Hamas explained: The group that attacked Israel

The U.S. State Department describes Hamas as a terrorist organization Its primary goal is to eliminate Israel and create a Palestinian country in its place.While organized in the 80’s, Hamas rose to power in 2007 after winning elections in the Gaza strip.“Well initially, they were supported because they were seen as pious, they were seen as that they were going to uphold Islamic values, that they were going to be less corrupt than the Palestinian authority,” said Eric lob, professor at FIU.Lob said since then, Hamas has been running Gaza with an iron fist, which makes it hard to gauge how much support they actually have in the region.“Everyday Palestinian civilians who live there, some may support their military actions against Israel but others pay the price,” he said. “A lot of civilians as we are seeing today, as hundreds are killed and thousands are injured or dislocated within Gaza with really nowhere to go, ultimately they pay the price for ...

Bruins start youth movement up the middle

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:25:45 GMT

With the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci and the departure of Tomas Nosek, the Bruins desperately needed young centermen to step up in training camp and they did just that.Now comes the real test.Both Matthew Poitras and John Beecher made the B’s opening night roster, and they unequivocally earned their spots. Judging from the lines at Monday’s Garden practice, Poitras will center a third line between Morgan Geekie and Trent Frederic while Beecher will be on a fourth line between Milan Lucic and Jakub Lauko when the Chicago Blackhawks come to town to kick off the Centennial season.While it seemed like the 19-year-old Poitras, the big story of the camp, had cemented his spot when he scored the game-winner in the B’s final preseason game at Madison Square Garden, it wasn’t quite as clear for Beecher. While he remained in camp after the final preseason tilt, Patrick Brown skated in the fourth-line center spot last Friday and it seemed like the B...

Franklin stays unbeaten with 4-2 win at Concord-Carlisle

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:25:45 GMT

CONCORD – Even in a tale of two halves between Div. 1 title contenders, the No. 4 Franklin field hockey team got the best of both Monday afternoon en route to a 4-2 nonleague win over No. 12 Concord-Carlisle.A hot start set the tone for the Panthers (9-0-1), as Raena Crandall’s fourth hat trick of the year included scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes as part of a 3-1 first half. They almost needed every bit of it with the comeback intensity the Patriots (9-2-1) showed out of the break, but Franklin’s defense allowed just one goal off 12 second-half corners to withstand the furious rally.To experience both ends of a dominant half and still come through either way, against an opponent of that caliber, is a huge marker for the Panthers as they remain the only unbeaten team left in Div. 1.“I think it’s a big confidence-builder … this is a big W,” said Franklin head coach Michelle Hess. “Playing teams like this helps us to see that, ‘Yeah, we can hang with these, the super teams of t...
