AUSTIN (KXAN) — Last Tuesday, a group of about 80 people gathered on UT's campus to honor victims in Israel and Palestine and to bring together students from Jewish, Arab and other backgrounds. It was held one month after the Israel-Hamas war began. The vigil was organized by student group Atidna International, which promotes dialogue among Arab, Jewish, Israeli and Palestinian students with chapters across the country. "There is probably never been a more divisive time in the history of the United States, with Jewish and Arab students specifically," Atidna at UT President Elijah Kahlenberg said. "So we wanted this vigil to be a space to recognize the humanity of the 'other' and to be able to bring together both groups in a shared pursuit of peace and, hopefully, reconciliation."Vigil at the University of Texas at Austin on Nov. 7 to honor victims in Israel and Palestine and to bring together Jewish, Arab, Israeli and Palestinian students.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) suggested Monday that Democrats may support the Republicans’ short-term funding bill to prevent a government shutdown — a sharp change of tone that could pave the way for easy passage when the bill hits the floor on Tuesday. In a letter to all House Democrats, Jeffries stopped short of saying party leaders are ready to endorse the GOP proposal, known as a continuing resolution (CR), which was introduced by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) over the weekend. But he also didn’t rule it out. “At this time, we are carefully evaluating the proposal set forth by Republican leadership and discussing it with Members,” Jeffries wrote.The letter marks a sharp change of tone from just last week, when Democratic leaders had skewered Republicans for floating a “laddered” budget approach, which carves government funding into separate pots to be considered on different timetables. Jeffries had characterized the idea as “another ext...Dry conditions increase fire risk this season as leaves fall
