A new way to donate to people in Gaza.
This Week
I’m traveling, so there will be no Monday video or Friday Zoom call. But I will be interviewing the Hungarian-Canadian physician Gabor Maté, without a live audience. We’ve never talked before, but I’ve long been struck by the psychological insight he brings to discussions of Israel-Palestine and the Jewish experience. I’m keen to explore that with him. We’ll post the interview, for paid subscribers, on Wednesday.
Next week we’ll be back to our normal schedule.
Things to Read
(Maybe this should be obvious, but I link to articles and videos I find provocative and significant, not necessarily ones I entirely agree with.)

How to Prevent More Starvation Deaths in Gaza, By Isaac Chotiner
Peter. I hope your travels will be somewhat a vacation and not all work and interviewing! You deserve a test once in a while. Will you be posting your interview with Mate? I hope so.
He’s an amazing person.
Happy Travels

Technological Nazi Attack on Gerrymandering and Voting
Marc Elias’ interview with Trey Martiinez sheds light on gerrymandering 2.0 21st century style Nobody in the Texas legislature knows where the new maps were concocted and that’s because the new map comes from the RNC computers that are so sophisticated that the old idea of gerrymandering doesn’t hold a candle to the demographic precision that the Nazis are presently using
With that context then Peter Theil’s Palantir platform appears to be a big player in the scheme of “rigging” elections particularly now that the DOJ is demanding state voter rolls There is only one conclusion that can be made after the 2024 election The Nazis are in the process of “rigging” elections so that there will never be an American free and fair election again
