Trudy Rubin: The roots and nuances of the Israel-Hamas war

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:50:48 GMT

As I’ve watched the heartbreaking scenes of death and destruction during the last few weeks — of the monstrous attack by Hamas on innocent Israelis, of Gazan civilians desperately seeking water and shelter from Israeli bombs — my mind has often turned to a dear Palestinian friend in Gaza City whom I used to visit decades ago.Mary Khaas ran kindergartens in Gazan refugee camps for the Philadelphia-based American Friends Service Committee.

By STEVE KARNOWSKI and NICHOLAS RICCARDIST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Efforts to use the Constitution’s “insurrection” clause to prevent former President Donald Trump from running again for the White House turn to Minnesota on Thursday with oral arguments before the state Supreme Court, a hearing that will unfold as a similar case plays out in Colorado.Those lawsuits are among several filed around the country to bar Trump from state ballots in 2024 over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, an assault intended to halt Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s win. The Colorado and Minnesota cases are furthest along, putting one or both on an expected path to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never decided the issue.The central argument is the same — that Section Three of the 14th Amendment bars from holding office anyone who previously swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it.In the Minnesota case, the plaintiffs are asking the...
