40 years on

Al-Jazeera shows these pictures of the 1967 Middle East War, now, to highlight that it is this week 40 years ago. Also you can visit their theme site on the anniversary.

BBC gives this commentary on the event's importance for the region today and shows these pictures of West Bank conflict resolution training for children.

Svenska Dagbladet on Tuesday leads their editorials with this. Swedish radio's morning talk programme ran several stories to highlight the occasion. Aftonbladet runs an editorial comment on Palestinians in Lebanon.

Amnesty International takes the opportunity to call for a watchdog body to monitor human rights violations taking place. Read more on this here.

7 June update: this Svenska Dagbladet-piece by Cordelia Edvardsson is among the most thoughtworthy (as usual by this remarkable journalist!) I have read this week.
