Many thanks to all of you who donated and who support the site by sharing our articles with your circle — by email, on social media or by word of mouth. We’re proud to say that you ensured that we reached our goal this year.

Remember, though, that social media are shadowbanning sites that deal with issues like Palestine and are not a reliable way to get Informed Comment content.

It is more important than ever not only to support the site if you like its news analysis but to sign up for delivery of the daily postings by email so you don’t miss even one. Also, do share the postings with friends by email, since that is the one part of the internet that the billionaires haven’t ruined yet.

I asked the Wombo Dream app to generate an image expressing thanks to you for reading this site, and here’s what the robot came up with:

May 2024 bring you and yours many good things, and all of us better news about the Middle East.
