DESCRIPTION:David Barsamian and Eyad Kishawi: How to win Liberation in the Middle 
 East\n\nA tribute to Dr. Edward Said\n\nSaturday, October 18th @ 2pm\n\n110 
 Capp St (between 16th and 17th) (Capp is one block east of Mission 
 St.)\n\nSponsored by Haymarket Books and the International Socialist 
 Organization\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nIf you cannot sanction 
 terror against a hapless populace, if your humanity is outraged by the 
 suffering and oppression of an entire people, if you are indignated by 
 unbridled imperialism and shameless coercion, if your heart has ever hurt 
 at the suffering of innocent children, if you agree it is an absurdity that 
 over a quarter of children born in an historically fertile land are 
 suddenly malnourished, if you are against apartheid, racism, collective 
 punishment, dehumanization, extra judicial killings, and the indiscriminate 
 inaction unimaginable horrors upon the feeble, the old, the weak and the 
 young,\n\nIf you think freedom and liberty are the inalienable birthrights 
 of every human being...\n\nThen you know that this is not only the story of 
 the current occupation of Iraq.\n\n~~~~~~~~\n\nCome hear David Barsamian on 
 how to continue the struggle for the liberation of Palestine in the great 
 tradition of the late Dr. Edward Said.\n\nAn outspoken critic of Israeli 
 aggression in Palestine, Dr. Said spent a lifetime educating people about 
 the plight of the Palestinian people and exposing the lies and the 
 doublespeak of the Israeli and the Palestinian establishment. For decades 
 he was writing, traveling, lecturing, a presence, almost a force of nature, 
 an echo in a void of spirit and compassion. Dr. Said's extraordinary 
 commitment to justice for the Palestinian people immensely helped bring to 
 the world the Palestinian peoples' narrative of tragedy, struggle, and 
 hope, despite overwhelming odds. David Barsamian's prolific history as an 
 author includes two book-length interviews with Dr. Said, The Pen and the 
 Sword, and his most recent publication, Culture and Resistance.\n\nDavid 
 Barsamian is the founder and director of Alternative Radio and the winner 
 of the ACLU's 2003 Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism. A radio 
 producer, author and lecturer, Mr. Barsamian has been widely lauded and 
 named as one of the Institute of Alternative Journalism's "Top Ten Media 
 Heroes". Mr. Barsamian is well-known for his many interviews with Noam 
 Chomsky: Chronicles of Dissent, Keeping the Rabble in Line, The Prosperous 
 Few and the Restless Many, Propaganda and the Public Mind, and Class 
 Warfare. He is currently working on a book with Arundhati Roy as well as 
 one featuring his interviews in The Progressive.\n\nMr. Barsamian will be 
 accompanied by Eyad Kishawi from the Free Palestine Alliance and ANSWER. 
 Mr. Kishawi will be leading a discussion on the current state of the 
 imperialist occupation of Iraq and Palestine and how activists can get 
 involved in the national protests to be held on October 25th in San 
 Francisco and Washington DC.\n\nThe ISO and Free Palestine Alliance support 
 the call by ANSWER and United For Peace and Justice for the October 25th 
 demonstrations against these imperialist occupations. Come find out how you 
 can get involved in helping to build and publicize this mass 
 protest!\n\n\nFREE PALESTINE! FREE IRAQ! U.S. OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST!\n\n
