Haha that's got to be a parody, right? There's no way that's a real headline...

This article summarized: Bret Stephens announces to the whole world that he has shit for brains.

What's the angle? Reducing poverty by slowly and excruciatingly killing off working class people? Don't care, free Palestine.
