	Palestine
	For a selection of recent news items compiled by Global Exchange, review our Palestine News Updates. The Palestinian-Israeli dispute is one of the longest unresolved conflicts in modern history. For over 55 years Israel has dispossessed the Palestinian people of their homeland via territorial conquest, occupation and war. During the 1967 war, Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. Since that time, the Palestinian people have been divided into three groups: three million living under Israel's occupation, one million living inside Israel, and four million as refugees dispersed throughout the Arab countries and worldwide. 2007 Palestinian Art calendars, by Resistance Art, are dedicated to the memory of Ghassan Kanafani. The calendars shed light on Palestinian cultural life and support Palestinian artists and cultural organizations.
