Visualizing Palestine
This striking collection of more than 200 full-color infographics is a vivid portrait of Israeli settler colonialism and the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
As a new generation of movement-builders seek to understand Israel’s brutal, illegal occupation of Palestine, Visualizing Palestine's vivid and informative graphics reveal deep truths about the decades-long Palestinian struggle for freedom.
The infographics present more than just data: colorful, accessible, and thoughtfully arranged, the oppression they document in stark detail dovetails with stories of perseverance and strength. From the history of Zionist settlement to the depopulation of Palestinian villages; from the construction of an apartheid wall to the destruction of olive trees; from hunger strikes to mass protests to boycotts, Visualizing Palestine’s graphics are powerful, comprehensive, and demand our attention.
