Israel and Palestine: Resources (HC)

This guide provides resources for finding news, documentation and scholarship about events and history in Israel and Palestine. It was created in October 2023 with the goal of enabling readers in the Haverford community to gain a greater understanding of the issues involved.

Please be aware that this is a rapidly changing situation, and information will be updated to be as timely as possible. It is important to make sure you question sources and synthesize information from multiple perspectives. To assist, take a look at the following section on "How to Evaluate your Sources"
