An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

On 28 September 2000 the Likud leader Ariel Sharon visited al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem, surrounded by a thousand police. The next day hundreds of young people protested in Jerusalem; police shot seven of them dead, marking the beginning of the al-Aqsa Intifada. The protests spread quickly through the West Bank and Gaza. The talks at Camp David had failed that July, when Israel made clear it would not discuss meaningful changes to the status of Jerusalem or the return of the refugees.

A ceasefire signed by Mahmoud Abbas and Ariel Sharon at Sharm al-Shaykh in February 2005 stabilised relations, and the encyclopedia ends the intifada that year. By then, it says, Palestinians had suffered around four thousand deaths and tens of thousands of injuries.
