DESCRIPTION:It's that time again, get ready for the next Alexander Berkman Social Club 
 meeting!\nThis month we will be meeting a day earlier, Wednesday, August 
 26th, so mark your calender accordingly.\n\nOur guest this month will be 
 Eyal Rozenberg, an anarchist visiting form Israel/Palestine.\n\nHe will be 
 be speaking on the inter-relation of ethnicity and class in 
 Israel/Palestine.\n\nSince the 1950s a common saying in Israel is "taamid 
 dofkim et-ha-shchorim", which means "they always fuck the blacks". Israel 
 is at the same time a capitalist project, a nationalist project and a 
 colonialist project, and being an Arab or being a Jew of non-European 
 descent has always meant that statistically, you're in the lower classes. 
 But it's not as simple as that, and Israeli Capitalism has had in recent 
 decades very interesting strategies of containment, demobilization and 
 co-optation of movements and organizations which have attempted to link the 
 ethnic, the racial or the national (Palestinian)struggle with the class 
 struggle.\n\nEyal Rozenberg is an anarchist and Ph.D. student in Computer 
 Science at the Technion, Haifa. He was an Executive Committee member in the 
 Technion Graduate Students' Organization, and helped form the Technion 
 Teaching Staff Organization. He is active in Koach La-Ovdim, a new 
 multi-industry general union. Rozenberg was drafted into the IDF at 18, but 
 quit military service in the middle and is the editor of the Conscientious 
 Objector's guide to the Military Prison System\n\nWe look forward to seeing 
 you soon, and remember, as always, there will be snacks, raffles, and 
 comradely good cheer!\n\nWednesday August 26th, 7pm\nABSC Meeting 
 Rooms\n522 Valencia St., San Francisco\n$5 (or $4 w/membership card) \n
