The state of Israel turns 60 - some insights here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/middle_east/2008/israel_at_60/default.stm

So does the the 1948 Palestinian exodus also known as the Nakba which refers to
the refugee flight of Palestinian Arabs during the last 6 months of the British
Mandate and the First Arab-Israeli War. It is referred to by most Palestinians
and Arabs as the Nakba, meaning the "disaster", "catastrophe", or "cataclysm."
More than 700.000 refugees then, 60 years later over 4 million.

TFF brings you relevant analyses, sharp journalistic texts and facts - and stand
up for people whose intellectual freedom is attacked while most Western media
and foreign ministries turn their blind eye.

extremely little coverage by Western mainstream media
