[Peace-discuss] David Makovsky Talks at Hillel

[David Green]

The bottom line is that the 12:30 talk is by invitation only, while the 7:30 talk is open to the public. Only selected folks get to consider invading Iran, while all of us can be privy to "what it will take for peace" in Palestine.
   
  The sponsors stress that a wide variety of groups will be invited to the evening talk. I hope that this announcement will be widely distributed.
   
  Thanks.
