Holocaust survivors gather in Aventura to reflect on attack on Israel, pray for safe return of hostages taken by Hamas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:04 GMT

Holocaust survivors Tuesday night gathered with other members of the community to prayed for the safe return of those held hostage by terrorist group Hamas. The slogan “never again” became a saying for the Jewish people after the Holocaust. Many of those survivors have spent much of their lives spreading that message and are reminding people of the horrors they faced. Now, their biggest fears, is that those horrors are once again returning. With great pain, comes great strength. “I was in three concentration camps,” Saul Dreier said.“My father was killed right away,” Diane Horowitz said.“It’s never again, it’s here, it’s ever again, and I hope that never again will mean something to everybody, and please, stop all this evil,” Tzippy Holland said.These holocaust survivors have looked evil in the face once before and fear that as the war rages on in Israel, that evil is peaking its head out all around the world again.&...

Rishi Sunak plots pre-election tax trap for Labour

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:04 GMT

LONDON — For many in the Labour Party, the electoral equation for the next 12 months is simple. Win the public’s trust on the economy — a perennial difficulty for Britain’s center-left party — and win the election.The polls have certainly been looking rosy for Labour in recent months. Surveys consistently suggest the public trusts Labour to manage the economy far more than the ruling Conservative Party, after the latter presided over years of declining living standards and recent 40-year-high inflation.However, the Conservatives may have one last weapon in the locker as they look to create clear lines of division between themselves and Keir Starmer’s party before an expected fall 2024 election.While Prime Minister Rishi Sunak set out his legislative proposals in the King’s Speech Tuesday, ahead of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement in just over two weeks’ time, a far more consequential parliamentary event is likely to take place within the next six...

Portugal in political crisis after PM António Costa resigns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:04 GMT

Portugal’s government plunged into chaos following Prime Minister António Costa’s unexpected resignation Tuesday, hours after police raided his official residence and confirmed his implication in a corruption probe. With the country’s leadership now in flux, it falls to President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa to exercise his constitutional right to appoint a new prime minister, or dissolve parliament, sparking an election.Costa has dominated Portugal’s political landscape since taking power in 2015, defeating external rivals and cannily eliminating potential usurpers within the ranks of his Socialist Party. But on Tuesday his command of the country came to an abrupt end after the police raided his official residence and several ministries as part of an investigation into corruption surrounding lithium exploration schemes and a green hydrogen mega-project. The skill with which the disgraced prime minister managed to get rid of those who could threaten his leadership ...

A broken Netanyahu is miscalculating over Gaza, former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:04 GMT

TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been “destroyed emotionally” by his massive failure on national security and is now miscalculating by preparing to take overall control of Gaza’s security for an “indefinite period” after Hamas has been crushed, according to former leader Ehud Olmert. In an interview with POLITICO, Olmert argued Netanyahu was in a state of “nervous breakdown,” as he sought to avoid being thrown out of office for failing to safeguard national security in the murderous Hamas attacks of October 7. This meant Israel was now steering off course strategically, Olmert went on, insisting the priority should be to negotiate an endgame with the international community — involving a return to talks on the formation of a Palestinian state, rather than turning back the clock to full military oversight over Gaza. “[Netanyahu] has shrunk. He’s destroyed emotionally, that’s for sure. I mean, some...
