[Peace-discuss] Help the Palestinians. Go See This Movie

Seriously (I guess), the only purpose for any event that documents the
resistance of the Palestinians is to recruit support and develop strategies for
supporting the resistance of the Palestinians, which might actually involve
struggle and resistance in Champaign-Urbana, against the institutional forces
that support U.S. foreign policies that support Israel. A showing at Hillel
obviously makes a mockery of this. But perhaps that's the point anyway.

Another idea for a venue would be Hillel, yes, seriously. I saw THE LEMON TREE,
a very pro-Palestinian film, at Hillel a couple of weeks ago.
