Free European travel (4)

I believe the answer is:

' travel ' is the definition. (eg to ride a bus) ' free european ' is the wordplay. ' free ' becomes ' rid ' (to be free of something is to be rid of it) . ' european ' becomes ' E ' (abbreviation e.g. EU) . ' rid '+' e '=' RIDE '

(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Travel upon" , "badger" , "Journey on horseback" , "To control" , "Fairground entertainment" .)

By DEB AMLEN and SAM EZERSKY JULY 12, 2017

Learning to recognize the names of certain rivers and how they might be clued will help you with your crossword solving. Use this print-and-save list of European rivers that are frequently seen in crosswords to help take your puzzling to the next level.

We’re here to help you solve. What topics are on your list of crossword-solving weaknesses?

This Wordplay series takes a look at topics you might be fuzzy on that come up frequently in crossword puzzles, so that the next time you wonder which European river runs through Orsk (it’s the Ural), you’ll be able to fill it in with confidence.

We’ll also show you ways these names might be clued, so you’ll be able to recognize them the next time they come up. The clues that involve wordplay meant to trick you are bold , to make them easier to spot and so you can learn to think like the puzzle makers.

The Aare River, also spelled Aar, is a tributary of the Rhine River and the longest stream (183 miles (295 kilometers)) entirely within Switzerland. It rises in the Aare Glacier of the Bernese Alps in Bern canton, in the south-central part of Switzerland.

Below Brugg, the Reuss and Limmat rivers join the Aare before it enters the Rhine at Koblenz, Switzerland.

Possible clues : “Swiss river,” “Bern’s river,” “Rhine feeder,” “Interlaken’s river,” “River to the Rhine,” ” It has banks in Switzerland ,” “Sight from Bern,” “River from the Bernese Alps,” “Longest river entirely in Switzerland,” “It’s canalized at Interlaken.”

The Arno River, located in the Tuscany region of Italy, begins on the slopes of Monte Falterona in the Tuscan Apennines, flowing for 150 miles (240 kilometers) to the Ligurian Sea, receiving the Sieve, Pesa, Elsa and Era rivers along the way. It empties into the Ligurian Sea via a single mouth.

It is the second-most significant river of central Italy after the Tiber.

Possible clues : “Florence’s river,” “River through Florence,” “Ligurian Sea feeder,” “River of Pisa,” “River that can be seen from the Uffizi Gallery,” “1966 Florentine flooder,” “Oscar Wilde poem ‘By the ___,” “The Ponte Vecchio spans it,” “It flows near the Piazzale Michelangelo,” “It springs from Monte Falterona.”

Sources: Britannica.com , XWordInfo.com

The Ebro River is the longest river in Spain and receives water from more than 200 tributaries. The largest of these tributaries provide hydroelectric power and have been used for irrigation.

Possible clues: “River of Spain,” “Zaragosa’s river,” “Spain’s longest river,” “Catalonian river,” “River to the Mediterranean,” “River of Aragón,” “The Aragón River flows into it,” “Saragossa in on it,” “River that rises in Cantabria,” “River that ends in Tarragona,” “Iberian river.”

The Eder River is a tributary of the Fulda River which, in turn, is a tributary of the Weser River. The Eder joins the Fulda from the west, above the city of Kassel.

Possible clues: “River of Hesse,” “German river,” “Hessian river,” “River to the Fulda,” “Fulda tributary,” “Fulda feeder,” “Ems-Weser Canal feeder,” “River near Kassel, Germany.”

The Elbe River is one of the major waterways of central Europe, running from the Czech Republic through Germany to the North Sea. It is 724 miles long. One-third of it flows through the Czech Republic and two-thirds through Germany.

Possible clues: “Hamburg’s river,” “Dresden’s river,” “River to the North Sea,” “North Sea feeder,” “German river where American and Soviet forces met in 1945,” “ Hamburger’s course? ”

The Isère River is a tributary of the Rhône River. It is located in the Rhône-Alps region of southeastern France and runs near Val d’Isère, the host of the 1992 Olympic Winter Games.

ISÈRE may also be seen in crossword puzzles clued as the French department (administrative division) Val d’ISÈRE or as the frigate that brought the Statue of Liberty to the United States.

Possible clues: “Grenoble’s river,” “Rhône tributary,” “River to the Rhône,” “Rhône feeder,” “Alpine feeder,” “French river rising in the Alps.”

Source: Britannica.com , XWordInfo.com , Rafting.com

The Neva River is located in northwestern Russia, in Leningrad oblast or province. The city of St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) sits at the mouth of the river, at the head of the Gulf of Finland.

Possible clues : “St. Petersburg’s river,” “Gulf of Finland feeder,” “It has banks in St. Petersburg,” “River that flows by the Hermitage,” “Winter Palace river” “Leningrad’s river” (seen in puzzles prior to the city’s name change in 1991).

The Oder River ( Odra , Polish/Czech) is one of the most significant feeders of the Baltic Sea. It passes through the Czech Republic, forms a border between Poland and Germany, and empties into the Baltic Sea via a lagoon in the Polish city of Szczecin.

Possible clues : “Baltic Sea feeder,” “Frankfurt’s river,” “River to the Baltic,” “German border river,” “River of Brandenburg,” “Wroclaw’s river,” “The Warta’s outlet,” “German/Polish border river,” “European border river,” “River through Pomerania,” “Silesian river,” “Czech river.”

The Oise River rises in Belgium and flows through France to feed the Seine. Several battles in World War I were fought along its banks.

There is also a French department or province by the same name, and you might see it clued that way as well.

Possible clues: “River to the Seine,” “Seine feeder,” “Seine tributary,” “It rises in the Ardenne,” “River near Chantilly,” “French river,” “Belgian waterway,” “Île-de-France river,” “French flower,” “Compiègne’s river,” “Department north of Paris,” “Chantilly’s department,” “Department that is home to the Parc Astérix amusement park.”

Flowing from just outside Dijon to the English Channel at Le Havre, the Seine is arguably France’s most historic river. Major tributaries include the Oise River (see No. 9), also found prominently in crosswords, and the Marne River, which connects the Seine to the Rhine.

Its segment through Paris not only provides an iconic backdrop to the nation’s capital, it has also been an irrigational asset since the Middle Ages. 

Note: A “seine” is also a large fishing net used in shallow waters. Harder puzzles may clue SEINE this way instead.  

Possible clues: “Paris’s river,” “Paris divider,” “Île de la Cité locale,” “View from the Quai d’Orsay,” “What the Left Bank is a bank of,” “Site of two French banks,” “River flowing beneath Paris’s Pont Neuf,” “Subject of paintings by Corot and Manet,” “Fishing net.”

The Ural River shares its name with its northern terminus, the Ural Mountains, which divide Europe and Asia. It runs over 1,500 miles through Russia and western Kazakhstan and eventually feeds into the Caspian Sea.

Like many major rivers, the Ural has been used as a source of hydroelectric power; a dam and power station can be found in Iriklinsky, near Orsk.

Note: Crosswords clue URAL with respect to the mountain range as often as the river.

Possible clues: “River to the Caspian,” “Russian river,” “Caspian Sea feeder,” “Orsk’s river,” “River through Kazakhstan,” “River that Kazakhs call Zhayyq,” “Russia’s ___ Mountains,” “Range separating two continents,” “ Continental divide. ”

Relative to other rivers in this list, the Yser River is very short: at only 48 miles, it rises in France’s northern tip and flows into the North Sea at Nieuwpoort, Belgium.

The Yser is most notable for hosting a World War I battle between the Belgian and German armies. For over two weeks, German forces fought with the Allied resistance to advance toward France, yet they were thwarted after the local sluices were flooded.

Possible clues: “River of Flanders,” “North Sea feeder,” “Belgian river,” “W.W. I battle site,” “Nieuwpoort’s river,” “Scene of heavy W.W. I fighting,” “Battle of the ___, 1914,” “European river that connects a network of canals.”

Reporter's Notebook: College campus protests over Gaza spread overseas

From london to geneva, demonstrators are rallying over the israel-hamas war. but some european nations have tried to restrict protests. one palestinian lawmakers predicts campus protests will spread..

From London to Geneva, dueling groups of pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrators in Europe have for months been holding solidarity rallies, marches and vigils in connection with the Israel-Hamas war .

But for the most part they haven't looked like the Columbia University protest encampments and confrontations, which now appear to be spreading to other U.S. universities.

From Oct. 7 last year to mid-April, there have been more than 3,100 demonstrations in Europe related to the war in the Gaza Strip. In the U.S., over the same period, there have been about 2,700 such events, according to data provided by ACLED, an organization that tracks and analyzes global political activity and violence .

Pro-Palestinian protesters have demanded a cease - fire in the Gaza Strip and more aid for suffering Palestinians, called on their governments to stop supplying arms to Israel , and urged other forms of divestment. Some pro-Palestinian protesters have also appeared to glorify Hamas and drawn comparisons between Israel's government and the Nazis. Pro-Israel demonstrations have focused on raising awareness about Israel's hostages held by Hamas and combating what they say is antisemitism that has made Jews feel less safe all around the wor l d .

But unlike in the U.S., where some of the most prestigious universities have been trying to defuse campus tensions over the war , standoffs on European college campuses have either appeared limited or have flown under the radar.

Precisely why that is, political experts and campaigners say, is not easy to explain.

They say it could be because of different protesting cultures, demographics, speech laws, university regulations, policing habits, lack of viral traction on social media where many people receive their news, and even opportunity. Some European governments have actively sought to place restrictions on the right to protest in support of Palestinian rights. Some say these standoffs have taken place and the media has largely ignored them.

Pro-Palestinian protests every Saturday in London

Matt Beech, who directs the Center for British Politics at the University of Hull, said one reason there may be fewer combative on-campus protests in the U.K. compared with the U.S. could be because there are regular, larger-scale demonstrations, most of them pro-Palestinian, in London and other British cities each Saturday.

At these marches in London, which are routinely attended by tens of thousands of people, Beech said "students may feel they are making a difference and having their voices heard" as part of a bigger protest community, where they have a bigger audience.

The frequent pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel rallies in the U.S., by contrast, have not matched the ones in London each weekend.

Beech, who also sometimes lectures and teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, said the First Amendment may also explain why some U.S. campuses have erupted, and Britain's haven't, over the Israel-Hamas war.

'Robust exchanges' in the U.S. are not exactly 'parliamentary language'

The First Amendment, he said, allows students in the U.S. to engage publicly in what Beech described as "robust exchanges" involving "unparliamentary language."

Hate speech laws in the U.K. may act as a deterrent on what people are willing to say in a campus environment, when these statements can easily slide into Islamophobia and antisemitism, as both sides in the U.S. campus protests say.

Government action in Europe may also be a factor .

In Germany, which has long viewed itself as having a unique responsibility to stand up for Jews and Israel because of the Holocaust, officials have repeatedly refused to authorize many pro-Palestinian protests, saying limits are needed to prevent public disorder and antisemitism.

German police cleared a small group of pro-Palestinian protesters who set up a camp Friday outside Germany's Parliament in Berlin, apparently inspired by the U.S. campus protests.

In France, home to large Muslim and Jewish communities, a series of legal proceedings ended with courts deciding to allow protests on a case-by-case basis after authorities said they could lead to incitement to hatred.

Threats of visas getting revoked for praising Hamas

In Britain, officials have threatened to revoke visas or expel foreign students who praise Hamas . The country has also given police new powers to arrest protesters who threaten or intimidate others during marches amid a large increase in antisemitic incidents since Oct. 7.

Stella Swain, a youth and student coordinator for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign , which describes itself as Europe's largest Palestinian advocacy organization, nevertheless said there have been student "occupations" of university campuses in the U.K. and elsewhere − it's just that nobody has paid much attention.

Swain pointed out that student protesters at Goldsmiths, University of London, shut down some of the college's departments for more than a month earlier this year.

The students demanded that the university cut all its ties with Israel's government and divest from companies that support Israel's military occupation of Palestinian territory. Similar protests have taken place in British colleges in Bristol and Leeds.

However, Swain said, it would be "very unusual" for British police to be called to a "student occupation," as has happened at Columbia, Yale, New York University and other elite U.S. college campuses in recent days.

She also claimed that there has been a "concerted effort" by British authorities over the past decade to "shut down the ability to organize" protests and other advocacy on Palestinian-related issues.

The protests in the U.K. and Europe, on and off campus, have not, in other words, been tension-free even if ACLED data show the vast majority − more than 90% − have been peaceful. (The figure for the U.S. is similar.)

One example: Pro-Palestinian activists in early April attempted to block an event at Sorbonne University in Paris about the rights of Israeli and Iranian women. It was organized by the Union of French Jewish Students. Protesters carried a banner that read " Zionists, fascists out of our campuses! "

'Openly Jewish'

It has also often been difficult to distinguish good information from bad.

In mid-March, about 100 students from the elite French university Sciences Po were accused of trying to prevent a Jewish student from entering the college as part of a pro-Palestinian demonstration. Some claimed the student had been confronted because she had intimidated pro-Palestinian students. Either way, it drew a reaction from French President Emmanuel Macron , an of alum of Sciences Po, who said it was "perfectly intolerable."

On Friday, Sciences Po students blocked access to a campus building, prompting administrators to move all classes online.

And in Britain, an antisemitism campaigner named Gideon Falter called last weekend for London's most senior police official to resign after an officer described Falter as "openly Jewish." At the time, the officer was trying to prevent Falter from "provoking" a pro-Palestinian march by crossing its route in central London. Falter, CEO of Campaign Against Antisemitism, had been wearing a yarmulke.

“What happened to me was a disgrace. Imagine what it felt like to be told by police officers that being ‘quite openly Jewish’ would ‘antagonize’ people and so I must leave the area on pain of arrest," Falter said in a statement after the incident.

London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley acknowledged that the officer's use of the phrase "openly Jewish" was "clumsy and offensive," but he insisted his officer was trying to keep Falter safe and do the right thing. Police released a 13-minute video of the incident this week to British media to give context to a 55-second clip released by Falter. In the video, the officer and Falter appear to have a nuanced, polite conversation.

In an emailed statement on Wednesday, Campaign Against Antisemitism said "the hatred and objectives of antisemites on campuses in the U.K. is the same as in the U.S.: to intimidate Jewish students and ostracize them."

But Palestinian lawmaker Mustafa Barghouti disagreed with that assessment. He said in a WhatsApp message Thursday that the college campus protests in the U.S. resembled protests and activism against the war in Vietnam and South Africa's anti-apartheid movement.

"It will spread," he predicted, "to other universities in the world."
