Since 1948, the Palestinian people have been under occupation and brutal oppression at the hands of the Zionist Israeli regime. 62 years later, the discussion remains on what the solution is for Palestine. 

This special event will features guest speaker Richard Becker. He is a noted writer and commentator on Middle East affairs. Becker has visited the Middle East on numerous occasions. He led fact-finding delegations to Palestine in 2000 and 2002, during which he delivered medicine to Palestinian hospitals. Becker helped produce the video Palestine Fights for Freedom (2002) based on his experiences. He has been a featured speaker at political forums and conferences in the United States and across the world. Richard Becker is the Western Regional Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). ANSWER has organized mass protests of hundreds of thousands of people against the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine from mid-2002 to the present.
  
This event is part of a US/Canada speaking tour with Becker's new book, "Palestine, Israel and the US Empire."
“Becker gives us the most sharply focused and penetrating analysis we have of the real dynamics at work in the continuing persecution of the Palestinian people. He calls for international unity among all people to end this tragic injustice. Hear his call and join in the struggle.” 
—Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general, former litigation attorney for the Palestine Liberation Organization
