You have many good points within this article. I am glad to see you put them out for debate. THE AMERICAN WAY! America was born upon consensus. We may not agree BUT, what can we agree upon or at least agree to disagree? Keep up the good work.
Biden's goal has been consistent: de-escalate and prevent civilian casualties. Netanyahu is willing to burn bridges and lose moral high ground for selfish political and legal reasons. Israel could have wrapped this up a lot faster by going into Rafah months ago: instead, they're drawing out the war to last as long as possible: that's led to a reversal in approval for Israel's war actions in the US (recent Gallup poll showing 55%/36% disapproval/approval, which was 45%/50% in November).
RE: EVs - we just found a huge supply of lithium in California, and there are alternatives on the way (sodium ion batteries, for example). There are also alternatives to using rare earths in the magnets needed for EV motors.
That said: if we really want to hit emissions goals, then basically everything should be hybridized - either standard hybrid or plug-in types. The latter would - if people charged every night - result in little gas usage for typical daily use (especially with new battery tech on the way).
Today it seems both Republican and Democrat parties are trying to convince me stay home in November.

Buying votes is the democrat strategy. Sometimes it's student loan forgiveness. Sometimes it's pacifying Muslims and other radicals in swing states.
Well, important thing to keep in mind: Netanyahu is now reversing course and sending a delegation to Washington to discuss Rafah, per https://twitter.com/BarakRavid/status/1773025239909212612.
