About us

Palästina-News is a private non-profit initiative and usually consists of summaries of articles from English-language online newspapers, online portals, publications, newsletters, etc. The summaries of the original English articles are translated into German and published together.

The summaries of the original articles published here are sometimes highly abbreviated and may therefore not fully reflect the opinions of the authors. For this reason, links to the original articles are provided in the «References» section, so that the reader can access them directly…

Palästina-News is published once a month and can be obtained free of charge (also outside Switzerland) by providing an e-mail address and name.
