Welcome to I-gnite
I-gnite was established in the aftermath of the Gaza conflict in 2021 to support students, teachers and parents to find their voice when discussing Israel and antisemitism. Never has our work been needed more than now.
With so much information flooding our screens about the war in Israel, we have assembled a selection of verified, easy to use resources in one place, giving you quick and easy access. We hope to empower you with knowledge in your conversations at this difficult time, when tensions are high and the authenticity of sources is constantly questioned.
This site is by no means exhaustive and is being constantly updated, so please be in touch with any useful resources you may come across. Please bookmark this page and spend time immersing yourself in the site.
