Israel Adesanya tweeted ‘Quality over quantity’ alluding to Jon Jones’ tweet thread earlier in the day. Jones had drawn attention to his numerous title defenses, as compared to Khabib’s, while asserting his claim as the GOAT in the sport of mixed martial arts. Israel Adesanya seems to disagree with Jon’s claim, perhaps referring to the lack of depth in the Light Heavyweight division when Jon Jones reigned supreme. He may also be taking a dig at Jones’ lackluster performances in his last three outings....

Israel has accused Muntasser Shalaby of killing an Israeli student and wounding two others on May 2. Israeli forces demolished the two-story home—where his estranged wife and their three children lived—with controlled explosions Thursday. His wife, Sanaa Shalaby, tried to stop Israel’s plans to destroy the home with an appeal that was rejected. She said Shalaby barely resided there and mostly lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Shalabys all have U....

With eight students dead and nine more wounded, the attack was Jerusalem’s worst in four years. Tucker, like most Israelis, says he hopes his military will hit back hard–even if it’s not clear whether the gunman, an Arab from East Jerusalem, was working on his own.

The Sixers took Leonard and the Toronto Raptors the distance in their Eastern Conference semi-final series but fell to a 92-90 defeat in the decider on the road, with the crucial last-second shot bouncing four times on the rim before dropping in.

Jordi Bertomeu Farnos of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) stated that homosexuality and celibacy are not the causes of sexual abuse. Farnos based his conclusions on approximately 6,000 cases of abuse investigated by the CDF. He also served as a special investigator in the Chilean Catholic sex abuse cases. “There is no evidence that priestly celibacy directly causes any deviant sexual addiction, as evidenced by those cases of men or women who, due to life’s circumstances, must live as celibate,” Farnos wrote in the Spanish magazine Palabra....

Spalletti worked with Nainggolan at Roma until the Italian opted to leave the club at the end of last season.

It forever changed the galaxy, and it led to the destruction of the Jedi Order. It is a very interesting period of time, but there have not been many video games set during the era. Many Star Wars games seem to take place in the distant past or between the prequels and originals, and some have even explored the period before the sequels....

The Italians took the wooden spoon this year for the 13th time in 19 Six Nations, and the clamor has grown that they be substituted by Georgia, which has ruled the European second-tier championship.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte says the country “could not afford to wait for a vaccine.” Conte said: “We’re facing a calculated risk in the knowledge that the contagion curve may rise again. “We have to accept it otherwise we will never be able to start up again.” In a bid to restart the economy, businesses have been told they can reopen as long they can enforce tight sanitary protocols and keep people at least one meter apart....

Falling into the second tier of teams in the competition would ensure a less favourable draw for the Three Lions in Euro 2024 qualifying and compound a miserable run that has put manager Gareth Southgate on the defensive over his selections and tactics ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
