This! How is it possible that one of the most successful countries in getting European Research Council grants is Israel? How is elegible in the first place? Is European public money, it should only fund European research... this is still blowing my mind

Not just "Israel" in general, we are not talking about some random researcher studying frogs or something. The Israeli MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.

Controlling the narrative is powerful. It lets you get away with things you otherwise would not.
