Methodology
What gets published and why.
Zionism Atlas publishes relationships involving Israel or Israeli entities when public sources support a specific, documentable claim.
01
Research
A proposed relationship starts with public information and an identifiable source record.
02
Source check
The source is checked against the claim and the relevant facts are structured for the atlas.
03
Review
Unsupported, unclear or ambiguous claims stay out of the public atlas.
04
Publication
Approved relationships become searchable by country and entity, with their public source or source reference.
Publication standards
The atlas records specific relationships. It does not infer relationships from identity, background or assumed beliefs.
A relationship must describe a specific, documentable connection between entities.
Religion, ethnicity, ancestry, identity or presumed ideology are not treated as a basis for a relationship.
Indirect relationships are not presented as direct relationships with the Israeli state.
Dates, amounts, locations and external identifiers are stored when the source supports them.
Public pages show safe source metadata and structured facts; internal review material remains private.
Public records
Published pages show the entities, relationship type, structured facts and public source metadata. When a public URL exists it is linked; identifiable document references can also be shown without a fabricated URL.
Private review material
Verification excerpts, AI reasoning and reviewer notes are used internally and are not shown to visitors.
