 LECTURE SERIES entitled: \nAFTER GAZA: WHAT NEXT FOR ISRAELIS AND 
 PALESTINIANS?\n\nPhyllis Bennis has been a writer, analyst, and activist on 
 Middle East and UN issues for many years.  While working as a journalist at 
 the United Nations during the run-up to the 1990-91 Gulf War, she began 
 working on U.S. domination of the UN, and stayed involved in work on Iraq 
 sanctions and disarmament, and later U.S. war and occupation in Iraq. In 
 1999, Phyllis accompanied a group of congressional aides to Iraq to examine 
 the impact of U.S.-led economic sanctions on humanitarian conditions there, 
 and later joined former UN Assistant Secretary General Denis Halliday, who 
 resigned his position as Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq to protest the 
 impact of sanctions, in a speaking tour. In 2001 she helped found and 
 currently co-chairs the U.S. Campaign to End Israeli Occupation. She works 
 closely with the United for Peace and Justice anti-war coalition, and since 
 2002 has played an active role in the growing global peace 
 movement.\n\nBennis is in charge of the New Internationalism Project at the
