Reminder: Live video chat on Trump and Gaza
Tune in at 8:30 CET
Just a reminder that in an hour I’ll be going live with Alex Stein from the ‘Love of the Land’ newsletter to talk about Trump’s recent comments about taking over Gaza. I’m going to ask him about how the idea has landed in the Israeli political scene, and he’s going to ask me about how it fits into Trump’s broader foreign policy.
We’ll be having the discussion on Substack Video live at 8:30pm Central European Time/7:30pm UK time/2:30pm DC time. Just load up the Substack app or website and you’ll get a notification allowing you to tune in.
And be sure to check out Alex’s newsletter to become better informed on the history, politics and culture of Israel and the Middle East.
Thanks again Andrew for a great Substack live chat with Alex in Israel. Here in Canada we’re feeling mostly outraged but also anxious about Trump’s wild assertions of annexing us (the ‘Anschluss’) by economic force as part of his hegemonic ‘plan’ for N. America. Our BC premier David Eby gave a wonderful & emotionally uplifting short public speech at the Invictus Games about the long history of mutual support & friendship between the Canadian & US peoples and how it transcended politicians’ talk. It’s worth checking out online at
