As an Israeli fellow, I love the fact that

    The school will be operated with Technion-Israel 
    Institute of Technology

Does this mean they're going to claim the rest of the island as their own, then perhaps annex Brooklyn and the other outer boroughs?

You made me laugh, indeed!

Israeli high-tech is among the best in the world. May even be the very best per-capita when you consider the impact of a country of ~4 million. Incredible entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic.

Super excited about this. My company powers Cornell's online events calendar. Eager to plan how it will integrate!
