So you’ve heard about the sufferings endured by Palestinians at the hands of Israelis. You’ve seen pictures of Palestinian children killed by Israeli bombs, read about targeted killings, learned about the separation barrier and checkpoints, and heard of the hardships, discriminations and humiliations daily endured by the Palestinian people. You’ve seen the UN and other international organizations repeatedly issue sharp criticisms of Israel for its actions. You’ve learned of the Palestinian exile, and of their decades-long struggle for the land.

Any decent, justice-seeking person who hears of such suffering would, and should, act to stop it, correct it, make it known. But what is the best way to stop this suffering? What if its true roots are more complex than they at first seem? What if many of these sufferings turned out to be ultimately self-inflicted – what then? How best to end them?

For example:

How can an informed decision be reached about dead Palestinian children without mentioning the deliberate Palestinian practice of placing their own children in harm’s way, and of glorifying death, martyrdom and the murder of innocents on national children’s television?

How can the absence of a Palestinian state be discussed without mentioning the fact that the Israelis have repeatedly accepted the two-state solution over the course of the conflict, while the Palestinians have repeatedly refused?

How can a discussion of Israeli “apartheid” and “racism” be held, without discussing the fact that the leader of the Palestinians during the formative years of the conflict was an ardent Nazi supporter, who spent a good part of World War II recruiting for Hitler’s war machine?

To be clear, the aim of this site is not to justify abuse of Palestinians, or to trivialize Palestinian suffering, or to dismiss their claims to the land and to a state of their own. Nor is there any intention to portray Israel, its government, or its military, as perfect or without blame. This site does not claim to present a complete picture of the conflict; rather, it is an attempt to fill in the blanks. To provide absent, critical information, in order to enable decent, justice-seeking people to reach a more complete and informed opinion about the conflict, its origins and its most effective solution.

The information presented is organized under 10 basic facts, each of which links to a more detailed explanation. Each point made in the explanations is itself supported by links to one or more external documents on the Internet.
