We are publishing two blog posts with resources which are also working documents. This means that they will be edited as new contributions come in. Because of the length of the list, we have separated them into two blog posts: one set of resources by Palestinian or involving Palestinians, and another set of critical commentaries on the conflict from many different sources.
