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.
