Support for a new generation of Palestinians

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, February 28, 2018

On March 11, 2018, Ahed Tamimi — a Palestinian girl who was just 16 at the time of her arrest — is scheduled to appear for her second military court hearing. Ahed’s arrest followed a video that went viral of her slapping and pushing an Israeli soldier who was coming onto her property. Ahed faces

Jerusalem for all

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, January 23, 2018

President Donald Trump announced Dec. 6 his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and to move the U.S. Embassy from its current location in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This act marks a decisive break with decades of U.S. policy on the status of Jerusalem, specifically not recognizing exclusive Israeli

The false notion of moral equivalence

Eddie Damstra | Wednesday, March 1, 2017

One of my biggest reservations with President Obama was the manner in which his administration handled relations with Israel. From negotiating a deal that gives Iran, whose leadership vows to destroy the state of Israel, a path to nuclear weapons to refusing to veto a U.N. resolution condemning Jewish settlement activity, President Obama and his

Don’t stand with the oppressor

Letter to the Editor | Friday, April 15, 2016

On April 8, Notre Dame’s Center for Civil and Human Rights (CCHR) hosted George Deek, a representative of Israel’s Foreign Ministry. Deek’s narrative denied Israel’s relentless attempts to rebut the rights of the Palestinians, and it discredited the Palestinian struggle for justice and equality. During his talk, he presented Israel as a bastion of diversity

Presidential procrastination on foreign policy

Christopher Newton | Monday, October 6, 2014

A Sunday after a home-game win: as always, a time for procrastination and limited productivity. The Irish won this weekend and advanced to the top five, so why worry about applications, theses and editorial columns?  There’s a Bar Rescue marathon on Spike that needs your undivided attention for what some might call an excessive number

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
