25% want to annex Jewish settlements and the Jordan Valley in the West Bank even without US support
25% want it only with US backing
30% oppose it
The Trump plan also envisages negotiations leading to a Palestinian state under near-complete Israeli security control, creating what Palestinians leaders say would be an unviable country
Israeli cabinet minister Tzachi Hanegbi said on Army Radio on Wednesday that settlers need not worry “because there will never be” a Palestinian state. Israeli-Palestinian talks collapsed in 2014, part of a now-moribund peace process that began in the 1990s.
This week, Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz ordered the military to begin preparing for the consequences of annexation, which could stoke Palestinian unrest.

23andMe confirmed hackers used stolen credentials from other hacks to gain access to accounts, which a report says were then used to find and scrape other users’ information.
Dark matter might have its own force, mediated by dark photons similar to the way electromagnetism is mediated by photons. A new study shows that not only are dark photons consistent with experiments in particle physics, they could also solve the g-2 anomaly for muons.
Experimentally, g-2 = 0.00233184121. Theoretical calculations put g-2 = 0.00233183620. This is known as the g-2 anomaly and is beyond irksome. If you include dark photon interactions, the theoretical result becomes g-2 = 0.00233183939, which is significantly better. Overall, the dark photon model is preferred over the standard model at 6.5 sigma, which is a very strong result.
the biggest damage he's done is to faith in democracy
Trump supporters exposed to Trump’s norm-violating tweets were less likely to disagree with statement such as “Everyone should be allowed to vote” and “The more people participate in politics and elections, the better.” Trump’s general norm violations also decreased support for political equality among Trump supporters (e.g., “The government should never treat members of one religion differently than members of any other religion”).
“I’ll answer one question on the border wall: The border wall – the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn’t, they wouldn’t. And in the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can’t stop that,” Biden told reporters in the Oval Office.
Asked whether he believes the border wall works, Biden answered, “No.”
For tax years 1944 through 1951, the highest marginal tax rate for individuals was 91%, increasing to 92% for 1952 and 1953, and reverting to 91% 1954 through 1963.
According to Björn Höcke, the AfD’s parliamentary group leader in Thuringia, “This EU must die so that the real Europe can live.” And a strong AfD will almost certainly risk moving the Parliament’s right-wing faction even further to the fringes, and disrupt politics in Brussels.
Stanford published research last year that found that the highest level of corporate profits were concentrated in a small number of sectors saw the fastest rate of inflation, including oil and gas, mining, real estate and grocery.
“It wasn’t every company that hiked prices, it was the ones in the positions where they knew consumers had no choice but to pay. We’re talking about the food industry, the energy industry, auto makers and financial services,” he said.
Such policy moves will be more effective when the government has more forceful measures, such as the excess profits tax contemplated by the standing committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, in its back pocket, he added.
The study was unique in that the researchers also tested if participants could recall specific sights or sounds, known as implicit learning. They placed headphones on the patients during resuscitation and played three words — apple, pear, banana — and also used a tablet to display 10 images.
When asked if they remembered these, only one of the 28 patients who were interviewed correctly remembered the three-word sequence and none could recall the images. The research team also analyzed the recalled memories of 126 other cardiac arrest survivors who sent their experiences by mail or were in a community database.
There’s a battle over consciousness research – and whether it can be understood purely through science.
Opponents of IIT may in part be motivated by a desire to sharply distinguish the science from the philosophy of consciousness, thus ensuring the former is perceived – in particular by funders – as a serious scientific enterprise.
antihydrogen gravitation is the same as that of hydrogen, it falls downwards rather than rising, within the uncertainty limits of the experiment.
This means our research has empirically ruled out a number of historical theories involving so-called “anti-gravity” suggesting that antimatter would gravitate in exactly the opposite direction as normal matter.
However, some noted that it may be the historic nature of the resort, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1969, that makes it monetarily less valuable to a potential buyer.
"While $27 million is obviously an undervaluation, Mar-A-Lago can't be developed or turned into a single-family estate," James Surowiecki, a financial journalist, commented. "Its deed requires it to remain a club, which radically reduces its re-sale value."
Property listings company Zillow currently gives the estate an estimated value of $24.2 million. It fell into hot water in August after erroneously suggesting Mar-a-Lago had been sold for $422 million, prompting speculation.
Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago club, for example, was overvalued on one financial statement by as much as 2,300%, the judge found.
