Films - U.S. Policy and the Peoples of the Middle East: What’s In It for Us?

What is the relationship between the violence “there” and the violence “here?” How are the conditions of people “there” connected to what happens to them “here?” TONIGHT: Palestine Is /Still/ the Issue (Pilger, Great Britain, 2002, 53 min.) Three decades after the first Israeli-Arab War drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into exile, and a decade after the Six Day War brought millions back under Israeli occupation, John Pilger first filmed "Palestine Is Still the Issue." Twenty years later, he finds it still the issue -- only uglier, bloodier, more painful for all. For complete schedule, see http://www.ucsf.edu/global/pages/film_festival.html
