Newsweek: What data do you have that suggests Jews are dovish on matters of peace between Israel and the Arabs? Ben-Ami: I think on most polls, no matter how they’re worded, you find plurality or majority support for the notion that there should be a two-state solution, that there has to be an end to the occupation and a Palestinian state. So I think the gap we’re trying to fill is whether that needs to be the centerpiece of American policy towards Israel or just an afterthought....

The 28-year-old, who scored one goal in three appearances for his country at Euro 2016, primarily lines up on the left flank but also has experience playing on the right and centrally. D.C. United are 5/4 with dabblebet to beat Real Salt Lake “We are thrilled to be getting a high-level player in the prime of his career with top-level experience in the German Bundesliga and with the Hungarian national team,” United general manager Dave Kasper said in a news release....

Can preschool really give your child an edge in college admissions 14 years down the road? “My answer is yes and no,” says Lydia Spinelli, director of the prestigious Brick Church preschool. “No one is going to ask you on a college application where you went to nursery school.” But from the right preschool, it’s off to the right kindergarten and right first grade. “Parents do see it as getting on the right track,” she says....

In footage shared to the social media site by Daneandadoxie on June 25, the sweet animals, also known as sausage dogs, can be seen paddling about in an inflatable pool. The pets are lowered into the water by humans from opposite sides of the pool, and proceed to play about together. The camera then cuts to one of the dogs, whose name is Otis, being walked on a lead through the water, which means it must be very shallow to account for Dachshunds’ famously shorter legs....

Alex Preston took to Reddit to share a screenshot of the assignment set by his son’s middle school English teacher asking pupils to read the Tupac poem The Rose that Grew from Concrete and analyze the metaphor behind the late rapper’s words. One of the most popular and influential rappers of the 1990s, Tupac was fatally shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7, 1996. He was just 25 years old....

Justin Kanew drew widespread praise after a video of his speech was posted to Twitter in which he explained: “Avoiding masks is not in the Bible but taking care of others is.” Kanew, who is father to a 5-year-old girl just starting school, made the remarks during a Williamson County Board of Education meeting. The meeting was held a week after the Williamson County School Board voted in favor of making it a requirement for all students, staff and visitors to wear masks, following a large spike in COVID-19 cases across the state....

In a post shared on Reddit’s popular Am I The A**hole page, which can be seen here, user u/Dadofthree explained he was a single father with three sons, one of whom is Connor, 15, who was born female and came out as transgender five years ago. The dad, 45, added he and his sons had been invited to his 35-year-old sister’s wedding and said she was “pretty indifferent” about Connor’s transition....

Seven years later, the severed arms of Daewoo have come back to life. Overhauled by creditor banks, Daewoo’s shipyard and trading subsidiaries are enjoying record profits. The auto unit is thriving and has hired back all 1,600 workers it fired after the crisis, in contrast to continuing job losses at its new owner, GM. Kim, who returned last year after six years of hiding overseas, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail and a $22 billion fine, but buyers are still vying for units of his dismantled empire....

Like you, I’ve been running and re-running my projections, checking my auction values, and tiering my rankings in anticipation of my upcoming drafts. I love the season-long game and I always will, but truth be told, I’m becoming more and more DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) focused as the years go by. It’s the perfect supplement to season-long fantasy, and its recent spike in users backs that up. If you’re on the fence, or wanting to find out more details around the nuances of daily fantasy, I’m here to help....

The Red Sox draw a good matchup against Wade Miley of the Orioles and should be the chalk stack of the night. The Diamondbacks also draw a great matchup, as they get Jeff Locke of the Marlins, who makes his first start of the season. And finally, the narrative of the night is Albert Pujols, as he goes for home run number 600 in a favorable matchup against the Twins....

It’s entirely possible these pitchers have good outings. After all, there isn’t much of a scouting report for the batters to go on. But it’s also possible that Snell and Vargas, no matter how accomplished they were in the minors, very quickly find out how different it is pitching to major league batters. Pretty much every key player from the Yankees (vs. Snell), Cardinals (vs. Vargas), and Royals (vs. Wilson) should be given extra consideration in FanDuel and DraftKings contests today....

We started our FanDuel tournament lineup by deciding to go with a Rangers’ primary stack and a Pirates (yes, Pirates) mini-stack. The latter just sort of happened; the former was calculated. We blame no one for stacking Rockies and Nationals or even D-backs and Padres in Arizona (the latter being quite the contrarian play against Zack Greinke), but we like lefthanded Rangers at home against Phil Hughes. If you don’t already know why, you’ll find out in a minute....

Some fan criticism was based on apparent false marketing and failed promises, or unfair vitriol because of personal disappointments, though other complaints centered on Cyberpunk 2077’s actual shortcomings. No game is ever going to be perfect or manage to please every single gamer, and there are inevitable differences in opinion when it comes to how games can be improved. While Cyberpunk 2077 certainly has its fans and has a good deal of aspects to recommend it, some feel that it should have incorporated more elements from the original Cyberpunk tabletop RPG that inspired it....

However, if a recent post from the NeoGAF user Nirolak is to be believed, then fans should expect to see Cyberpunk 2077 incorporate flying vehicles. This notion is due to the fact that CD Projekt Red is hiring a Gameplay Programmer to join its studio in Warsaw to cooperate with Gameplay & Level Designers to “create the whole architecture of vehicle related code, and the physics of driving/flying in those vehicles....

One of the fan’s most beloved characters is Lucy, the mysterious beauty. She started out as a supporting character whose job is simply to show the ropes to David. Overtime, she grows into one of the most essential characters in the series. So let’s use this chance to dive deeper into Lucy’s past, from childhood and all the way to the time she joined Maine’s crew. RELATED: The Perfect Anime For Fans of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners...

The Ascent takes place in a dystopian world of megacorps and towering neon-lit skyscrapers. This year’s E3 trailer gives fans another taste of its stylish combat engine, as well as announcing an imminent July 29th release date. RELATED: The Ascent Interview: Dev Talks Challenges, Sci-Fi Elements, and More “Team up, tool up, rise up, and fight” is the trailer’s slogan as it shows off the game’s battles and environments. Those eight words may as well be the title’s mission statement....

Old-fashioned travelers might bristle at the fact that this is a cyberspace beach resort, and the beauties dancing on the sand are actually the animated avatars of people sitting behind computer screens (and probably wearing sweat pants). But to the more than 5 million players in the absorbing world of the online game Second Life (SL), where the shimmering oasis exists, this is nothing less than a real vacation. Cyber-resorts, they argue, come with all the escapist benefits of any real-world holiday: a new perspective, stunning scenery and plenty of ready romance....

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s track cycling golden girl Laura Kenny says drastic changes to the omnium event she has owned at the past two Olympics have left her scratching her head. Her name was not the only thing different as she cranked back into action at the Revolution Series in London’s velodrome on Friday - her first race since winning team pursuit and omnium gold in Rio as Laura Trott....

Did you ever think a project like this would come along? Never. But I’m the person who hasn’t seen this at any step. I never expected I would get cast, I never expected it would really be a hit, much less the hit that it is, I never expected that we would make a film, then make another film, or that we would come back now. I don’t know where Sarah Jessica would place herself on this trajectory, but I think, in my mind anyway, Kristin Davis is the person who has always believed....
