In light of the catastrophic situation in the Middle East, we have decided to compile for our readers an electronic dossier containing crucial information for our ongoing efforts to oppose the war.

In this dossier you will find statements by public figures who are determined to raise their voices in conscientious opposition to this madness.

Current Concerns is a bimonthly independent newspaper produced by a group of concerned intellectuals in Switzerland. It is edited by the independent volunteer cooperative Zeit-Fragen. The cooperative also publishes the weekly German-language Zeit-Fragen as well as the French-language monthly newspaper Horizons et Débats.

Please share this information as widely as possible – Spread the word!

We are looking forward to your response.
The Editorial Staff of Current Concerns
