一 | 每日商报讯八月杭州暑气蒸腾，来自千里之外恩施武陵山区的清凉邀约款款而来。 NEW YORK -- Paddy Cosgrave, the chief executive officer of a prominent European tech conference called Web Summit, resigned from his role on Saturday amid backlash for his public statements that suggested Israel was committing war crimes.A spokesperson for Web Summit, which organizes one of the world's largest tech conferences every year, said in an e-mailed statement sent to The Associated Press that it will appoint a new CEO, and the conference will go ahead next month in Lisbon as planned. Cosgrave, the Irish entrepreneur who is also founder of Web Summit, said in a statement Saturday that his personal comments “have become a distraction from the event, and our team, our sponsors, our startups and the people who attend.”“I sincerely apologise again for any hurt I have caused,” he said.Cosgrave’s resignation is a prominent example of the fallout from the Israel-Hamas war that has spilled into workplaces everywhere, as top leaders of prominent companies weigh in with their views while workers complain their voices are not being heard. Islamic rights advocates say much of the corporate response has minimized the suffering in Gaza, where thousands have died in Israeli airstrikes, and created an atmosphere of fear for workers who want to express support for Palestinians. Jewish groups have criticized tepid responses or slow reactions to the Oct. 7 Hamas rampage that killed 1,400 people in Israel and triggered the latest war.Web Summit faced a growing number of industry giants — including Intel, Meta and Google — pulling out of the conference even after Cosgrave released a long message denouncing the Hamas attacks and apologizing for the timing of his initial tweet while defending his overall views on the conflict. Cosgrave posted on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 13 that he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland’s government, who for once are doing the right thing. ”“War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are,” he added.Two days later, he updated his tweet calling “what Hamas did is outrageous and disgusting” but adding, "Israel has a right to defend itself, but it does not, as I have already stated, have a right to break international law." In a later apology that was posted Oct. 17 on the Web Summit blog and shared on his X account, he said, “What is needed at this time is compassion, and I did not convey that,” he said. “My aim is and always has been to strive for peace.”He went on to say that “I also believe that, in defending itself, Israel should adhere to international law and the Geneva Conventions – i.e. not commit war crimes. This belief applies equally to any state in any war. No country should breach these laws, even if atrocities were committed against it.”His last post on X read: “Bye for now. Need some time off this platform.”______Follow Anne D’Innocenzio: http://twitter.com/ADInnocenzio。昨天，湖北省恩施州第五届“凉交会”落地杭州，以“趣恩施嗨一夏”为主题，把土家山水、民族风情搬到钱塘江边，给杭州市民带来实打实的避暑游玩选择，也为杭恩革命老区对口合作写下文旅篇章。不少杭州市民已经提前在家门口邂逅恩施风情。8 月 11 日，西湖柳浪闻莺、武林广场上演民族快闪秀。耳熟能详的《龙船调》、古朴的傩乐、热情的摆手舞轮番上演，土家山歌回荡在城市街头，路过的市民纷纷停下脚步拍照打卡。武林广场的展台更是热闹，西兰卡普织锦、傩戏文创产品一件件摆开展示，富硒茶叶、特色农产品可供市民品鉴，不用远行，就能近距离感受恩施少数民族文化。对杭州市民来说，这次活动最实在的，就是游玩福利与游玩选项。恩施带来丰富的夏日玩法：既能走进恩施大峡谷、腾龙洞，探秘喀斯特奇山异洞；探访唐崖土司城址，品读土司历史；也可以奔赴屏山峡谷，打卡水清如镜的“人间仙本那”；还能去苏马荡等避暑度假区，躲进森林里纳凉康养，体验恩施玉露茶文化，感受土家民俗烟火。全州拥有 3 家 5A、27 家 4A 景区，森林覆盖率近 70%，一年 350 天以上空气优良，是夏天避暑的好去处。在浙江展览馆举办的交流会上，两地文旅部门、文旅企业坐在一起对接客源互送、共推旅游线路。恩施 24 家景区专门面向杭州市民放出专属优惠政策，实实在在给杭州游客送上避暑礼包，降低大家前往恩施游玩的出行成本。
