+972 magazine is helping to publish Sally Rooney’s latest novel in Israel, a deal that undermines Israel’s cultural isolation as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza. Who does this serve?
On this day 26 years ago, residents of South Lebanon poured into the streets as Israeli forces withdrew, putting an end to 22 years of Israeli occupation. Today, those same villages lie in rubble, and the occupation is back.
Israel now controls 65% of Gaza and is moving to annex Palestinian historical sites, Jerusalem properties, and Bedouin communities in the West Bank. In the U.S., the DNC buried Gaza from its 2024 autopsy, and AIPAC faces its first major electoral loss in years.
Gaza was the first AI war of the 21st century, and if Global Trumpism succeeds, it will become a testing ground for its vision to dominate the future: Pax Silica, or the merger of the high-tech military-surveillance complex and transnational finance.
Itamar Ben-Gvir has been attacked across Israeli politics for a cruel video showing him mocking flotilla activists as they were being abused by officers. His offense was not his fascist celebration, but rather showing the true face of Israel.
Political and economic realities are pushing Donald Trump to pursue a deal with Iran, but he will need to resist mounting pressure, including from Israel, to return to all-out war.
The DNC finally released its long-awaited autopsy of Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign, and it doesn’t mention Gaza. The Democratic leadership’s refusal to acknowledge the party’s shift on Israel could spell another defeat in 2028.
The Israeli Knesset is considering a bill that would place Palestinian historical sites in the West Bank under direct Israeli civil law, stripping them of their protected status under international law. Experts say it’s annexation in all but name.
AIPAC says that being pro-Israel is good politics. But if that is true, why do they have to spend so much money on elections?
