Palestinian death toll in West Bank surges as Israel pursues militants following Hamas rampage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:51:48 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Deadly violence has been surging in the West Bank as the Israeli military pursues Palestinian militants in the aftermath of the Hamas attack from Gaza, with at least 90 Palestinians killed in the Israeli-occupied territory in the past two weeks, mainly in clashes with Israeli troops.The violence threatens to open another front in the 2-week-old war, and puts pressure on the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the West Bank and is deeply unpopular among Palestinians, in large part because it cooperates with Israel on security matters. The tally includes five Palestinians killed in separate incidents on Sunday, including two who died in an airstrike on a mosque in the volatile Jenin refugee camp that Israel said was being used by militants. Israel carried out an airstrike during a battle in another West Bank refugee camp last week, in which 13 Palestinians, including five minors, and a member of Israel’s paramilitary Bord...

Director Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” tells the true story of a string of murders on the Osage Nation’s land in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Based on David Grann’s meticulously researched 2017 book, the movie delves into racial and family dynamics that rocked Oklahoma to the core when oil was discovered on Osage lands.White settlers targeted members of the Osage Nation to steal their land and the riches beneath it. At least 60 Osage people were murdered or disappeared between 1921 and 1925. From a historical perspective, this crime, made possible by federal policies from the 1880s, was just the tip of the iceberg.From the early 1800s through the 1930s, official U.S. policy displaced thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral homes through the policy known as Indian removal. And throughout the 20th century, the federal government collected billions of dollars from sales or leases of natural resources such as timber, oil and...

“I know the heart is an involuntary organ,” a club player said to me. “It works without conscious direction from the brain. I didn’t know the tongue was that way until I acquired my current partner. Except he’s now my former partner.”“Partners do tend to speak without thinking,” I sighed.My friend was today’s North.“My first four bids had shown nothing,” he said, “so when my partner cue-bid five diamonds, I thought my king was enough to bid slam. West led the ten of diamonds, and partner won with the jack, accepting the free finesse. He drew trumps, took the A-K of clubs and the ace of diamonds, and led a low heart.“East won with the eight and led a club. South ruffed and led the ace and low heart. He went down two.“My partner savaged me. He strained his voice, and not because he was talking through a colander. He said my slam bid was nutty. I mentioned that, as he played the hand, five spades would ...
