The fifth petition was filed on Monday by the Yisrael Beiteinu party and its faction whip, Oded Forer, against the sole Jewish candidate of the Hadash party, Ofer Cassif, a Tel Aviv University political philosopher with an LSE dissertation called On Nationalism and Democracy: A Marxist Examination, whose testimony against Israel in the International Court of Justice is justification, according to the brief, for stripping Ofer Cassif of his standing to serve in the Knesset.

So that becomes a much more complex story so that I don't know, and I haven't seen someone try to write a new survey history that talks about how those novels Influenced the later novels and the novels now of someone like my colleague Zachary Lazar Who's a Jewish novel who writes about Jewish gangsters at times? so I don't know but the fame of the the conduit would be the novels of Daniel Fuchs which take place in Williamsburg and there's always There's a trilogy and there's always a gangster character so it's now a much more complex story than it was and

They wanted to learn it.
Sarat ChandraGUEST
and they were there with us for one week and they learned the planning and i'm very happy to say they're from tel aviv university i'm very happy to say that they have done about five procedures and they're finding it very useful so that's the procedure which we created the way we do it is that we have a robotic system where we do the planning we plan everything so the robot moves to the area and it has a hole through which you can put in a two millimeters drill which is attached to a motor and we drill a hole in the brain and then through that we pass an electrode which is passed through a predetermined length and then we produce a burn and then we go on producing serial burns so so with this we are able to now use the radio frequency ablation in order to disconnect the abnormal hemisphere to the opposite side so we're not cutting it we are actually burning it the reason why we called it as roaches if you look up onto the website roach also stands for a very small arctic bird it's a very gentle and a small arctic bird and we thought that it gels well with the metaphor Because it's a technique which is very gentle on kids.
