In an excerpt from an upcoming book detailing interviews with Pope Francis, the pope stated that an investigation should be conducted in the Gaza Strip to determine if the Israeli military’s attacks on the region fit the definition of genocide. While the pope has been a longtime advocate for a ceasefire in the Middle East, this is the first time he has openly acknowledged the possibility of genocide in the Palestinian territory.

"According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide," wrote Pope Francis in the book. "It should be carefully investigated to determine whether it fits into the technical definition formulated by jurists and international bodies."

OPINION: We hear about it in love songs, see it on the big screen — maybe you’ve even experienced it firsthand — but falling in love with people you can’t stand is a tale as old as time. I read a quote scrolling on Instagram from the book "Solitaire" by Alice Oseman that read, “I'm a little bit in love with everyone I meet.”

I find it — especially recently — very difficult to form connections with people who hold intolerant beliefs. Politics aside, though, I know we each have inherent value as beings. We all have people who love us regardless of the beliefs we hold because, in the end, true love is unconditional.

As a person with such strong political opinions, I wanted to try — just for a week — to walk Oseman’s path and fall a little bit in love with every person I met, even if I genuinely couldn’t stand them.

BLUFF: Registration for the spring 2025 semester has passed which means you’re either happy with how your schedule turned out, or you’re still waiting on emails from professors to see if they’ll let you into their class.

However, if you need something other than “Elf” and the first two “Home Alone” films that you’ve seen a million times, don’t waste any more time scrolling through Netflix’s endless selection of romantic comedies featuring a couple wearing red and green.
