Noa Argamani, the freed Israeli hostage who was kidnapped from a music festival during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack and held in Gaza until June, celebrated her freedom this week by returning to the dance floor. She addressed whether a celebration was suitable when dozens of hostages remain in Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack that sparked war between Israel and Hamas militants. The party was titled "Return to Life" and featured a large graphic image of Or with the words, "We will dance again." More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive in the enclave following Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attacks, local officials say. Some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 others taken hostage in the Hamas assault, according to Israeli officials, marking a major escalation in a decadeslong conflict.

In a November 1976 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Gilda Radner, in her recurring impression of Barbara Walters — a.k.a. Baba Wawa — interviews Henry Kissinger, played by John Belushi. After inquiring about his “silly, silly” accent, which she says “really, really irritates” her, Radner asks Belushi to repeat after her: “I am a really, really fat, roly poly diplomat.” He does. In a 1987 episode of “S.N.L.,” his religion comes up again in a sketch called “The Assimilated Jew’s Hanukkah.” In it, Al Franken imitates Kissinger, who is selling an album of Jewish Christmas songs. I told him that if it hadn’t been for the Xmas bombing, he’d have the tickets.”

[1/2] A screen displays photos of people who were abducted by Hamas gunmen during the October 7 attack on Israel, in Tel Aviv, Israel, November 27, 2023. Later on Monday he wrote on X: "I will wear it every day until your loved ones are released." The dog-tags, prevalent throughout Israel, mark the Oct. 7 cross-border killing spree by Hamas during which 240 people were dragged back to Gaza. The White House criticised Musk for what it called an "abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate" that "runs against our core values as Americans". Musk has said he is against antisemitism and anything that "promotes hate and conflict" and stated that X would not promote hate speech.

As well as the Israeli hostages, 10 Thais and one Filipino, who were taken captive at the same time, were also freed under a separate agreement, Qatari mediators said. The military said the released hostages had undergone initial medical checks inside Israel and would be taken to hospitals where they would be reunited with their families. The rest of a group of at least 50 Israeli hostages due to be exchanged under a Qatari-brokered agreement are expected to be freed in the coming days and more hostages could be added if the truce deal is extended. The military campaign has killed around 14,000 Palestinians, according to medical authorities in Hamas-ruled Gaza and reduced much of Gaza to rubble.

More than 1,200 people in Israel died, most of them in the Hamas attack, and about 240 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza by Palestinian militants. The army said Tuesday that it has captured Gaza’s legislature building, the Hamas police headquarters and a compound housing Hamas’ military intelligence headquarters. Israeli news sites showed pictures of Israeli soldiers hoisting the Israeli national flag and military flags in some of the buildings. The Israeli military did not give a reason for her death, while Hamas said she was killed in an Israeli strike. On Nov. 5, the Israeli military struck a car on the road between the southern Lebanese towns of Ainata and Aitaroun.

On an epic pilgrimage of his own, one writer ventures into the heart of three great religions in Bolivia, Mongolia and Iraq. The Imam Hussein shrine in Karbala the day after Ashura. “They’re poor, but they come thousands of kilometers for the love of Imam Hussein.” PILGRIMAGE WAS A great equalizer. “Labaik ya Hussein,” came the solemn chorus of surrounding voices.

As a teenager in Portland, Ore., Nadya Okamoto remembers speaking with homeless women near her local bus stop about a little-discussed subject. “I asked them, ‘What’s a challenge that you are dealing with?’ And it was not having access to period products,” she said. At age 16 she founded PERIOD, a nonprofit organization working to end “period poverty” and stigma through policy advocacy and by directly distributing menstrual products. Ms. Okamoto became a highly visible leader, posting candid video diaries on TikTok, where she now has over 4 million followers. She replaced herself as executive director of PERIOD in early 2020, and a wave of criticism on social media pushed her to breaking point.

Armed with only a scalpel, a clamp and a metal probe, Philip L. Sherman would routinely carry out his surgical mission in about 15 seconds, leave in as little as 10 minutes and hotfoot it to his car, which was probably parked illegally but perhaps spared a ticket by the inspired placard on his windshield: “Mazel Tov! Bris in progress. Please don’t ticket.”Mr. Sherman, whose website (as well as his vanity license plate) was emoil.com =, claimed to have performed some 26,000 ritual circumcisions, mostly in the New York metropolitan area, during his 45-year career. He was trained in the Jewish religious practice of brit milah — a profession generally spelled “mohel” in English and pronounced “moil.”His record, he said, was 11 in a single day, including two pairs of twins — a considerable scheduling feat, considering that the ritual is to be performed on the eighth day of the baby’s life and during daylight. Mr. Sherman also performed ritual circumcisions on Muslim and Christian infant boys, as well as the son of a man he had circumcised as an infant and the grandsons of two Israeli prime ministers, and in all kinds of places, including Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and a bar on Third Avenue (for a family who lived upstairs).

But casting for a colorblind utopia can be a problem when your aim is to depict racial injustice. Nontraditional casting is of particular value where there’s a tradition to be bucked; familiar works or historical episodes can be experienced in fresh ways. In high school, I was cast as the menacing Goldberg in Harold Pinter’s 1957 play, “The Birthday Party.” (“Mazel tov! There’s a useful analogy, speaking of Goldberg variations, in the “historically informed performance” movement in music. But who would limit themselves to “authentic” performances of Bach’s “Goldberg” Variations — and thus miss the marimba player Pius Cheung’s rendition?

If you’re sending money electronically, it’s great to note in the card the method by which you’ve sent money: “Check your Venmo for the gift that accompanies this card UNLESS YOU HATE MONEY,” or similar phrasing of your choice. Don’t even give them a gift card, which limits where they can redeem it and adds the pressure of an expiration date. And even if you feel annoyed by an overt request for a monetary gift, don’t decide to opt out with the gift of nothing.

Республика Молдова рискует потерять часть собственности, которая находится на территории США, сообщает Noi.md со ссылкой на Rise. И это потому, что украинская фирма подала апелляцию в Окружной суд Колумбии с требованием вернуть часть молдавской собственности украинской фирме за предполагаемый долг. «15 января 2021 года Окружной суд Колумбии в США (действующий как апелляционный суд) рассмотрел дело об утверждении и признании иностранного арбитражного решения против государства Республика Молдова. В частности, Суд должен был решить, правильно ли ранее суд первой инстанции США подтвердил решение Парижского суда от октября 2013 г., согласно которому Республика Молдова была обязана выплатить украинской фирме сумму в размере 600 млн леев (около 46,5 млн долларов США по тогдашнему курсу). Журналисты Rise пишут, что тогдашняя задолженность должна быть рассчитана с добавлением процентной надбавки, чтобы адекватно компенсировать украинской фирме временную стоимость денег.

Украинская компания пытается взыскать с Республики Молдова сумму почти в 1 миллиард леев по якобы долгу за электроэнергию, поставленную в Кишинев в конце 90-х годов. 15 января 2021 года Окружной суд Колумбии (США) апелляционной инстанции) рассматривал дело об утверждении и признании иностранного арбитражного решения против государства Республика Молдова, пишет RISE Moldova. Украинская компания, которая в настоящее время требует от Республики Молдова предполагаемой задолженности за электроэнергию, поставленную в конце 90-х, — это SPS Stileks, юридический офис которой находится в Запорожье. Stileks заплатил 1,5 миллиона гривен за право требовать от Республики Молдова якобы долга за электроэнергию, который между тем составляет 58 миллионов долларов. Ранее RISE Moldova писала, что как минимум две из этих компаний контролируются людьми, связанными с Вячеславом Платоном.

Procurorul General, Alexandr Stoianoglo, a respins ferm și categoric acuzațiile grave, lansate atât asupra sa, cât și la adresa membrilor familiei sale, prin care se încearcă acreditarea ideii că ar avea vreo tangență cu anumite companii delicte, afiliate unui figurant pe anumite dosare. Și omul de afaceri, Veaceslav Platon declară că ceea ce a prezentat Morari astăzi nu sunt decât falsuri, făcute peste noapte de unele persoane, cu scopul de a discredita persoana Procurorului General.
