You may have heard, or even noticed, that Facebook is making major changes in what it shows you in your news feed — namely, less news.

While we fully support you seeing more cute photos of your nieces and nephews, we want to make sure you also see the latest news and analysis from Israel-Palestine.

We know that many of you rely on Facebook to get +972 Magazine, so before your news feed is completely devoid of news, here are three ways you can guarantee that you’ll still see the most important stories from +972:

 

1. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Click here to sign up. It only takes a few seconds to subscribe. And it’s free!

Once a week you’ll get a curated selection of +972’s most important stories directly in your inbox. It doesn’t get much easier and convenient than that.

 

2. Customize your Facebook newsfeed with just a few clicks. Then Facebook will still show you +972 articles — alongside those cute photos of kittens, and memories of that one time you went to Madrid and saw that hilariously mistranslated sign, of course.

Here’s all you have to do, in three easy steps:

First, visit +972 Magazine’s Facebook page.

Next, click “Follow”

Lastly, select “See first.” That’s it. You’re done. You’ll still see +972 in your Facebook feed.

We’ve got a lot of new and exciting things in the works this year. Don’t miss it just because Facebook changed its mind about what it thinks you want to read.

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.
