Complicity — follow the money, count the dead

An interactive dashboard that puts three timelines of Israel/Palestine (1947–present) on one clock — the harm, the money and weapons enabling it, and the growing global resistance — with every figure traceable to a named public dataset.

The Complicity dashboard: three synchronised timelines (2000–2025) labelled Harm, Enablement and Resistance on a dark interface, under the note 'Every figure sourced to public datasets'.

The project

Follow the money. Count the dead. Complicity is an interactive dashboard that puts three timelines of Israel/Palestine (1947–present) on one clock — the harm, the money and weapons enabling it, and the growing global resistance — with every figure traceable to a named public dataset in two clicks.

Rigour as advocacy

Rigour is the advocacy: uncertainty is shown as ranges, methodology seams are left visible, and reversals and failed campaigns are shown rather than hidden. The figures come from named public sources (UCDP, UN Comtrade, SIPRI), each cited on the site.

A permanent public resource

Built as a permanent public resource — non-commercial, no ads, nothing sold. It is the clearest statement of what Rusty Data is for.
