It is considered as the most widespread magazine of its kind in German, with over 380,000 monthly visitors (August 2009).
The magazine was established by David Gall in 1995, and is since then published by him and Eva Ehrlich, both of whom are German-Jews residents of Munich.
Additional central topics are Israel and the Israeli-Arab conflict, as well as modern anti-Semitism in German speaking countries.
Judaism is presented in a broad sense, including an equal representation for all Jewish religious movements, and it provides a platform for all political opinions in Israel, from classical Zionism to other oppositional groups.
In February 2006 the magazine was attacked by hackers probably as a response to the republication of Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons.
