‘From the river to the sea’: Why these 6 words spark fury and passion over the Israel-Hamas war

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:17:15 GMT

By LAURIE KELLMAN (Associated Press)The Jordan River is a winding, 200-plus-mile run on the eastern flank of Israel and the occupied West Bank. The sea is the glittering Mediterranean to its west.But a phrase about the space in between, “from the river to the sea,” has become a battle cry with new power to roil Jews and pro-Palestinian activists in the aftermath of Hamas’ deadly rampage across southern Israel Oct. 7 and Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” pro-Palestinian activists from London to Rome and Washington chanted in the volatile aftermath of Israel’s bloodiest day. Adopting or defending it can be costly for public figures, such as U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who was censured by the House on Tuesday.But like so much of the Mideast conflict, what the phrase means depends on who is telling the story — and which audience is hearing it.Many Palestinian activists say it’s ...

Stanford Cardinal sophomore making his defense-minded family proud on offense

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:17:15 GMT

STANFORD – Sam Roush seemed to follow his bloodlines when he was named the 2021 Tennessee Class AA co-defensive player of the year.Roush’s maternal great uncle is Pro Football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, who spent 15 years as a defensive tackle with the Los Angeles Rams. His maternal grandfather, Phil Olsen, also played defensive tackle in the NFL, while his father, Luke Roush, played safety at Duke.Roush had a breakout performance for Stanford last week that’d make his football-playing relatives proud – but it was on the other side of the ball, as a tight end. Roush led the team with seven catches for 61 yards in the Cardinal’s 10-7 win at Washington State.Stanford will likely need another big performance from Roush on Saturday if it hopes for another upset in the Pacific Northwest, this time as a three-touchdown underdog against No. 12 Oregon State (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network).Roush played tight end and defensive end in high school, and he said his defensive-minded family mem...
