Welcome to +972’s Sunday Recap! 

For Amahl Bishara, 2025 was characterized by the dizzying experience of fighting rising fascism in America during a genocide in Palestine. The overlaps across time and place are strange and vicious, she argued, but we must insist on drawing these connections — from the Holocaust to Gaza, or ICE detention to Israeli prisons — to disrupt the normalization of authoritarianism at every turn.

And out of almost 250 pieces published on +972 Magazine this year — ranging from reports, analyses, and op-eds to interviews, mini-documentaries, and podcasts — we put together a selection of editors’ picks that stood out most to our team. We hope you’ll read them, share them, and keep following along for the year ahead.
