  1. 1. From Haven To Conquest

    Readings in Zionism and the Palestine Problem, 1899-1948

    A documentary anthology that assembles primary sources, official records, political writings, and contemporary commentary tracing the development of Zionist ideology, British imperial policy, Jewish immigration and land acquisition, and Palestinian political responses up to 1948. Through curated documents and scholarly notes it shows how competing nationalisms, colonial maneuvering, and international diplomacy escalated tensions and culminated in the 1948 war and the large-scale displacement of Palestinian communities, offering evidence and context for understanding the origins of the Palestine problem.

  2. 2. All That Remains

    The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948

    A comprehensive, meticulously documented survey that catalogues the Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948, combining historical accounts, population and land statistics, contemporary and archival maps and photographs, and site descriptions to record what existed, how and when communities were displaced, and what became of the village lands—aiming to preserve collective memory, challenge official narratives, and provide a factual basis for historical and legal discussion.
