DESCRIPTION:  . . . barbed wire fences surrounding whole cities; the destruction of   
 farmers fields; thousands of house to house raids on 'suspected resisters'; 
   and the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians . . .  As the 
 occupation of Iraq continues to look more and more like the   occupation of 
 Palestine, the question arises for the US anti-war movement:   Can we be 
 against the occupation of Iraq without considering the occupation   of 
 Palestine?  Please join us for this open forum, as we look at the 
 connections between   the occupations of Palestine and Iraq, the history of 
 Israel's occupation   and the Palestinian resistance, as well as why the US 
 government spends   billions of dollars a year to support Israel and fund 
 the Israeli Defense   Force. Following the speakers, there will be an 
 interactive and open forum   for discussion, debate and education. Please 
 come out to listen, question   and discuss these important issues that will 
 help to strengthen our politics   and propel the US anti-war movement 
 forward!  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 currently serves as the 
 president of the San   Francisco American-Arab Anti-Discrimination 
 Committee.  Toufic Haddad is a Palestinian activist from Ramallah. He is 
 co-founder and   co-editor of a monthly alternative english-language 
 magazine, 'Between the   Lines', which offers a critical political 
 perspective of the Oslo process   and the apartheid reality which has been 
 established in its wake. He   currently resides in San Francisco and is a 
 member of the International   Socialist  Organization.  Noura Khouri is an 
 American born Palestinian, grassroots community   organizer. She is a 
 member of Mission for Peace as well as The International   Solidarity 
 Movement. She recently returned from Palestine where she   participated in 
 direct action with ISM.  Sponsored by:   Al-Awda, American Muslim Voice,
