“We need revenge,” said one protester, Noam Goldstein, 15, a high school student from a small Israeli settlement near the West Bank Palestinian city of Hebron. “They committed attacks against us, so we must be avenged. That doesn't mean we have to kill every last one of them." But he added: “I want all this land to be ours.” After the founding of Israel in 1948, Jerusalem was divided in two: Israel controlled the western neighborhoods of the city, while Jordan controlled the largely Palestinian eastern part of Jerusalem. During the 1967 Middle East War, Israel captured East Jerusalem and…

George Bochetto, a Philadelphia lawyer who claimed to own the house with his late partner's widow, bought it in 2016 for $60,000. “It was abandoned for many years. It was run down,” Mr. Bochetto said in an interview Tuesday.

There was plenty of blame to pass around: the fans, the umpires, the team officials, the managers, local broadcasters and radio hosts. Oh, and according to one Cleveland resident, the real instigator causing that evening’s mayhem? The moon. And that’s not a reference to the fans who yanked down their pants and showed Rangers players their backsides. Fifty years ago, chaos descended upon Municipal Stadium on 10-Cent Beer Night.

For months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to offer a timeline for ending the war against Hamas in Gaza, a reticence that his critics see as a political tactic. But he was put in difficulty by President Biden's announcement outlining a proposed truce. Netanyahu, a conservative, has long juggled competing personal, political and national interests.
