DESCRIPTION:The Arab American Cultural Center of Silicon Valley invites you to a 
 thought provoking Film Screening & Q&A event: The Occupation of the 
 American Mind with Alison Weir.\n\nIsrael’s ongoing military occupation 
 of Palestinian territory and repeated invasions of the Gaza strip have 
 triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere 
 in the world—except the United States. The Occupation of the American 
 Mind takes an eye-opening look at this critical exception, zeroing in on 
 pro-Israel public relations efforts within the U.S.\n\nNarrated by Roger 
 Waters and featuring leading observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 
 and U.S. media culture, the film explores how the Israeli government, the 
 U.S. government, and the pro-Israel lobby have joined forces, often with 
 very different motives, to shape American media coverage of the conflict in 
 Israel’s favor. From the U.S.-based public relations campaigns that 
 emerged in the 1980s to today, the film provides a sweeping analysis of 
 Israel’s decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of 
 the American people in the face of widening international condemnation of 
 its increasingly right-wing policies. - Film's Press Kit\n\nProgram
