Who this is for
Start With Palestine is an independent educational project for people who want to understand the history without assumed knowledge. It does not tell readers which political position to take.
How claims are handled
Primary legal documents and official institutional data are prioritised for court decisions and current conditions. Recognised scholarship supports history. Contested interpretations are identified, allegations remain allegations, and provisional measures are never described as final judgments.
Principle 2
Primary documents are preferred for official decisions and agreements.
Principle 3
Academic scholarship is used for historical interpretation.
Principle 4
Neutrality follows the weight of evidence: documented findings are stated precisely, not diluted into competing opinions.
Principle 5
Current figures and legal proceedings carry dates.
Principle 6
No party, government or advocacy organisation determines our conclusions.
