EI 101
The Electronic Intifada project (EI) is an online educational gateway to information about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, produced by a small network of activists with a history of Internet and alternative media development.

EI undertakes research, and compiles and publishes reference material, commentary & analysis, personal journals from the frontlines of the conflict, media news and analysis, and even satire.

EI aims aspects of its information service at journalists & editors, activists -- occasionally encouraging letters of concern -- at students of the media, and researchers looking for reference material, and offers automatically updating streaming content via our "wire service for websites", EI Wire.

Launched 23 February 2001, EI is independent of any political, factional, ethnic, or religious affiliation, and bases its view of the conflict on the foundations of universal human rights and international law. The Electronic Intifada condemns all attacks on civilians, regardless of the perpetrators, yet encourages people to examine the structural roots and dynamics of violence in the conflict and the imbalance of power that perpetuates it.

The four founders of the project are Ali Abunimah, Arjan El Fassed, Laurie King-Irani, and Nigel Parry.

EI needs your support. For more information about financially supporting the work of the Electronic Intifada with U.S. tax-deductable donations, or to get in touch, see the Contact section.

Electronic Intifada founders are regularly featured in the media, appearing as talk show guests, interviewees, experts on aspects of the conflict, and -- during times of crisis on the ground -- as stringers and a background resource for journalists.
