'''''haGalil''''' is an online magazine published in [German](/source/German_language) relating to the issues of [Judaism](/source/Judaism), German Jewry and [Israel](/source/Israel). It is considered as the most widespread magazine of its kind in German, with over 380,000 monthly visitors (August 2009).

==Overview==
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](/source/Munich). The magazine operates two offices in Munich and [Tel Aviv](/source/Tel_Aviv). According to an interview with the magazine editor conducted in 2001, the main goals of the magazine are to fight [anti-Semitism](/source/anti-Semitism) and [neo-Nazism](/source/neo-Nazism) on the web, and to supply data regarding Judaism, [Jews](/source/Jews) and [Israel](/source/Israel). The magazine's motto is publishing a large number of authentic articles in these topics, in order to place hatred and neo-Nazi articles on a lower position in the internet search engines.

HaGalil online presents articles and short communications on various issues related to Jewish life, Jewish history, culture and religion. Additional central topics are [Israel](/source/Israel) and the [Israeli-Arab conflict](/source/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](/source/Jewish_religious_movements), and it provides a platform for all political opinions in Israel, from classical [Zionism](/source/Zionism) to other oppositional groups. Some articles are borrowed from other media and translated from English and [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew) to German.

In February 2006 the magazine was attacked by hackers probably as a response to the republication of [Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons](/source/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons). The magazine editor stated that he does not oppose [Islam](/source/Islam) in any way and personally finds these cartoons tasteless; however, he decided to publish them as a response to the violent reactions of Muslims across Europe after the cartoons' original publication. The magazine is financially supported by donations and advertisements.
