The procedure, which involved injecting the gene directly into the brain of the patient – 4-year-old Adiroop Kumar from India – lasted seven hours, and with the cost of 10 million shekels ($2.7 million) per vial was the single most expensive single surgery ever performed in Israel.

Biden's reelection campaign
For all you naïve political readers I will explain the true significance of the Trump indictment
It is not a Republican party purge as Tucker Carlson claimed. It is part of the new Democratic campaign strategy.
The idea is very simple - get the Republicans to choose their weakest candidate so the Democrats will win in the general elections. This has already been noted by Wall Street Journal and others.
It worked well in the mid term elections
In summary, Trump is clearly the weakest and most disliked candidate with a clear history of losing in the general elections so it is important to try to get him to be the Republican choice, The indictment is a major step to that goal

Throughout the war, Germans in Switzerland continued to be active in the Nazi party, and continued to display their Nazi sympathies. And the Swiss, hoping as usual to stay out of the fighting, made compromises with Berlin, banking Nazi gold, and turning away Jewish refugees.

Multiple fundraising emails describe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as "bought-and-paid-for" by George Soros, a Jewish billionaire and Democratic mega-donor who frequently features in right-wing conspiracy theories.
The emails warn that "these truly are dark times for our country" and claim that Trump was indicted for "committing no crime" at the direction of "the radical Left, the Deep State, the Open-Borders Lobby, and Soros' globalist cabal."
Haredi parties were at forefront of overhaul push. Then they weren’t. What changed?
Over the past week, as the government’s judicial shakeup ground to a dramatic (if temporary) halt amid ever-growing opposition and the coalition’s own profound political errors, something strange happened to Benjamin Netanyahu’s Haredi coalition partners, the parties Shas and United Torah Judaism.
Everyone suddenly noticed that they had transformed from the most avid supporters of the sweeping judicial reform to the most pragmatic and moderating influence in the coalition.

Why The World Looks at the Trump Case and…Yawns
https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-the-world-looks-at-the-trump-case-andyawns
In fact, it is hard to find a major country as reluctant to require its leaders to face the legal music as we have been. Contrary to the MAGA GOP argument that prosecuting Trump makes us look like a “banana republic,” the reality is that placing our president above the law is a clearer sign of political backwardness than the alternative.

Tucker Carlson: Trump’s Indictment Will Start a ‘Political Purge’
“The rule of law appears to be suspended tonight, not just for Trump but for anyone who would consider voting for him,” Carlson said. “This is what it seems to be. It is a political purge.”
Trump Indictment Could Boost GOP Primary Bid, but Hurt in a Rematch With Joe Biden
WASHINGTON—The indictment of Donald Trump is unlikely to derail his 2024 White House bid and could help in the GOP primary, but it could also further alienate swing voters turned off by the controversies that continue to swirl around him since he left office.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took a more aggressive approach, seeking revenge.
“Our side chants ‘lock her up’ and their side is going to get a mug shot based on a witch hunt. It’s time to change that. Gloves are off,” Greene tweeted.

Jewish leaders slam NY state ad on truck accusing Jews of spreading polio
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/369397
Jewish leaders in New York reacted with outrage after the state Health Department sent a truck into Jewish neighborhoods in Long Island accusing the community of spreading polio, according to the New York Post.
On the truck was the message: “Polio is Spreading in Israel. Get Immunized Now.”
Many of the residents targeted by the truck in the Five Towns area of Long Island are Orthodox Jews.
The public service ad on the truck reminded State Assemblyman Ari Brown of the antisemitic trope of “Jews spreading disease.”
Rick Scott's 'automatic death penalty' for school shooters is illegal
Leaving aside, for a moment, the death penalty’s dubious deterrent effect, the more immediate issue with “automatic” capital punishment is that it’s illegal.
If a defendant is convicted in a death penalty case, then a separate trial is held in which the jury weighs aggravating and mitigating factors, to determine whether to recommend a death sentence. Prosecutors wouldn’t go through that process if they didn’t have to. Indeed, the Supreme Court has struck down mandatory capital punishment on multiple occasions, reiterating that individualized sentencing is needed.
A tense exchange on Capitol Hill that perfectly captures America’s divide on guns
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/30/politics/american-gun-divide-nashville/index.html
While Congress did pass the first major gun safety bill in decades last year, the aftermath of the shooting in Nashville has shown how impossible even minor overhauls are now that Republicans control the House. And the reality of a divided nation and a political system that grants small, conservative and rural states equal representation to more liberal, populous states in the Senate, where a 60-vote supermajority is needed for major legislation, also means sweeping gun safety legislation is all but impossible despite Democratic control of the chamber.
