Metapedia is an electronic encyclopedia about culture, art, science, philosophy and politics.

The word 'Metapedia' is derived from two concepts from classical greek: 'meta' that means 'outside' or 'beyond'; and 'enkyklios paideia' that means 'encyclopedia'. The name has a dual symbolic meaning:

• Metapedia sets its focus on topics that usually are not covered in — i.e. that falls outside of — mainstream encyclopedias.

• Metapedia has a metapolitical purpose, to influence the mainstream debate, culture and historical view.

The project is still in its early stages, but the database is growing every day and you are heartily welcome to contribute to the growth of this valuable and unique encyclopedia.

Israeli Art Students refers to a group of individuals arrested by federal law enforcement authorities prior to the terrorist attacks on America September 11, 2001. There is some controversy as to whether the Israelis posed any threat to national security. Some believe the art students were young tourists visiting America, attempting to sell their art work as a way to defer expenses. Others claim the Israeli art student phenomenon was an elaborate intelligence operation designed to circumvent federal drug investigations. It has also been suggested that some of the Israelis may have been monitoring the Arab hijackers that came to America prior to 9/11.
