[Peace-discuss] Fw: [Peace] palestine video group seeking sponsorship

[Lisa Chason]

I definitely think we should sponsor this. Just the name itself is worth
it -- The Palestinian Truth Tour. I think there should be many, many
programs here on Palestine -- even going into overload --  until we reach a
critical mass that translates into mental regime change.
