The Real Aims Behind the Media Lies

Saturday, January 24, 2pm

ANSWER Office: 137 N. Virgil Ave., #201, Los Angeles 90004

(5 min walk from Vermont & Beverly Metro Red Line stop)

All organizers, activists, progressives and interested people should attend the Jan. 24 Los Angeles Public Forum and Teach-In on Palestine. As the media censors the true story of Palestinian heroism and suffering, we can discuss the true story and focus on how build more solidarity with Gaza.

? Why did Israel launch it?s deadly offensive against Gaza now?

? How does the assault on Gaza fit in with U.S. aims in the Middle East?

? What is the role of the governments of Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia?

? Can the U.S. and Israel achieve their goals?

? What can working people and students in the U.S. do to struggle for a free Palestine?

Speakers will include:

Dr. Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a professor of law in Jerusalem and is currently a visiting professor at UCLA's law school.
