Letters: Hamas and Israel are at war. We must name their crimes.

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:39 GMT

Call war crimes by their nameThe Denver Post has reported that both Hamas and Israel have declared that they are “at war” with each other. But The Post has not properly labeled the murder and kidnapping of civilians by Hamas as a war crime. Nor has The Post identified the “total blockade” of food and water to the civilian population of Gaza as collective punishment and a war crime. Is there a particular reason for this? Just curious.Guy Wroble, DenverHamas crossed many lines this month, doing much more than attacking Israeli military forces. They murdered many civilians, kidnapped others, and threatened to execute their captives on live video streams. These actions are being condemned by virtually everyone. It makes me wonder how Hamas thinks that these atrocities will help their cause.It is understandable that in this context, Israel is seeking revenge, but attacking Gaza infrastructure and bombing civilian structures will not hurt Hamas. After all, Hamas re...

United Airlines rolling out new boarding plan that lets passengers in economy window seats on first

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:39 GMT

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN and DAVID KOENIG (AP Business Writers)United Airlines will start boarding passengers in economy class with window seats first starting next week, a move designed to reduce the time planes spend sitting on the ground.The airline said in an internal memo that it will implement the plan on Oct. 26. The plan – called WILMA, for window, middle and aisle — was tested at several locations and deemed to shave up to two minutes off boarding time.Variations of the WILMA approach have existed for many years.“It spreads people out along the aisle of the airplane so that more people can put their luggage away at the same time. That’s the main thing that speeds up the boarding process,” says Jason Steffen, an associate professor of physics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who designed his own boarding model a decade ago.The change will begin with passengers in the fourth boarding group. Customers in first class and business class will see no change in their routin...
