This data set gives Goldstein scaled totals that summarize the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict from April 1979 - December 2003. These
are dyadic or directed actions from one party towards the other. Data
are weekly starting April 15, 1979. Positive values indicate
cooperation, negative values indicate aggression. These are a subset
of the Levant dataset from the Kansas / Penn State Event Data System Levant
dataset. The data are from Reuters and AFP news sources and encoded
into the World Event Interaction Survey (WEIS) coding system and
Goldstein scalings using the Penn State Event Data System TABARI
program. Source data can be found on the KEDS site below.
