DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to People Power and Popular Resistance in the Middle 
 East with Dr. Sharat Lin, who was an eyewitness to the massive 
 demonstrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square, and Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta, author 
 of Refusing to Be Enemies.  \n\nSharat Lin, President of the San Jose Peace 
 and Justice Coalition, was in Egypt during one of its most life affirming 
 historical events, the mass uprisings which swept away the 30 year old 
 dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. Even though the military is now in control, 
 the people in Egypt still have more freedom than they have had in decades, 
 thanks to a broadbased coalition of nonviolent activism. Dr. Lin will show 
 photos and a short video from Tahrir Square and discuss his perspective, 
 based on his 5 years living in the Middle East and his research, on the 
 Egyptian peoples' revolution and its import for the region and the world. A 
 medical researcher by training, Sharat brings his interests in problem 
 solving, inventiveness and healing to his analysis of sociopolitical 
 trends. \n\nThe event begins with Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta's  discussion 
 based on her recently published book, Refusing to Be Enemies: Palestinian 
 and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli Occupation. Ms. 
 Kaufman-Lacusta is a Jewish Quaker and dual citizen of Canada and Israel. 
 Her book is based on interviews with about a hundred Israeli, Palestinian 
 and international nonviolent activists, many of them colleagues from her 
 seven years of living in Jerusalem. \n\nAfter Sharat Lin's presentation, 
 there will be Q&A with both presenters and then a reception with 
 booksigning. \n\nThe event is sponsored by the Resource Center for 
 Nonviolence and the Palestine-Israel Action Committee. There is a requested 
 sliding scale fee of $5-$15 but no one will be turned away for lack of 
 funds! \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/05/10/18679406.php
