Palestine/Israel Resource Directory:
A Guide to Learning, Taking Action, & Centering Palestinian Voices
Use this resource to find further resources for learning about the Israeli-Palestinian Crisis and how you can take action.
This is NOT a paid partnership. At Eager, we create directories for further learning because we believe in the importance of ongoing learning around social justice issues, whether they come from us or elsewhere, and we believe in the importance of amplifying organizations doing great work. None of the resources provided below have paid to be listed here.
If you see something missing from this list and would like to recommend additions, please get in touch and let us know!

History and Information:
Palestine - History, Religion & Conflicts - HISTORY
Detailed explanation of history, current state, and relations
*Eager Network does not support the use of the word “conflict” to describe the relations between Palestine and Israel, as it implies that there is a general balance of power, with both sides having a path to a beneficial outcome, rather than a military occupation and settler conquest of a historic state and people, by a potent and heavily armed/allied settler state.*
Comprehensive information about the towns that were “ethnically cleansed, looted and destroyed by the Israeli army.” At each town's homepage, you find pictures, the current status of the town, the Israeli colonies that occupy the lands, a brief history, detailed accounts of acts of terror, personal accounts from refugees, and live interviews
