Multifaceted project that offers a “big picture” introduction to Jerusalem, its history, and current issues. Features biographies of prominent Jerusalemites, fact sheets, graphics, interactive maps, analysis, essays, timelines, information on Jerusalem’s legal status, and more. Includes resources on Jerusalem in the Nakba, and the long process of ethnic cleansing that began with the 1948 Nakba, followed by the 1967 Naksa (setback), and continues through the present day. This digital resource is valuable for research on Palestinian culture and history, East Jerusalem under Israeli occupation, ethnic cleansing, the spiritual and religious significance of Jerusalem, Palestinian freedom of movement, Israeli settlements, Israeli expansionism, and the every-day experiences of Palestinians in Jerusalem.
