Ser på Lånekassens satser og konstaterer at det ikke lenger er mulig for en ubemidlet norsk student å studere på gode universiteter i England. Skolepenger for en bachelor på OxBridge starter på NOK 575k per år, uten kost og losji. Lånekassen gir totalt 550k (190k stip + 360k lån)

What will it take to disarm Hamas?
Hamas could be open to a compromise that requires it to surrender “offensive” weapons only.

Will Trump’s deal lead to Hamas disarming in Gaza?
The US president said time was ticking — and he may yet give Israel the green light to continue the war — yet militants are back on the Strip’s streets

Sehr erhellender Artikel von @erikskare.no zur #Hamas. 🙏
Wie der 7. Oktober möglich wurde: Dem Terrorangriff gingen ein jahrelanger Prozess der Radikalisierung und ein Erstarken der Hamas-Hardliner voraus. Daran hatte auch die Politik der EU einen Anteil.

Ekte spørsmål: Jeg ser mange her som er veldig imot aldersgrense på sosiale medier pga man må identifisere seg. Og jeg er langt på vei enig! Samtidig mener jeg bestemt at det er et problem at 13-åringer (og mange yngre) har fri tilgang og får drap og porno i fleisen. Hvordan skal vi løse det? (1/2)

One thing people fail to understand.
In 1920, there were about 15 million Jews worldwide, and about 600k Palestinian Arabs.
Zionists were confident that several million Jews would eventually migrate to Palestine, which would have made them a clear majority.

Important piece about the realignment that is taking place in the Middle East as a result of Israel's new "forward defense doctrine." Since October 7, Israel has struck at least 6 countries in the region. Whereas Arab states used to be concerned about Iran, most regional actors now fear Israel.+
