Israel Palestine
Territory at the heart of the conflict

FROM OCTOBER 8 TO NOVEMBER 10

For over a century, history, ideology and religion have woven the tale of two entities, two peoples, two causes condemned to live side by side on the same territory. How do you tell the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at a time when each side is trying to impose its own geography and history, with irreconcilable and polarising representations of space?
Le Monde‘s computer graphics department has chosen to do this in maps. Because maps are the best tool for setting out the issues surrounding a contested territory, for comparing representations and for measuring developments. Maps do not caricature, they explain. They explain, without simplifying. They seek to bring together those who pay more attention to complexity than to binary reasoning.
It is part of this work that is presented here, in a mapped journey through the conflict that aims to put the Israeli-Palestinian problem back on the table of reason.
