Behind The Wall (BW) is an online portal for Palestinian youth voice. It provides a platform for teenagers to speak honestly and openly about their opinions and experiences in the Occupied Territories. The BW publication does not advocate any political, religious, or cultural agenda.
It merely offers a transparent window into the hearts and minds of Palestinian youth. BW believes that this neutral approach represents the only solid foundation for genuine understanding of Palestinian teenagers. Ramallah Friends School 10th grade students currently serve as BW's primary writers.To view the website, click here.

Centre for Palestine Studies (CPS) The Centre for Palestine Studies (CPS) was established in 2012 under the umbrella of the London Middle East Institute at SOAS.
The question of Palestine has long been a fundamental issue to the Middle East with far-reaching global significance. The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most complex and protracted conflicts of our time. All countries across the region are deeply involved with its various dimensions, Palestinian refugees remain the largest body of refugees in the world, Palestine is the theatre of the longest ongoing occupation recognised as such in international law, Palestinian holders of Israeli citizenship have been permanently engaged in fighting for their rights, and a wide range of social and political movements claim to represent the Palestinian voice.
For SOAS, the study of Palestine and Palestinians has always been a prominent feature of research and teaching, involving a considerable number of staff and students. Contact:
