Israel’s Insidious Narrative About Palestinian Prisoners

Palestinians reunite with their relatives as they are released from Israel’s Ofer prison as a part of a prisoner swap, in Al Bireh, West Bank, on Nov. 26, 2023.Photo: Issam Rimawi/Anadolu via Getty ImagesThe Israeli government narrative surrounding the Palestinian prisoners being released during this temporary ceasefire is both insidious and dishonest. Interior Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has banned Palestinians from celebrating their release. “My instructions are clear: there are to be no expressions of joy,” he said. “Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism, victory celebrations give backing to those human scum, for those Nazis.” He told Israeli police to deploy an “iron fist” to enforce his edict.The Netanyahu government and its supporters have promoted a narrative that these prisoners are all hardened terrorists who committed violent crimes. This assertion relies on a farcical “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired logic of convicting them by fiat in public before any trial...

Tom Allen won’t return for eighth season as Indiana Hoosiers coach, AP sources say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:15 GMT

Tom Allen spent four seasons steadily taking Indiana up the Big Ten ladder.Then everything came crashing down in college football’s rapidly evolving world.Three consecutive losing seasons and a three-year conference record of 3-24 cost Allen his dream job, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the school did not announce the firing.“I understand you have to win. I want to win as bad as anybody,” he said Saturday after a 35-31 loss at rival Purdue. “It’s out of my hands.”Allen had four years left on a contract he received in 2021 and is owed $20.8 million. That number was scheduled to drop to about $8 million next December, raising the question: Would it be too expensive to fire Allen or more costly to keep a potentially lame duck coach?It’s the biggest buyout ever paid by a Big Ten school, surpassed nationally only by Texas A&M’s recent payout of more than $75 million to Jimbo Fishe...
