DESCRIPTION:An 8-week lecture series for the general public\nfeaturing five of the 
 country's top Middle East history scholars.\n\nThis series is an 
 unprecedented collaboration between \nArab, Jewish, and other 
 professors.\n\nThe current situation in the Middle East is grim and 
 confusing. It is a subject filled with preconceptions and misinformation. 
 Few of us know the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and we're 
 not getting much help from the media. In order to be able to function 
 better as informed citizens, we need to know more.\n\nA Jewish Voice for 
 Peace is responding to this need with a lecture series on the history of 
 the Israel-Palestine conflict presented by Professors Beshara Doumani (UC 
 Berkeley), Joel Beinin (Stanford), George Bisharat (Hastings School of 
 Law), Ahmad Dallal (Stanford), and Stephen Zunes (University of San 
 Francisco).\n\nNo prior background in the field is needed. You can attend 
 as many or as few lectures as you want. The series is designed to survey 
 the history of the conflict, but each lecture is independent of the 
 others.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMonday 
 nights 7:30pm - 9:30pm October 21 to December 9.\n\nGeary Theater, Lower 
 Lounge (415 Geary, at Mason--Powell Street BART)\nParking available at the 
 Downtown Center Garage (corner of Mason and O'Farrell) \n\n$10-$20 per 
 lecture (sliding scale. $5 students/low income)\n$60-$160 for the whole 
 series (sliding scale. $30 students/low income)\n\nTickets and passes will
