The Reprisal Line

Fifty-eight paired events from the 1947 UN partition vote to the 2025 ceasefire: who acted, who answered, and what it cost.

Two lanes, one for actions by Israeli-side actors and one for actions by Palestinian and Arab-side actors, with the barrier, elections and funding threads marked alongside. Curved lines connect an action to the response it's sourced as having triggered. Not every pair is undisputed; where accounts differ, the card says so plainly.

How to use this
The lanes
Palestinian and Arab-side actions run down the left, Israeli-side actions down the right. Events both sides took part in, and international decisions, sit across the middle.
The lines
A curved arrow runs from an action to the response its source names. The dashed rail beside the spine marks the years the West Bank barrier was under construction.
The threads
Four switches in the Filters panel show or hide wars and attacks, elections and politics, the wall, and the money trail. A card with no thread mark always shows.
