[1] Noam Sheizaf, a co-founder and the +972 chief executive officer, said they wanted to express a new and "mostly young voice which would take part in the international debate regarding Israel and Palestine".

[1] Sarah Wildman, writing in The Nation, described +972 as Born in the summer of 2010 as an umbrella outfit for a group of (mostly) pre-existing blogs.

The site is now an online home for more than a dozen writers, a mix of Israelis, binational American- and Canadian-Israelis, and two Palestinians, all of whom occupy, if you'll forgive the term, space on the spectrum of the left.

Several members of the cooperative are "frequent participants in joint Israeli-Palestinian demonstrations behind the Green Line", and work closely with "the activists who coordinate such protests".

[3] Some of these supporters, such as Gershom Gorenberg, also expressed skepticism that +972 primarily reports human rights abuses committed by Israelis but not Palestinians, but were "reluctant to criticize the site or its writers" despite these reservations.

[9] In response, Sheizaf said: "The attack on +972 is being carried out in the standard way NGO Monitor, Im Tirzu and similar organizations work these days: Not by debating the content of our reports and commentary pieces, but by trying to delegitimize and silence us.

"[3] Local Call (Hebrew: שִׂיחָה מְקוֹמִית, romanized: Sikha Mekomit) is a Hebrew-language news site co-founded and co-published by Just Vision and 972 Advancement of Citizen Journalism (which also publishes +972 Magazine).

[13] It states that it is committed to democracy, peace, equality, social justice, transparency, freedom of information and resisting the Israeli occupation.

[14] In 2016, Local Call ran an exclusive on a Jerusalem cinema complex that refused to work with cab drivers of Palestinian ethnicity, a story picked up by leading newscaster Channel 2.
