A United Nations commission released a report Wednesday detailing acts of violence in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, accusing both sides of war crimes and arguing that the immense loss of life in the Gaza Strip constitutes a crime against humanity.The report consisted of two parallel investigations, one focused on the October 7 attack on Israel led by the Palestinian armed group Hamas, and the other on Israel's military response. It is one of the most detailed examinations of the conflict to date and provides legal analysis that is likely to be used in future criminal proceedings related to the war in Gaza.Here's a closer look at the commission's findings.What did the report find?According to the report, 800 civilians were among more than 1,200 killed by Hama...

I found Joy's naive quiver intensely endearing, but I, like many others, was a little terrified of her nose. Radio journalist Alix Spiegel met Joy several years ago for an article on NPR. Alzheimer's, which Joy can detect, runs in Spiegel's family. “If she smelled it, would I be able to tell?” Spiegel wondered in her report. “How good was her poker face?” It is Joy's policy not to reveal disease odors to people she meets, and she kindly evaded Spiegel's questions. Whatever the reason, she was more direct with me. One morning, in her living room, she commented, offhand, about my "strong masculine scent."I was horrified. “I didn't mean to bring this up,” I said.“No, no, it's not like that,” Joy assured me. “It's a normal male odor, almost like salt a...

“This is a video for anyone coming to the Paris 2024 Olympics,” one woman says in a clip posted to TikTok. She pauses briefly and then continues: “Don't come. Cancel everything."The video, uploaded in November, now has more than 700,000 views.The creator, Miranda Starcevic, is a 31-year-old French American living in Paris. She usually records herself speaking French, but she thought a message about the Olympics would reach more people if it were in English.And Starcevic wanted her viewers to know it from her point of view, that of French citizens who “belong to the middle class,” as she put it: “Nobody wants the Olympic Games. It's just a big mess.”As an international visual platform with many young users, TikTok is full of content about the Olympics. But beyond feel-good wind...

A facial recognition start-up accused of violating privacy in a class-action lawsuit has agreed to a settlement, with a twist: Instead of cash payments, it would give a 23% stake in the company to Americans whose faces are in its database.Clearview AI, which is based in New York, collected billions of photos from the web and social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram to create a facial recognition app used by thousands of police departments, the Department of national and the FBI. The New York Times revealed the company's existence in 2020, and lawsuits have been filed across the country. They were consolidated in federal court in Chicago as a class action.The litigation proved costly for Clearview AI, which would most likely have gone bankrupt before the case reached t...

But so far both sides have stopped well short of an actual war.The United States, France and other mediators, warning of the danger of regional war, have sought to push forward a diplomatic deal between Israel and H...

The United States and other major Western economies have agreed on a plan to issue a loan of about $50 billion to Ukraine that would be repaid from interest and profits on nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets held in the West.The promise of much-needed financial support for weapons and to begin rebuilding damaged infrastructure comes as Ukraine has been forced to sell some state assets and the momentum of the war on its soil has shifted in favor of its enemy, Russia , whose forces launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.President Biden agreed that the United States would underwrite the entire loan, but American officials said they expected allies, including members of the European Union, to provide some of the upfront funds.The loan would ultimately be repaid through interest and pr...

For a year now, two philosophy professors have been addressing prominent authors and public intellectuals with an unusual, perhaps heretical, proposal. They asked these thinkers if, for a nice fee, they wouldn't mind turning into AI chatbots.John Kaag, one of the academics, is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is known for writing books, such as "Hiking With Nietzsche" and "American Philosophy: A Love Story," that blend philosophy and memoir.Clancy Martin, Mr. Kaag's partner in the venture, is a professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and the author of 10 books, including "How Not to Kill Yourself," an unflinching memoir about his mental health problems and 10 suicide attempts. .The two became friends 14 years ago, when Mr. Kaag was struck ...
