Al-Shabaka ranks among the world’s best think tank networks for the fifth consecutive year, according to the advance release of the 2017 Global Go To Think Tank Index report.  

Al-Shabaka is pleased to share this report on Al-Shabaka’s work in 2016 as well as some of our progress in 2017. In these pages, you will find a succinct summary of the analysis our network has produced as well as the many events where we have contributed to the policy discourse – from Ramallah to Paris, Geneva, London, Washington, and more - evidence of our growing global reach.

Introducing the second visual from joint coalition with Visualizing Palestine: “Residency Revocation: Israel’s Forcible Transfer of Palestinians from Jerusalem”  

The legal, bureaucratic, and physical manifestations of racism are often just complex enough to seem invisible or accidental (at least to those not directly affected). The 2020 municipal plan for Jerusalem pulled back the curtain a little when it explicitly set out a "demographic target of 60% Jews and 40% Arabs." Visualizing Palestine's latest visual untangles a complex web of discriminatory Israeli policies and practices connected to this goal.

The just-published 2016 Global Go To Think Tank Index again ranked Al-Shabaka in the "Best Think Tank Network" category. This is the fourth year running that Al-Shabaka has been ranked by this prestigious report.

Six Palestinian civil society organizations collaborated with Visualizing Palestine to create a series of visuals on the situation in East Jerusalem. The graphics aim at raising awareness of Israel’s apartheid policies in the city, its effects on the Palestinian population, and the gross violations of international humanitarian and human rights law that arise.
