The Atlas contains detailed maps of 84 parks or forests planted on illegally seized Palestinian land by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in 1949- 1950. It is shown that JNF controls 20% of Israel’s area and growing, not 13% as generally reported. Israel’s area as declared on 14 May 1948 is about 20,500km2, or 78% of Palestine area. The Jewish controlled area at the end on the British Mandate of Palestine is about 1,500 km2, or 6% of Palestine area. Israel seized by military force 72% of Palestine.

Each park in the Atlas is described by 6 maps and tables, showing the official map of the park, superimposed on it the area of every Palestinian village land seized by JNF, Satellite image of the park, tables of the seized land from each village, the names of its landowners, the refugee camps in which they reside now, the Israeli military operation which expelled them, the incidence of massacres.

The Atlas contains a general map of the numbered parks as a guide.

The Atlas contains a field survey of the parks showing their encroachment on Palestinian village lands and the building of parks and Jewish settlements on their lands.

The Atlas contains maps of the National Water Carrier feeding the parks from waters syphoned off from the West Bank, Upper Jordan and Golan Heights.

The Atlas contains a review of JNF violations of Domestic and International Laws, its participation in ethnic cleansing, population transfer and ethnic cleansing in 1948.

In particular, the Atlas describes in maps the fictitious sale in which JNF seized over 2 million donums of the refugees' land in order to block their return.

The data in this Atlas is an important legal tool for court cases under domestic and international laws for Palestinians to recover their land seized by JNF and their entitlement to compensation This requires a legal action to nullify JNF’s tax-exempt status as Charity.

This version No. 2 of the Atlas is presented in 450 pages in portrait format for greater clarity of the maps. When the park map area is large, it is shown in two adjacent pages. Spaced pages are introduced for greater clarity.
