TFF does not work with the larger Middle East and the Israel-Palestine conflict inside it. But the situation in spring 2002 is so serious that we feel we cannot ignore it on our website.
We want to help disseminate information and assist our visitors in understanding and taking action for peace. What you find below – a work in progress by the day – is by no means systematic, comprehensive or impartial. But it offers access to perspectives often left out in mainstream media coverage, including nonviolent options and possible longterm solutions.
We will post links, analyses and articles as we find them. So come back soon and read more.
