Report by an Israeli non-governmental organisation says 2011 was a record year for Palestinian displacement.
This infographic comes from the group http://visualizingpalestine.org This corresponds with the UN's recent statement that Gaza 'will not be liveable by 2020' given Israeli policies as reported by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19391809

This article explains the devastating demolitions that are caused by large -scale military operations such as the War on Gaza in 2008-09. Ten years ago, a 23 year old man (Corrie) was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer when he and his group of activists were acting as human shields to try to stop the Israeli army from demolishing Palestinian homes and clearing out the land around the Palestinian town of Rafah.

If Pyongyang is as bent on war as it wants us to believe, why is it keeping the inter-Korean Kaesong industrial complex open?

North Korea War
The North Korean leader is showing that he is pro war but the actions that he is taking lead us to believe that he is "All Talk". Does he really feel that war is the best option at this point or does he just want to seem like he is the best.

This article showcases the importance of positive relations between countries and how it impacts the political geography. In this case, it is between North Korea and South Korea. North Korea has sent signals of starting a war for a long time now, so many times that people can now call its bluff. It is mostly because of the Kaesong Industrial Complex that employs both North and South Koreans. It is an incentive for both countries to remain friendly, if not, at least civil.

So there are a few missing...but still a fun interactive resource for teachers and kids.
Browse the timeline of war and conflict across the globe.
This database of global wars and conflicts is searchable through space and time. You can drag and click the both the map and timeline to locate particular battles and wars, and then read more information about that conflict. This resource would be a great one to show students and let them explore to find what they see as interesting. This site is brimming with potential.

the potential of this site is amazing between the interactive learning system and the correlation between the timeline and location. If the human geography class is anything like this i can't wait for it!

This map shows tha tthere are an overwhelimg amount of Arabs especially in centeral Syria. And then on the coast lline it is mostly mixed with pink representing the overwhlming other majority.
It appears from this article that Syria is a complicated country. The map shows the different ethnic and religious groups of Syria, along with other groups, all of which live within a small area. Syria, along with other countries within the Middle East have been faced with one serious issue or another. Many different people live within a very small area; those people practice different religions and are ethnically and culturally different. Unfortunately, being different in this part of the world may get you killed.
Maps such as this one are very valuable when trying to understand conflict. In Syria and the greater Levant area, unbalanced power and representation in politics is the result of many different religious and ethnic groups living in such close proximity each other, allowing conflict to become very invasive.
