Fog of War: The Media and the Israel–Palestine Conflict

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:08 GMT

This week on Deconstructed, Ryan Grim is joined by Intercept reporter Alice Speri, who has frequently reported from occupied Palestinian territory, and Palestinian American writer and political analyst Yousef Munayyer. Speri and Munayyer discuss the history behind the violence that exploded Saturday, with Hamas capturing and killing an unprecedented number of Israelis, including hundreds of civilians. They also examine the current spread of misinformation during the conflict, how the media has historically ignored violence perpetrated by Israel, and how the impunity surrounding many of those attacks by Israeli forces has given the government freedom to collectively punish Palestinian civilians broadly in revenge for the assault by Hamas.Transcript coming soon. The post Fog of War: The Media and the Israel–Palestine Conflict appeared first on The Intercept.

Springboks pull surprise with Reinach at No. 9 for Rugby World Cup quarterfinal vs. France

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:08 GMT

PARIS (AP) — South Africa provided a big surprise on Friday by naming Cobus Reinach to start at scrumhalf ahead of regular Faf de Klerk in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against France, likely pitting him against the best player in the world if Antoine Dupont returns from injury to lead the host team.Reinach will partner Manie Libbok, who retained his place as first-choice flyhalf for the defending champion Springboks despite 2019 World Cup winner Handre Pollard’s call-up to the squad.Pollard, de Klerk and Willie le Roux are the three backs on the bench as South Africa went with a traditional 5-3 split in the reserves.Reinach has scored four tries at the tournament but his job on Sunday may largely revolve around keeping Dupont in check.Dupont sustained a facial fracture against Namibia three weeks ago and had surgery but has been cleared to return to full-contact training and the French are hopeful their tactical genius can play at Stade de France. France is expected to nam...

Presto’s Picks: Homecoming for U.Md., VT with routs served on the midday menu

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:08 GMT

Homecoming celebration is a dish best served at 3:30 p.m.Let’s be honest, students don’t always wake up early on Saturday mornings to show up at their best for a noon kickoff. And it’s nice to give the alumni a decent window to tailgate, from my friends Matt and Stacia at Maryland (shrimp dip with Frito’s, plus Coors Light to wash it down) to my pals Ray & Leanne at Virginia Tech (smoked turkey legs with Milwaukee’s Best) without giving them all day to graze.On Saturday, the Terps and Hokies begin the second halves of their seasons by welcoming back alumni in the midafternoon window, leaving exclusivity at noon for a sneaky/good matchup involving a local school (James Madison and Georgia Southern delivered a doozy of a game last year).You should at least expect a closer game in Harrisonburg than the noon quartet on the major outlets: On CBS, No. 1 Georgia is a 31.5 point favorite over Vanderbilt, while No. 2 Michigan is favored by 33.5 over Indiana on FOX (even the power of Gus ...

Hamas dice que 13 rehenes, varios de ellos extranjeros, murieron en bombardeos israelíes

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:08 GMT

Los intensos bombardeos israelíes sobre la Franja de Gaza mataron a 13 rehenes, varios de ellos extranjeros, retenidos por Hamas, según el grupo insurgente.El ala militar de Hamas indicó en un comunicado el viernes que las 13 personas murieron en distintos emplazamientos en las últimas 24 horas, pero no ofreció detalles sobre las nacionalidades de los extranjeros. Israel no ha confirmado la información. El ejército israelí ordenó el viernes la evacuación de cientos de miles de civiles que viven en la Ciudad de Gaza antes de su temida ofensiva terrestre. La orden se produjo luego de que Naciones Unidas indicó que había recibido una advertencia israelí para sacar a 1.1 millones de residentes en el norte de la Franja en un plazo de 24 horas. Lo último de la guerra entre Israel y Hamas: ya son más de 1,700 muertos Escondidos y separados de sus familias: así se llevó Hamas a algunos de los rehenes Hamas ha exigido la libertad de los 5,...

Israel le dice a 1,1 millones de habitantes de Gaza que evacúen hacia el sur, una orden “imposible”, según la ONU

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:08 GMT

(CNN) — El ejército de Israel le advirtió a 1,1 millones de personas que viven en el norte de Gaza que deben evacuar sus hogares, en medio de indicios de que va a intensificar su ofensiva de represalia contra Hamas tras los ataques terroristas del grupo del 7 de octubre.“Civiles de la ciudad de Gaza, evacúen hacia el sur por su propia seguridad y la de sus familias y aléjense de los terroristas de Hamas que los están utilizando como escudos humanos”, dijeron las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI).“En los próximos días, las IDF continuarán operando de forma significativa en la ciudad de Gaza y harán grandes esfuerzos para evitar dañar a los civiles”.Este jueves, la ONU dijo haber sido informada por sus oficiales de enlace en el ejército israelí de que “toda la población de Gaza al norte de Wadi Gaza debe trasladarse al sur de Gaza en las próximas 24 horas”.La ONU ha censurado tal orden, afirmando que es imposible que los civiles evacuen.̶...
