DESCRIPTION:...from Iraq to Palestine, making the connections   March 12th, 2004   
 6:30-8:00pm   Women's Building, 3543 18th St. #8, Auditorium   As the 
 Occupation of Iraq continues to look more and more like the Occupation of 
 Palestine, from barbed wire fences surrounding whole cities, the plowing 
 down of farmers fields, thousands of house to house raids of "suspected 
 resisters", to the indiscriminate killing of Iraqis, there is a question in 
 the US anti-war movement, can we be against the Occupation of Iraq without 
 taking up the Occupation of Palestine?   Please join us for this open 
 forum, as we look at the connections between the occupation of Palestine 
 and Iraq, the history of Israel's occupation of Palestine and Palestinian 
 resistance, and why the US government spends billions of dollars a year to 
 fund the Israeli Military Forces and support Israel. There will be an 
 interactive and open forum for discussion, debate and questions following 
 the speakers. Please come out to listen, question and discuss these 
 important issues that will help to propel the US anti-war movement forward 
 as we strengthen our politics!   Speakers:   Jess Ghannam is a 
 psychoanalyst and a professor at the University of California-San 
 Francisco. Dr. Ghannam is a grassroots activist and member of Al-Awda San 
 Francisco and The Palestine Right to Return Coalition's executive 
 committee. He current serves as the president of the San Francisco

 Palestinian activist from Ramallah. He is co-founder and co-editor of 
 'Between the Lines', a monthly alternative english-language magazine, a 
 critical political perspective of the Oslo process and the apartheid

 Francisco and is a member of the International Socialist  Organization.
