The Crisis in Gaza Map Home #8987

A map beginning to explore issues arising from the Gaza crisis.

This is the second map in the Debategraph series with The Independent.

The opening objectives for the Crisis in Gaza map are to:  

  • capture the different worldviews that underpin the conflict fairly and succinctly on a common map; and 
  • map the options open to the participants in the conflict and the international community, and the arguments for and against the different options.

Every aspect of the map at the outset should be regarded as mutable and provisional — with the aim being to enrich the structure iteratively and collaboratively until the map reflects a maximum of our community intelligence.

This is an emotive subject, and the map is at an early stage of development; so if you see statements with which you disagree strongly or spot gaps in the arguments, please help us to address these on the map.

Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour

For instance, the RAND study proposing "The Arc" by urban designer Doug Suisman offers an attractive and compelling solution to the conflict. Yet, the conflict continues to be framed in terms of terrorism, state sponsored terrorism, and military action. See http://planetucker.com/2009/01/04/suismans-arc.aspx
