Trump, Biden and a Split Screen Made for This Moment
  + stars: | 2024-05-07 | by ( Peter Baker | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It was perhaps a twisted cosmic coincidence that President Biden’s nationally televised speech on Holocaust remembrance would take place at the exact moment that former President Donald J. Trump was in a courtroom confronted by Stormy Daniels’s testimony about a sexual tryst gonewrong. But the surreal synchronism of the disparate events 182 days before the election captured the sometimes unreal reality of a presidential race like none before it, at once profound and tawdry, a contest with momentous consequences and a circuslike surround sound. A nation grappling with two wars overseas and campus unrest at home is also being asked to parse through the unseemly details of a married man’s purported dalliance with a woman who had sex on camera professionally. This may not have been what the founders had in mind when they established the presidency, watching Mr. Biden’s speech at the Capitol condemning “a ferocious surge of antisemitism” while internet feeds provided the latest from Ms. Daniels’s account about the particular coital position she and Mr. Trump assumed. Yet so goes 2024, a year of twists and turns that defy history and the imagination.

Why does Biden support Israel so wholeheartedly? The first is a lifelong understanding of Jewish history and the indispensable role a Jewish state plays in countering millennia of antisemitism. For Biden, these imperatives – strategic, historic, moral, emotional – come together in the war between Israel and Iran-backed Hamas, a terrorist group founded on the goal of destroying Israel. Biden learned Jewish history at his father’s foot. Where many see a war between Israel and Hamas, Biden sees something much larger.

And based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. And Americans are worried,” Biden told Netanyahu as they began a bilateral meeting, acknowledging the complex dynamic. Hospital blast looms over tripThe trip comes less than a day after a horrifying blast at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. Biden landed in Israel on October 18, on a solidarity visit following Hamas attacks that have led to major Israeli reprisals. “The Jews have been subject to abuse, prejudice and attempts to wipe them out for, oh, God, over a thousand years,” Biden told interviewer Scott Pelley.

Biden said he and his national security team were working “round the clock" on the crisis, including plotting how to get the Americans home safely. If I told you I wouldn't be able to get them home," Biden said at the start of a White House roundtable with Jewish community leaders. The move is meant to starve resources for Hamas, but aid groups have warned of a humanitarian crisis for the Palestinian people who are also suffering because of the attack. Secretary of State Antony Blinken left Wednesday for Israel, where America's top diplomat is set to meet with Netanyahu and Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Biden is an old foreign policy hand, having chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during his career as a U.S. senator from Delaware.

CNN —During a ceremony and press conference Wednesday in New York, seven drawings by the Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele were returned to the heirs of their former owner, Fritz Grünbaum, whose art collection was stolen by the Nazis during World War II. His routines, which often openly derided Nazism and Hitler, were eventually banned, and Nazis arrested Grünbaum in 1938. His wife, Elisabeth, was later forced to turn over her husband’s art collection — which Bragg said Wednesday included “hundreds of pieces” — to the Nazis. Grünbaum’s collection included “I Love Antithesis,” a colorful watercolor painting of the artist, and “Girl Putting on Shoe,” which was previously held by MoMA. Earlier this week, additional Schiele pieces were “seized” from three US museums amid other efforts to reunite Grünbaum’s collection, though they currently remain at the museums pending further investigation.

Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics fortune and president of the World Jewish Congress, is seen on Sept. 21, 2022. The billionaire Ronald Lauder has agreed to return a piece of art looted by Nazis from a collector who was later killed in a concentration camp. Lauder, the heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics fortune and a Republican megadonor, also is the president of the World Jewish Congress. Grunbaum acquired a collection of 81 Schiele works before he was arrested in Austria in 1938 by the Nazis. Lauder acquired the artwork "through an art dealer decades after it was misappropriated" by the Nazis, his spokesperson said.

A newly-uncovered Vatican 1942 letter suggests that then-Pope Pius XII likely knew about Nazi genocide. Pope Pius XII had already been scrutinized for his negotiations with Nazi Germany. Pope Pius XII was afraid Hitler would winGalerie Bilderwelt/Getty ImagesThe relationship between Pope Pius XII and Nazi leadership, especially Adolf Hitler, has long been uncovered and brought Pius under scrutiny, suggesting the pontiff was probably aware of Leiber's correspondence with König. "Pius XII was afraid of, certainly in the first years of the war, that the Nazis were going to win. The beatification process for Pius XII, which started in 1967, has been delayed because of his controversial choices during World War II.

CNN —Wartime Pope Pius XII knew details about the Nazi attempt to exterminate Jews in the Holocaust as early as 1942, according to a letter found in the Vatican archives that conflicts with the Holy See’s official position at the time that the information it had was vague and unverified. “The newness and importance of this document derives from a fact: now we have the certainty that the Catholic Church in Germany sent Pius XII exact and detailed news about the crimes that were being perpetrated against the Jews,” Coco told the newspaper, whose article was headlined: “Pius XII Knew”. His detractors say he lacked the courage to speak out on information he had despite pleas from Allied powers fighting Germany. The letter was among documents Coco said were kept in haphazard ways in the Vatican’s Secretariat of State and only recently handed over to the central archives where he works. Folders containing documents on Pope Pius XII, who reigned from 1939-1958, are seen inside the Vatican archives ahead of the full opening of the secret archives to scholars on March 2, at the Vatican, February 27, 2020.

The letter was among documents Coco said were kept in haphazard ways in the Vatican's Secretariat of State and only recently handed over to the central archives where he works.

REUTERS/Claudia GrecoPADUA, Italy, May 9 (Reuters) - Passionate Inter Milan fan Enrico Vanzini went to the club's San Siro stadium to watch his team play for the first time in 2022. "I prayed to God to give me the joy of Inter winning, and hopefully He will agree," he said, wearing an Inter t-shirt with his name inscribed on the back. "I would do anything (for a win), including (giving up) my small pension." Vanzini, who received his Inter t-shirt from the club to mark his 100th birthday, began testifying about his experiences of the Holocaust in the early 2000s. But he has a suggestion to help the team defeat Milan and reach the first Champions League final since 2010.
La 25 martie 1957, aceste state au semnat Tratatele de la Roma, care instituiau Comunitatea Economică Europeană (CEE) şi Comunitatea Europeană a Energiei Atomice (CEEA, astăzi EURATOM). În 1939, la începutul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, Schuman a devenit ministru adjunct în guvernul francez. După război, Schuman a ocupat o serie de funcţii cu nivel înalt, devenind pe rând ministru al finanţelor, prim-ministru, ministrul afacerilor externe şi ministru al justiţiei. În 1958, Schuman a devenit primul preşedinte al instituţiei care a precedat Parlamentul European, organismul cu puteri legislative al UE. După ce şi-a părăsit funcţia, Parlamentul i-a acordat titlul de „părinte al Europei”, iar ziua în care a prezentat faimoasa declaraţie a fost declarată „Ziua Europei”.

Avocat celebru specializat în relaţiile Occidentului cu blocul sovietic, Pisar, născut în Polonia, s-a stabilit împreună cu familia la Paris, unde Blinken a urmat şcoala Jeannine Manuel în perioada când SUA se împotmoleau în războiul din Vietnam. În anii petrecuţi la Paris, viitorul secretar de stat şi-a descoperit şi latura muzicală - a încercat jazzul şi a fost pasionat de rock în asemenea măsură încât a citat din Pink Floyd în albumul foto al uneia din promoţiile liceului unde a învăţat. După ce s-a ascuns două zile prin păduri, Pisar a auzit un tanc care se apropia; spre uşurarea lui, din blindat a ieşit un soldat american. Tânărul polonez a îngenunchiat şi a rostit singurele trei cuvinte în engleză pe care le ştia: 'God bless America' - Dumnezeu să binecuvânteze America. Militarul l-a ridicat de jos şi l-a pus să intre în tanc, adică 'metaforic, în Statele Unite, către libertate', a explicat Blinken, care a conchis: 'Asta e ţara cu care am crescut: Statele Unite jucând acest rol atât de primitor, unic şi extraordinar', scrie agerpres.ro.
