Opinion: War with Hamas will come with a cost we must weigh

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:47 GMT

In his 2002 Nobel lecture, former President Jimmy Carter said, “War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But, no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.”The truth of President Carter’s words has been challenged in the aftermath of Hamas’ attack on civilians in Israel on October 7. The anger many are feeling, me included, is justified when you read the stories of those like May Hayat, a survivor of the Supernova music festival, who, after witnessing the murders of several festival goers, survived only by smearing herself in blood and then laying motionless among dead bodies until help arrived.Who wouldn’t demand retribution and revenge when confronted with such stories of death and survival?And therein lies the problem, which points to the truth of President Carter’s supposition. For example, two days after Hamas’ initial attack, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that he or...

What are the best compression stockings for men

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:47 GMT

The correct socks have the power to alter your life. Socks have several benefits, including keeping your feet warm, dry, pleasant and guarding against problems or injuries. But there are particular socks, like compression stockings, for specific issues.Your legs, ankles, and calves will feel light pressure and gentle squeezing from compression stockings, commonly called compression stockings or support stockings.

These socks have also become a standard component of post-surgery or injury recovery. Still, they have also grown in po...
