DESCRIPTION:Haymarket Books & Lannan Foundation are proud to present:\nA conversation 
 with ALI ABUNIMAH & MAX BLUMENTHAL\nTHE FUTURE OF PALESTINE\n\nDoors open 
 6:30pm\n-------------------\n\nThe movement for Boycott, Divestment, and 
 Sanctions against the State of Israel has taken major strides recently in 
 the United States. With divestment votes moving forward on campuses across 
 the country, and votes to boycott Israeli institutions passed by the 
 American Studies Association and other organizations, discussions of the 
 movement and its objectives have entered the mainstream.\n\nAt the same 
 time, others have redoubled their efforts to suppress discussion of 
 Israel's escalating war against Palestinians, promoting legislation to 
 defund institutions that participate in boycotts, and pressuring university 
 administrations to punish students and faculty who support BDS.\n\nAli 
 Abunimah and Max Blumenthal will discuss their acclaimed new books, recent 
 developments in the Middle East and United States, and the prospects for 
 justice in Palestine.\n\nA book signing will follow the 
 event.\n\n-------------------\n\nALI ABUNIMAH is a Palestinian-American 
 journalist frequently called “the leading American proponent of a 
 one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” A co-founder of 
 the popular website Electronic Intifada, Abunimah has contributed to the 
 Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times. He has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, 
 and Democracy Now!, among many other news programs. His new book, released 
 in March, is The Battle for Justice in Palestine. \n\nMAX BLUMENTHAL is an 
 award-winning journalist and bestselling author whose articles have 
 appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Daily Beast, The 
 Nation, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, and Salon.com. Blumenthal’s 
 video documentaries have been seen on The Independent Film Channel and Al 
 Jazeera English. His 2009 book, Republican Gomorrah: Inside The Movement 
 That Shattered The Party, is a New York Times and Los Angeles Times 
 bestseller. His most recent book is Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater
