Kingston protest calls for ceasefire and humanitarian aid for Palestinians

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:56 GMT

Hundreds gathered in front of Kingston’s city hall on Saturday afternoon in what was the largest protest for Palestinian solidarity that the city has seen to date. The protest was one of many throughout Canada and the world as international pressure demanding a ceasefire continues to mount from Palestinians and allies in all parts of the globe. Since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 killed more than 1,400 people, the response from Israel has been relentless and has been responsible for the deaths of over 10,000 Palestinians in the Gaza strip alone. While Israel military forces maintain that they are attempting to avoid civilian casualties in their pursuit of eradicating Hamas, advocates for a ceasefire are skeptical and looking for leaders and politicians to condemn the actions of Israel.In the past week, Israel bombed multiple refugee camps, saying that the targets were Hamas operatives but killing hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the process according to offici...

GOP Rep. Ken Buck plans to challenge party's direction under Trump as he leaves House

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:56 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ken Buck has had enough.When the Colorado Republican announced this past week that he would not seek reelection, he began with the type of criticism of Democratic policies that is standard fare for a hard-line conservative. But then Buck turned his ire to fellow Republicans, spending most of the three-minute announcement video accusing them of being “obsessively fixated on retribution and vengeance for contrived injustices of the past.”Buck's scorched-earth approach caught few on Capitol Hill by surprise.With a deadpan demeanor, an independent streak and a background as a federal prosecutor, Buck has gained national prominence as a House Republican fed up with Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden and the Trump allies in Congress who amplify them. It's a stand few others in the GOP are taking and is a remarkable turn that shows just how deeply Trump's once-fringe lies about that race have settled into the Republ...
