color:black'>Arise is hosting an event open to everyone on the Israeli-Palestine
issue!</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br>
<br>
Due to the recent Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip, and the ensuing violence,
the chance for a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Israelis and
Palestinians seems to be slipping away. With that said, it is imperative that
everyone understand the truth about what is going on in the occupied
territories--not what the U.S. media is saying. We are showing the movie <i>Palestine
Is Still The Issue</i> by Jon Pilger, followed by a discussion open to everyone
on recent events and the chances for peace. Light refreshments will be served. <br>
<br>
The event will take place at Arise For Social Justice, 467 State Street,
Springfield Ma, 01101. The date of the event is Thursday Feb. 19 from 7-9 p.m.
Please come!<br>
<br>
