The blank check to Israel goes on

Israel won’t let the most promising Palestinian university students leave the Gaza Strip. So, the U.S. has withdrawn their Fulbright scholarships.

Of course, U.S. and Israeli officials are now obliquely pointing fingers at each other. That will go on just long enough for the media to forget about the issue and Washington to cut another no-strings check to Tel Aviv.
