What Is Jerusalem?
The starting point for anyone wanting to grasp the realities faced by Jerusalem’s Palestinians

Who Are the Palestinians of Jerusalem?
Palestinians comprise nearly half the population of Jerusalem and have built, and shaped, the city for centuries, yet their stories are rarely told.

The West Side Story
The erased and all-too-often forgotten violent history of how West Jerusalem came to be
Land and Space

Land
In Jerusalem as in the rest of the country, land is the locus of the struggle for control. Here we explore the status of land in Jerusalem and its environs.

Settlements
Israel has used Jewish settlement as a pivotal strategy to control, disrupt, and radically transform the Jerusalem geopolitical landscape.
Access, Mobility, and Fragmentation

Closure and Access to Jerusalem
Jerusalem is known as an open, international, “city of peace.” For millions of Palestinians, however, it is a closed, virtually unreachable, city.

The Separation Wall
Israel's Separation Wall, called al-jidar by Palestinians, has drastically reshaped the geopolitical fabric of Jerusalem.
Status, Voice, and Governance

Precarious Status
Most Palestinian Jerusalemites have a legal status that is unique in the world: Although they are indigenous, they are stateless.
