Crisis Guide: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
From The Council on Foreign Relations
All you need to know about the Isreali-Palestinian conflict, in clear-cut maps, interactives, and timelines. An invaluble resource to dismantle the complex issue.
 
Defining the Barrier
From The Washington Post
With a mix of interactive maps and video, this feature gives a comprehensive look at the West Bank barrier, which has both worsened the lives of Palestinians and drastically cut the number of suicide bombings inside Israel.
 
Struggle for Independence
From CBS News
A straightforward, simple interactive that demonstrates the shifting borders of the Middle East following World War I. The fall of the Ottoman Empire made way for the creation of an Israeli state, with decades of war to follow between its Arab neighbors.
 
Occupation 101
Directed by Abdallah & Sufyan Omeish
This stirring documentary analyzes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, seperates facts from myths, and provides a compelling look at life under military occupation.
 
A Land in Fragments
Produced by AFSC
A short video piece demonstrates what's left of the West Bank for Palestinians if the current framework for a two-state solution is upheld.
