Resource List about Israel-Palestine
Compiled by Isma'/Shema
Over the past year, many participants in our workshops have asked us for a comprehensive list of resources on the Israel-Palestine conflict. We acknowledge that providing such a list without any bias is challenging, as this topic is complex and deeply emotional for many. Our aim is to offer a variety of information and historical context to help you develop a more nuanced understanding of the situation. While some of these resources may reflect particular perspectives or evoke discomfort, we believe they are valuable for fostering greater awareness and education. We encourage you to explore them with an open mind and welcome any discussions or questions you may have.
