Articles about Annexation

Just as there are multiple narratives and different Guardian & Prophet perspectives on the long running Arab-Israeli conflict, so too we need to understand how different people view the the potential implications of "annexation". There are a lot of articles and reports flying buy, and we attempted to capture a few here - but there are many more. See also the Glossary for definition of some terms.

• WSJ article with Q&A on annexation: covers many points on the topic
• J-street Article about Annexation: has considerable information about the potential consequences of annexation
• Times of Israel: this blog expresses strong opinions about the rationale that Israel and its supporters will apply, and the concerns about the potential implications in world opinion. It invokes the dilemma of balance we summarize in the Guardian and Prophet perspectives.
• Forward article: American Jew Hysteria About Annexation Has Nothing To Do With Israel
• Forward article: Different groups use different words to describe annexation
• There are a plethora of resources from Makor, our tour provider last summer. They include maps, analyses and contrasting viewpoints.
