Consisting in the description of various aspects of the Palestine Question that is simultaneously objective and committed, the Encyclopedia presents the Palestinians as they are—purposeful actors and not just victims.

Following years of preparation and several stages of implementation, the Encyclopedia is now a fully-bilingual platform geared towards academics, students, journalists, and the general public.

It currently consists of the following sections.

Start by exploring its backbone: a detailed Overall Chronology of the main events that shaped Palestinian history in the realms of war, diplomacy, culture, economy, and many other topics.

Some of these events form part of Thematic Chronologies, allowing you to access with a single click the milestones of the PLO's history, the main United Nations resolutions, the different stages of Arab-Israeli wars and negotiations rounds, and many other crucial developments in Palestinian history.

For a deeper understanding of the main events and dimensions of the Palestine Question, discover an ever-growing number of Highlights written by leading academics and experts in the field.

Don't forget to discover the Biographies of Palestinian intellectuals, artists, activists, combatants and politicians who have influenced the history of Palestine since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Delve further into the painful legacy of the past by exploring hundreds of villages destroyed by Israel during the Nakba, which are now featured in a new section called Places. 

And don't leave the platform without having browsed the Documents section through hundreds of historical texts, photographs, maps and charts that exemplify the great diversity of Palestine, past and present.

The Encyclopedia will be continually upgraded and populated with additional content. To help us improve it further, we need your feedback and suggestions; write to us at palquest@palestine-studies.org.

Following years of preparation and several stages of implementation, the Encyclopedia is now a fully-bilingual platform geared towards academics, students, journalists, and the general public.

It currently consists of the following sections.

Start by exploring its backbone: a detailed Overall Chronology of the main events that shaped Palestinian history in the realms of war, diplomacy, culture, economy, and many other topics.

Some of these events form part of Thematic Chronologies, allowing you to access with a single click the milestones of the PLO's history, the main United Nations resolutions, the different stages of Arab-Israeli wars and negotiations rounds, and many other crucial developments in Palestinian history.

Don't forget to discover the Biographies of Palestinian intellectuals, artists, activists, combatants and politicians who have influenced the history of Palestine since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Delve further into the painful legacy of the past by exploring hundreds of villages destroyed by Israel during the Nakba, which are now featured in a new section called Places. 

And don't leave the platform without having browsed the Documents section through hundreds of historical texts, photographs, maps and charts that exemplify the great diversity of Palestine, past and present.

"The planet-warming emissions generated during the first two months of the war in Gaza were greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 of the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations, new research reveals."(source)

“Among all the problems facing the state of Palestine in the coming decades, climate change is the most immediate and certain – and this has been amplified by the occupation and war on Gaza since the 7 October.” (source)

Divest campaigns urge banks, local councils, churches, pension funds and universities to withdraw investments from the State of Israel and all Israeli and international companies that sustain Israeli apartheid.

Sanctions campaigns pressure governments to fulfil their legal obligations to end Israeli apartheid, and not aid or assist its maintenance, by banning business with illegal Israeli settlements, ending military trade and free-trade agreements, as well as suspending Israel's membership in international forums such as UN bodies and FIFA.

guide to dismantling Israeli propaganda. As we feel committed to providing facts and

advocating for justice, this document aims to equip readers with the knowledge and

tools necessary to challenge misconceptions.

This booklet outlines effective communication strategies, encouraging advocates to

remain calm, factual, and persistent in pursuing justice. By dissecting key

terminologies and addressing prominent claims with clear counterarguments, we aim

to provide a comprehensive resource on historical events, propaganda tactics, and

misconceptions for those dedicated to dismantling false narratives and fostering

accurate understanding.

Dome of the Rock (Arabic: قبة الصخرة, romanized: Qubbat aṣ-Ṣakhra) is an Islamic shrine at the center of the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is the world's oldest surviving work of Islamic architecture, the earliest archaeologically attested religious structure to be built by a Muslim ruler and its inscriptions contain the earliest epigraphic proclamations of Islam and of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. (Source: Wikipedia)

"Most Muslims can’t get and visit the Dome of the Rock because it has been occupied for years by Israel. Israel tried multiple times to destroy this mosque and to burn it. A lot of people were killed while they were praying there. I’m Palestinian, but I’m writing now with tears in my eyes that I can’t visit this place because it’s occupied." (artist)

Author: Hannah Moushabeck

"As bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father, who tells them stories of a faraway homeland—of Palestine. Through their father’s memories, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the diaspora feel love for a place they have never been, a home they cannot visit. But, as their father’s story comes to an end, they know that through his memories they will always return.

A Palestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book debut by Hannah Moushabeck. With heartfelt illustrations by Reem Madooh, Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine is a love letter to home, to family, and to the persisting hope of a people, which transcends borders. Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine by Hannah Moushabeck and illustrated by Reem Madooh is on sale now." Order from https://hannahmoushabeck.com/books/
