My understanding was that she used up the grant money and/or overextended the term of her scholarship without graduating.
It was a little hazy, tho
This is welcome news, but it still feels bizarre that people continue to act as though the settlements are part of a black market criminal operation. These are just private contractors of the Israeli government. You can't cut ties with the settlements while remaining in bed with the Israeli government than you can forgo using using one half of a hammer.
This article is better than I expected.
I thought it was going to be overly credulous nonsense about what the strategy is for an operation that is clearly a purely selfish gimmick to keep Bibi in power at the expense of Israel's long term reputation, security, and stability.
Overall, this author appears to be using dry sarcasm to allude to the fact that the emperor obviously has no clothes.
It makes me sad that Jewish Israelis let Bibi puppeteer them like this. It's unfortunate, and it reminds me that at least until something changes, change will have to come from abroad. I think American Jews are probably the greatest hope for an intervention. But it's not a hopeful situation.
Honestly, I don't think this is really correct. It's not a bad take, I just think the truth is that no one really wants more than violence for the sake of power.
Iran has never really supported Palestine, they just arm anyone who will attack Israel. And claiming that Netanyahu wants to install a puppet leader is giving him away too much credit. He wants nothing more than an indefinite war so he can start in power. He'll fight in Iran until something shocking happens like a terrorist attack from the West Bank and then he'll shake the etch a sketch and do all this again. And again. And again. Until anyone with sufficient power stops him.
This is silly.
First, I don't know why you're using the past tense. I don't call water "wetted" I call it "wet". And while I wouldn't call fire "burned", I would call it "burning".
But here's the thing: you're welcome to have your idiosyncratic opinion on this. The fact that you seem to want me to argue my side when I feel perfectly comfortable letting you have a subjective opinion most people consider ridiculous says to me that (A) you know which one of us holds the broadly agreed upon position and (B) this isn't about resolving a dispute. It's just online debate for sport.
Enjoy believing a hotdog is a sandwich. Sleep well in your claims that cereal is a soup. I'm not going to explain to you why water is wet because it's a waste of my time.
Most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other sensation.
But if you define wet as ‘made of liquid or moisture’, as some do, then water and all other liquids can be considered wet.
So... by a highly common definition it is wet. That's not much of a debate.
There are plenty of words that mean different things in scientific contexts that are different from common use. It's like saying "the sky is blue" is a false statement. Yes, there are contexts where the sky isn't blue. At night. On other planets. Perhaps earlier periods in our planet's history. But are we in those contexts right now? And is my meaning ambiguous?
There are a lot of times where language is unclear, and we must work to bridge communication barriers. But to insist on debating things when no genuine confusion is present is just an a bizarre antisocial practice.

I've gotta say that MCU armor peaked around Iron Man 2. And I'm disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to finally return to greatness.
I don't mind high-tech armor, but I was so disappointed that we see her donning high tech shiny self-assembling armor in the first few minutes of the show.
I miss the gantry. I miss the sense that it was a physical thing. Imagine the prop artists preparing the parts of Riri's suit that weren't pure CGI. The casting and the polishing and the fingerprint removal before she put it on. How about this? Actually design a suit. Imagine you had a high enough power source to power it and repulsors exist. What would it look like? Imagine something like Andrea Piccinno's exo frame with some plating and a motorcycle helmet. Remember the Mark 1? Remember watching the firmware boot up on an old CRT monitor while Yinsin sacrificed himself to buy Tony time?
I feel like what I'm saying is straight-up CRAZY to the people who make these shows. But PLEASE: if you must, work up to the fancy polished CGI stuff by the end! Let us see something that looks a kinda real. Let her impress us by showing us stages of development instead of literally starting with a product that is finished and capable of cross country flight!
Bring back a gantry. Or let us see her step in and tighten a harness! I feel like if these people were in charge of Top Gun, everyone would get in planes by just running onto an air ram in street clothes and getting launched into the cockpit while the plane is flying. 'Flight suit? Ladder? No, audiences will be bored.'
It really disappoints me that this show is dismissing this opportunity. We got a glimmer of it in Wakanda Forever, but oh well.
