What makes +972 such a unique magazine with an extraordinary ability to shake up conventional ideas about Israel and Palestine?

What makes the Israeli web magazine +972 such a unique venture with an extraordinary ability to shake up conventional ideas about the region? In this episode of Nation Conversations, editor Roane Carey speaks with Sarah Wildman about +972 and how it compares to local and international media in its portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The magazine not only departs from mainstream journalism and offers fresh insight on the Israeli occupation, but also reaches a wide international audience.

Be sure to also read Wildman’s article about +972, Israel’s New Left Goes Online.

An urgent message from the Editors

As the editors of The Nation, it’s not usually our role to fundraise. Today, however, we’re putting out a special appeal to our readers, because there are only hours left in 2025 and we’re still $20,000 away from our goal of $75,000. We need you to help close this gap. 

Your gift to The Nation directly supports the rigorous, confrontational, and truly independent journalism that our country desperately needs in these dark times.

2025 was a terrible year for press freedom in the United States. Trump launched personal attack after personal attack against journalists, newspapers, and broadcasters across the country, including multiple billion-dollar lawsuits. The White House even created a government website to name and shame outlets that report on the administration with anti-Trump bias—an exercise in pure intimidation.

The Nation will never give in to these threats and will never be silenced. In fact, we’re ramping up for a year of even more urgent and powerful dissent. 

With the 2026 elections on the horizon, and knowing Trump’s history of false claims of fraud when he loses, we’re going to be working overtime with writers like Elie Mystal, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Jeet Heer, Kali Holloway, Katha Pollitt, and Chris Lehmann to cut through the right’s spin, lies, and cover-ups as the year develops.

If you donate before midnight, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor. We hope you’ll make our work possible with a donation. Please, don’t wait any longer.

In solidarity,

The Nation Editors
