As Israel prepares for elections on Oct. 27, the past four years demand a reckoning: what has prolonged far-right rule changed in law, policy, and political culture? And what does it reveal about the ability of Israeli institutions and civil society to protect rights during a time of acute crisis? Noa Sattath, Executive Director of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) — one of the country's oldest and most prominent civil and human rights organizations — offers a behind the scenes look at what it means to fight for rights through institutions that have been complicit in horrific state violence, yet remain among the few arenas where that violence can still be challenged.

Why become a member of +972?

+972 Magazine is an independent, nonprofit media organization of Israeli and Palestinian journalists that relies on the support of readers like you.

Through our groundbreaking reporting on the ground and critical analysis, we spotlight the people and communities working to oppose occupation and apartheid, and promote justice and equality for all those living between the river and the sea.

In order to foster real and meaningful change, we have to be able to do this work in the long run. That means paying our Palestinian and Israeli journalists, as well as providing them with the necessary legal protections as they report from the frontlines. We have to ensure that we keep reaching millions of people around the world — from policymakers to grassroots activists to regular readers — with the reliable information they need. We remain committed to allowing people access to this information with no paywalls or ads. To do all that, we need your support.

By becoming a member with a monthly contribution of any size (which you can cancel at any time), you will allow us to sustain this work and reach millions of new readers. We know how to change the conversation on Israel-Palestine. Will you help us to make that happen?
