This map is an experiment.

Our aim is neither to deny the conflict, nor to play down it's brutality and intensity.

By mapping forms of coexistence between Arabs and Jews, we want to share a different perspective on Israel and Palestine. The region is usually portrayed in international media as a conflict zone, drenched in hatred and violence.
Although such media coverage is not necessarily wrong, it neglects forms of coexistence between Jews and Arabs that actually take place on an everyday basis, beyond politics and eruptions of violence. This map wants to raise awareness for these hopeful stories and, by doing so, to widen the region's discourse, at least, a little bit.
