Loved Ones

ACROSS 75 YEARS, ISRAEL HAS BUILT itself around a military so formidable in battle that the country qualifies as a warrior state. But for the 2,000 years before that, the story of the Jews was one of perseverance through persecution, flight, and the kind of intimate, house-to-house slaughter Israelis awoke to on the morning of Oct. 7.

Seeing Gaza

SAHER ALGHORRA HAS LONG LOVED TO DOCUMENT both the beauty and challenges of life in Gaza. That's what first drove the 27-year-old Gaza native to become a photojournalist. But even Alghorra-who has already lived through the devastating 2008 and 2014 Gaza-Israel conflicts was not prepared for what has transpired this month. \"The humanitarian situation here is extremely catastrophic,\" Alghorra tells TIME.

A boost for Poland's democracy, and the E.U.

IN POLAND, AN UNEXpected surge of voters ready for change has ousted a populist coalition government in favor of a pro-E.U., more moderate group of leaders. The Law and Justice Party, in power since 2015, won the most parliamentary seats. But its coalition partners didn't perform well enough to allow current Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to form another government.

THE CASE FOR ANXIETY

Anxiety. The very word evokes discomfort. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, half of young American adults deal with it, so it's no wonder that this epidemic is causing us so much concern. But, as a clinician and researcher, I see a much bigger problem: in our society's quest to be anxiety-free, we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this normal human emotion.

Eco-Friendly Cruises and Activities

Cruises are not traditionally the most sustainable way to travel. Ships carrying thousands of people burn millions of gallons of gasoline to traverse destinations far and near, while endless dinner buffets result in tons of waste from food and garbage, which is often dumped into the water, causing pollution and endangering sea life. Their sheer size is greatly disruptive to nature as they travel to port. But a new generation of cruise ships is flipping the script, providing eco-friendly travel to lively destinations with a focus on sustainability alongside fun and exploration. That means working with local artisans, eliminating single-use plastics, minimizing carbon footprints, focusing on environmentally friendly excursions and working to preserve and protect wildlife.
