Israel pounded targets in the crowded southern areas of Gaza and ordered more neighborhoods designated for attack to evacuate, driving up the death toll as the United States and others urged more be done to protect civilians.The prospect of further pauses in the fighting in Gaza appeared bleak, as Israel recalled its negotiators and Hamas’ deputy leader said any further swap of Gaza-held hostages for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel would only happen as part of ending the war.“We will continue the war until we achieve all its goals, and it’s impossible to achieve those goals without the ground operation,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an address Saturday night.The Israel Defense Forces IDF said on X on Saturday that Israeli strikes h...

Earth is running a fever. And UN climate talks are focusing on the contagious effect on human health

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:03 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — With Planet Earth running a fever, U.N. climate talks focused Sunday on the contagious effects on human health.Under a brown haze over Dubai, the COP28 summit moved past two days of lofty rhetoric and calls for unity from top leaders to concerns on health issues like the deaths of at least 7 million people globally from air pollution each year and the spread of diseases like cholera and malaria as global warming upends weather systems.World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it was high time for the U.N. Conference of Parties on climate to hold its first health day in its 28th edition, saying the threats to health from climate change were “immediate and present.”“Although the climate crisis is a health crisis, it’s well overdue that 27 COPs have been and gone without a serious discussion of health,” he said. “Undoubtedly, health stands as the most compelling reason for taking climate action.”After two days of speec...

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s military on Sunday ordered more areas in and around Gaza’s second-largest city of Khan Younis to evacuate, as it shifted its offensive to the southern half of the territory where it says many Hamas leaders are hiding.Heavy bombardments were reported overnight and into Sunday in the area of Khan Younis and the southern city of Rafah, as well as parts of the north that had been the focus of Israel’s blistering air and ground campaign.Many of the territory’s 2.3 million people are crammed in the south after Israeli forces ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the 2-month-old war.With the resumption of fighting, hopes receded that another temporary truce could be negotiated. A weeklong cease-fire, which expired Friday, had facilitated the release of dozens of Gaza-held Israeli and foreign hostages and Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.“We will continue the war until we achieve all its goals, and it’s impossibl...
