I'm currently enrolled in a US PhD program and my stipend is 40,000 per year. We are going to be receiving a raise to 47k-48k soon. Not sure when the GP did their PhD but times, prices, and stipends change quickly.

As to your other point, the US spends over twice as much as Canada on R&D as a fraction of GDP. In fact, in absolute numbers it is the world's greatest spender, and very high in relative terms as well. While I dislike the GOP's spending priorities as much as the next person, let's not jump onto every single issue with the same axe to grind.

Look at the 1948 UN map. A lot more than Gaza strip is Palestinian territory. Even the Israeli govt has a term - "Gaza envelope" for these areas. Security is higher and more troops positioned as they know these areas are legit targets for a military operation. Israeli laws are different for the "Gaza envelope" than for Israel proper. The attacks were in the "Gaza Envelope" which according to the UN 1948 borders are Palestinian territory.

And Israel was founded by Holocaust survivors. The survivors who survived by turning Judenrat and helping the Nazis to kill other Jews. Whats your point? Zionism and Nazism agree that Jews and non-Jews should not stay together in peace. One believes in a Chosen people and the other in a Master Race. Notice a pattern?

They protested against Zionist Israel. Thats almost an economic and career death sentence in the US where Industry and academia are both controlled by pro-Zionist establishment figures. Its almost as brave as protesting the Ayatollahs in Iran. The Zionists may not arrest and execute you but they will make your life so miserable you will wish they had.

The only internationally recognized borders of Israel are the 1948 UN ones. As per those borders Hamas on Oct 7 did not even enter Israel. It just arrested people who were illegally living on land which according to the UN recognized borders is Palestinian. As the elected authority in Palestine, Jamas has every legal right to arrest illegal settlers and to shoot anyone resisting arrest.
