A note to readers on +972’s outage

By +972 Magazine September 17, 2011 | Edit

To our readers:

On Thursday, we experienced a problem with our hosting company that caused our site to go down. We’ve had momentary issues like these before, and hoped this one too would be resolved quickly. Yet what we initially hoped was a small glitch was a larger one. The hosting set up that worked for us over a year ago when we first launched the site, no longer matches our growing needs.

In order to fix this, we needed to switch to a new hosting company, and set up again with much better technical apparatus. This move took us a couple of days, while we worked around the clock to get the website back up. During this time, there was not much else we could do but wait. This was extremely frustrating for us, as we know it was for many of you.

Thank you for bearing with us while we were down, and for expressing your support for us to get back online quickly. We want to assure all of you that +972 Magazine is safe and sound. You’ll find all of our content still here, unharmed.

We are very proud that our readership has grown considerably since we launched +972 Magazine a year ago, and we have all of you to thank for that. We have renewed infrastructure to make sure we can support our growing audience, so that we can keep providing independent reporting and commentary, and you can keep reading and debating with us.

While the final configurations of the hosting move are completing, you may continue to experience some light bugs while browsing +972 Magazine. These will be sorted out in the new couple of days. Our domain name and all link addresses inside our site, will also go back to normal.

Thanks for your patience and support,

Shir Harel

TEST TEST GAL Our team has been devastated by the horrific events of this latest war. The world is reeling from Israel’s unprecedented onslaught on Gaza, inflicting mass devastation and death upon besieged Palestinians, as well as the atrocious attack and kidnappings by Hamas in Israel on October 7. Our hearts are with all the people and communities facing this violence.    We are in an extraordinarily dangerous era in Israel-Palestine. The bloodshed has reached extreme levels of brutality and threatens to engulf the entire region. Emboldened settlers in the West Bank, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to intensify their attacks on Palestinians. The most far-right government in Israel’s history is ramping up its policing of dissent, using the cover of war to silence Palestinian citizens and left-wing Jews who object to its policies.   This escalation has a very clear context, one that +972 has spent the past 14 years covering: Israeli society’s growing racism and militarism, entrenched occupation and apartheid, and a normalized siege on Gaza.   We are well positioned to cover this perilous moment – but we need your help to do it. This terrible period will challenge the humanity of all of those working for a better future in this land. Palestinians and Israelis are already organizing and strategizing to put up the fight of their lives.   Can we count on your support? +972 Magazine is a leading media voice of this movement, a desperately needed platform where Palestinian and Israeli journalists, activists, and thinkers can report on and analyze what is happening, guided by humanism, equality, and justice.
