Palestinian question

القضية الفلسطينية

Position on Palestinian rights, statehood, and self-determination — strong support (positive) vs. opposition (negative).

Scoring rubric

How positions are calibrated on this axis. The conventions guide the scorer; anchored examples show how known MENA actors land at -10, -5, 0, +5, +10.

Score the actor on the Palestinian question. Positive: strongly pro-Palestinian, supports Palestinian statehood / right of return / anti-occupation framing. Negative: opposes Palestinian statehood, supports West Bank annexation, anti-Palestinian framing. Most MENA Arab parties cluster +5 to +9; Israeli parties span the negative half. The score should reflect the actor's POSITION not their feasibility-of-action.

Cross-axis correlations

How parties' scores on this axis covary with their scores on each other axis. Pearson r runs from −1 (perfect inverse) to +1 (perfect identity); 0 means independent. Computed across all parties scored on both axes (n shown per row). Strong correlations expose which axes are really measuring the same cleavage in the data; near-zero values are the ones with the most additional explanatory power.
