Laboratory of Coexistence Journal between the Israelis and the Palestinians

Roberto Ctera – Tel Aviv

Israelis and Palestinians have at least one common thing: phone prefix, +972. On the basis of this rare common point, a group of young Israeli and Palestinian journalists decided to initiate a new liberation initiative under the science of peaceful coexistence between the two peoples and the condemnation of violence related to the military occupation, describing it +972.

Certificate

Mirun Raport, Israeli, is one of the best book of columns known in the magazine, alongside editor Guson Bishrat, the Palestinian with Israeli nationality, and its director. “In the early years, we covered over all the experiences that showed the possibility of coexistence in peace between the two peoples, but also the aggressive nature and violence of the Israeli military occupation in Palestine and the settlers. Then, over time, the part designated for research in the press increased, which led to its increasing popularity.”

English as a language for a greater international audience

The web +972 magazine, written in English, created a Hebrew component called “Local Call” and Mirun. “Of course, the local call does not contain the numbers of +972, which has become a basic reference point for European and Western journalists who want to know more about the Palestinian -Israeli conflict. The local invitation is not just a translation into the Hebrew from the English Society, and it allows us, which is a large group of audiences. The spread in the Palestinian circles.

Permanent writing consists of a little more than 10 professional journalists, but the network of collaborators is very wide, with correspondents also in many foreign cities and capitals. The editorial boom of +972 clearly coincided with the beginning of the war in Gaza: “Our Work”, Mirunoya – immediately the difference with other media, both for our collaborators in the tape (where we must remember that Israel does not allow journalists to enter, editor) and investigations on the army’s reference behavior. “

The most important investigations and Oscar “No Land”

For example, two important investigations had a lot of echo: the “Hannibal” protocol (the controversial procedure that would allow “friendly fire” in the event of a hostage, editor), and the digital platform “lavender” (the application of artificial intelligence used by the Israeli army responsible for attending in Jazz, and Miroun adds: “This research on artificial intelligence used in the war recorded more than a million visits, Which we must add to many other important international newspapers such as “the guardian”, and I also remember his newspaper.

But the reputation of the newspaper became the world when two of the main editors in +972, the Palestinian Basel ADRA and Yuval Abraham, “Docufilm” “No other land”, about the systematic destruction of Palestinian housing in the city of Masifer Yata, which won Oscar last March in Hollywood. Other lands are not a terrible document, “Raport continues”, and it is a shame that the Israelis are not allowed to see it. This says a lot about the level of freedom of information in this country. Many Israelis do not know what is already happening in Gaza and in the occupied areas in the West Bank, and the local call was accurately created to replace this deficit, in the same way that they do not know the international isolation that Israel has now built around, because the Israeli newspapers do not talk about it. “

Commitment to peace, democracy and social justice

+972 and local calls do not receive ads or receive subsidies from public bodies to stay independent. “The Israeli media system is under pressure,” Miroun Raport explains, Mirun Raport, Mirun Raport, explains, “The private TV channels are conditional on the advertising market that the advertisers do not like to be linked to political positions in violation of the government, the public channel is in the spotlight on privatization, and the situation of newspapers that the government does not like. Journalists will be from +972 and the local call in Italy in the next few days, where, among the things Other, at the International Press Festival in Perugia.
