NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani skips annual parade celebrating Israel

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not attend an annual parade honoring Israel Sunday, breaking with a decades-long political custom because of his support of Palestinian rights. Though it has gone by different names over the years, the Israel Day parade has always been a must-attend event for mayors, governors and other political leaders eager to win over the throngs of flag-waving revelers who congregate on Fifth Avenue to celebrate the birth of the Jewish state in 1948.

[사설]장벽 낮추는 담배, 청소년 보호에 집중을

오는 31일은 WHO(세계보건기구)가 정한 세계 금연의 날이다. 올해 주제는 '매력의 가면을 벗기고 니코틴·담배 중독에 맞서자(Unmasking the appeal - countering nicotine and tobacco addiction)이다. 담배와 니코틴 산업이 청소년들을 중독의 악순환에 빠지게 하기 위해 제품을 설계하고 있다는 사실을 알리고, 청소년들이 중독의 굴레에서 벗어나게 하자는 취지다. 담배·니코틴 산업은 맛과 향, 형태, 디자인을 바꾸고 온라인 노출을 늘려 젊은층에게 접근하는 방식을 택하고 있다. 과일향 등을 첨가한 가향담배는 국내 전체 담배 시장의 절반을 차지한다. 또 궐련 판매량이 감소하는 것과 반대로 전자담배 판매량은 급증하고 있다. 실제로 이는 청소년이 쉽게 흡연에 빠져들게 하는 요인이 된다. 2024년 청소년 건강패널조사 결과에 따르면 청소년 흡연자 77.3%가 처음 담배제품을 사용할 때 가향담배를 사용했다. 전반적인 청소년 흡연율이 최근 수년간 하락했지만 전자담배(액상형·궐련형) 사용률은 상승하는 추세다. 청소년 니코틴 중독이 과거와 다른 양상을 띠고 있음을 의미한다....

[Wang Son-taek] The futility of the ‘principal enemy’ debate

The debate over the “principal enemy” has resurfaced in Korean politics. The controversy arose amid the ongoing local election campaign.
