The Sunday Recap: A British-Israelitragedy, born out of occupation

Welcome to the Sunday Recap, a new newsletter from +972 Magazine! At a time when the news from Israel-Palestine is changing and growing more worrisome every day, we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss a single story on our site. So every Sunday, we’re sending out a newsletter with the past week’s articles, special announcements, and invites to upcoming events. Don’t worry! You’ll be receiving the Sunday Recap in addition to The Landline, our beloved newsletter that comes out mid-week, and which brings our team’s thoughts of the week straight to your inbox. This week, +972’s Ben Reiff wrote about how much of the media coverage on the killing of a British-Israeli family in the West Bank omitted the violent context— decades of brutal military occupation — in which it occurred, condemning countless more Palestinians and Israelis to the same fate. Tom Pessah debunked the myths of Israel’s Declaration of Independence, which many anti-government protesters have been citing as a moral and political guide without acknowledging its fundamental failings. Meanwhile, Alice Austin profiled Palestinian singer-songwriter Yusor Hamed, whose unashamedly individual style has brought some of Palestine’s most renowned artists knocking, and is now taking her sound global. And if you missed our weekly newsletter, +972 contributor Samah Salaime wrote about Israel’s attacks during Ramadan in Jerusalem, and how Palestinians, rather than enjoying the holy fasting month, are made to fear it. One last thing. This is a moment of deep crisis in Israel-Palestine and we need your back. Our journalists are on the frontlines, often facing police or settler violence, making sure you get the best reporting and finest up-to-date analysis from inside the struggle for true democracy between the river and the sea. They can do so because thousands of +972 Magazine readers choose to support our work. If you are not already one of them — now is the time to join!
