The 20th and 21st centuries in Palestine are defined by seismic demographic and political changes.
Since the arrival of Jewish settlers, the ethno-religious and national makeup of Palestine has been, and will continue to be, a contentious issue.
This tension has resulted in the proposal of various solutions, from a single Jewish nation, a bi-national one-state, to a two-state partition.
Strong disagreements on borders and nationality policies leaves the Palestine Question without a resolution.
The entire process has disenfranchised Palestinians and further delays in a resolution leads to more Palestinian lives, livelihoods, and properties lost.
Mapping Palestine's mapping tools are meant to democratize the process in determining Palestine's future.
Using demographic data released by the Israeli, Palestinian, and British governments, the following mapping tools help everyday people in
articulating how the future of Palestine should look like.
Palestine in 1945 uses British survey data of Mandatory Palestine in 1945. This year is crucial because it is three years
before the start of the 1948 War and the Nakba. It can be used to determine a solution based on demographic data before
the crimes against humanity committed against Palestinians since 1947.
Palestine in 2023 shows the modern state of Palestine, based primarily on Israeli and Palestinian government estimates
in 2023. Since the data in this mapping tool is from 2023, the demographic changes caused by the Gaza Genocide are not
represented.
