DESCRIPTION:Announcing the much awaited book release of the first Counterpunch book 
 Politics of Anti-Semitism edited by nationally syndicated columnists, 
 Alexander Cockburn and \nJeffrey St. Clair\n\nAlexander Cockburn and other 
 contributors will be speaking at the AK Press warehouse October 18th, 2003 
 at 7pm.  Admission is free.  Location 674 A 23rd St., Oakland\n\nHow did a 
 term, once used accurately to describe the most virulent evil, become a 
 charge flung at the mildest critic of Israel, particularly concerning its 
 atrocious treatment of Palestinians?  One answer is that there’s no more 
 explosive topic in American public life today than the issue of Israel, its 
 oppression of Palestinians and its influence on American politics. Yet the 
 topic is one that is so hedged with anxiety, fury and fear, that honest 
 discussion is often impossible.  One source of honest discussion over 
 recent years has been the print and online journal CounterPunch, edited by 
 Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair.  It has become a must read  for 
 hundreds of thousands a month who no longer believe  anything they read in 
 the mainstream press beyond the sports  scores. On the subject of Israel 
 and Palestine, the Israeli lobby in the U.S., the current Middle East 
 crisis, and its ramifications at home and abroad, CounterPunch and 
 www.counterpunch.org have been unrivaled.  \n\nThis groundbreaking book 
 includes essays by Edward Said, Robert Fisk, Norman Finkelstein, Shaheed 
 Alam.  This first book in the new CounterPunch series is a timely anthology 
 on the compulsion of silence and complicity in crimes against a betrayed 
 people.\n\nFor more information on this event, please contact: Angela at AK
