If Biden would have turned against Israel in 2024, anti-Democrat
activists like Dan Froomkin would now be attacking him and Harris over
sacrificing Jewish-American support in 2024 sadly. It's what they are
paid to do unless it's just their hobby to fit in on the oligarchs’ social
media.

The author(s) seem relieved that Biden did not, ultimately, force
Israel to end the war in Gaza in spring 2024. If he had, it would have
saved something like 40,000 Palestinian lives and 50,000 Gazan
buildings. An eternal stain on Biden's legacy.

The death of famed biologist Paul Ehrlich on March 13 at 93 has occasioned a flurry of commentary in the press and on social media, some of it thoughtful, some of it scurrilous, and most of it insufficiently attentive to his remarkable contributions to science and to public awareness of the environmental threats faced by humanity.
