Professor Rat, we should band together and start pounding the table to get answers on our Australian, Canadian and American colleagues lost yesterday.

Now Biden Must Show Netanyahu That Enough Is Enough

Now Biden Must Show Netanyahu That Enough Is Enough https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-04/biden-must-show-not-t… Whenever the world calms down to think clearly, it must apportion blame for the immense misery of the past six months. Hamas deserves the most, but Bibi and his right-wing coalition partners are due their share, as are other parties in the Middle East. By contrast, Biden, I believe, genuinely tried to empathize with all sides and to find a balance between justified Israeli self-defense and humanitarian restraint. But in that attempt he has failed, as Netanyahu repeatedly and brazenly snubbed and ignored him. UN resolutions and tense phone calls to Bibi are no longer enough. One of Biden’s predecessors, Bill Clinton, allegedly emerged from a meeting with Netanyahu in 1996, venting in frustration: “Who’s the f***ing superpower here?” If Netanyahu now ignores Biden and the Security Council and fails to cease fire, the US must vote to condemn Israel at the UN and immediately halt all shipments of arms.

The Sheikh Who Dominates One of the World’s Hottest Stock Markets https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-04-05/uae-s-sheikh-tahnoon-dom… The United Arab Emirates’ rulers will soon achieve a distinction they’ve long coveted.
