La ONU y otros grupos de ayuda se han negado a participar en el mecanismo porque —apuntan— viola los principios humanitarios. Señalan que permite a Israel usar la comida como un arma, forzando a la gente a moverse hacia los centros, lo que potencialmente vacía grandes extensiones de Gaza. También dicen que no puede satisfacer las enormes necesidades de la población.
“I’ve been to the 500. It’s crazy, so I can’t imagine all those people then coming over to Gainbridge (Fieldhouse). You know, going to be a rowdy crowd, going to be a little intoxicated. Who knows?” Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton said.“It’s going to be a special time. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
On the other side, Jalen Brunson was telling the Knicks’ fans to hang in there.New York’s first trip to the conference finals since 2000 is shaping up to be a short one. The starting unit has put the Knicks into quick deficits in both games and the Pacers’ huge depth advantage may have worn down the Knicks and led to their shaky play in both fourth quarters.Coach Tom Thibodeau played backup center Mitchell Robinson longer than All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns in Game 2 for better hope of stopping the Pacers, but that weakened his team offensively. The Knicks need to figure out the right combinations — if they have any — to both score with and slow down the Pacers.
“For me, what I want to say to them is obviously we’ve got to continue to fight,” Brunson said, when asked his message. “It’s going to take one day at a time, one game at a time. We can’t look ahead, we can’t think about anything other than Game 3 at this point.”The All-Star point guard has done his part, scoring 43 points in Game 1 and adding 36 more along with 11 assists in Game 2. But the Knicks went cold when he was on the bench to start the final 12 minutes and that turned out to be the decisive stretch of the game.
The Pacers don’t have those problems. Carlisle can go deep into his bench — even for players who hadn’t been in his recent rotation — and Indiana remains just as effective.
Carlisle has continuously called this a 13-day series, referring to the stretch between Game 1 and a potential Game 7 in New York on June 2. After tying K.C. Jones for 10th place on the career list with his 81st postseason victory Friday, he was still thinking that way.“It’s labeled as a language arts, you know, reading and writing program, but the content of the material is very sexual,” said Billy Moges, a board member of the parents group Kids First that formed in response to the addition of the books to the curriculum. “It is teaching human sexuality and is confusing kids, and parents are not comfortable having their children exposed to these things at such an early age.”
Dozens of parents testified at school board hearings about their religious obligations to keep their impressionable young children from lessons on gender and sexuality that conflicted with their beliefs.Moges said she pulled her three daughters, now 10, 8 and 6, from their public schools as a result. They were initially homeschooled and now attend a private Christian school, she said.
The school system declined to comment, citing the ongoing lawsuit.But in court papers, lawyers for the schools wrote that the handful of storybooks are not sex-education materials but “rather tell everyday tales of characters who experience adventure, confront new emotions, and struggle to make themselves heard.” The books touch on the same themes found in classic stories that include Snow White, Cinderella and Peter Pan, the lawyers wrote.
