Biden is in a quandary on Gaza. His legacy is “genocide,” says the progressive base. But Rep. Brad Sherman accuses “anti-Israel forces” of trying to “penetrate and muddy our national discourse.”

Longtime pro-Israel journalist Ira Stoll follows up a lot of “whispered speculation” to unearth NYT editorial page editor James Bennet’s religious background, as “crucial context” for understanding the paper’s bias on Israel. It turns out that Bennet’s Jewish mother who survived the Holocaust was married in a church, and he was too. And BTW, she likens Israelis to Nazis.
