Students for Justice in Palestine presents: Palestine Is Still The Issue Date: Wednesday, March 3 Time: 7:00 pm Place: UCLA Royce hall, room 190 In 1977, the award-winning journalist and film-maker, John Pilger, made a documentary called Palestine Is Still The Issue (1977). In this in-depth documentary, he has returned to the West Bank of the Jordan and Gaza, and to Israel, to ask why the Palestinians are still caught in a terrible limbo -- refugees in their own land, controlled by Israel in the longest military occupation in modern times.

In a series of extraordinary interviews with both Palestinians and Israelis,

John Pilger weaves together the issue of Palestine. He speaks to the

families of suicide bombers and their victims; he sees the humiliation of

Palestinians imposed on them at myriad checkpoints and with a permit system

not dissimilar to apartheid South Africa's infamous pass laws.
