Telling the world you stand with Israel at this moment is a provocative and racist statement that supports genocide. It’s certainly free speech and protected, but it should not be socially insulated. The latest Cutting Through newsletter explores this point.
Also, this edition of the newsletter marks the opening of paid subscriptions.
With the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza and the 2024 election season about to take off, I am hoping to significantly increase my output, including news roundups, in-depth reports, and other text features, as well as expanding into both podcast and video formats. I can only do all of this with your support.
In the first stages, I do not intend to restrict any of my content. I realize this means that I am asking you to donate to my work without offering extra benefits in return. In the future, I do expect there to be some great bonuses for paid subscribers. But right now, given the importance of the moment, I am going to try to keep all my content free.
Some of you have already pledged your support, and I thank you for that more deeply than I can possibly express. There should be a paid subscription button at the top of the Cutting Through Substack page and in the emails. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to reach out to me.
I couldn’t do any of this without your help, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for following me through the years and supporting my work. You can subscribe through the newsletter.
