Last week’s Zoom interview was remarkable. Our guest, Ariel Koren, who recently quit her job at Google after claiming it retaliated against her for opposing its growing partnership with the Israeli military, offered a chilling, insiders’ view of the company. She revealed just how frightening it can be to support Palestinian rights in the world of big-tech. Because the interview was so powerful, we decided to make it available to everyone—not just to paid subscribers.

If you like it, consider buying a subscription. I love writing the weekly newsletter and talking to people like Ariel. I learn a lot and hope, in some small way, that we’re contributing to changing public discourse about Israel-Palestine, and American politics and foreign policy more generally. But it takes a lot of work. Subscriptions make that work possible financially. They’re also deeply gratifying.

So consider becoming a paid subscriber. And enjoy the conversation with Ariel.
