Journalist-lecturer Alison Weir presents a powerful, well-documented view of the Middle East that is at odds with what is reported in the mainstream media in an appearance at 7 p.m. on Feb. 2 in the Warren Auditorium in Ives Hall at Sonoma State University. The event is sponsored by Project Censored and is called "Israel-Palestine: What the Media Leaves Out."
In 2001, Weir founded If Americans Knew, an independent research and information-dissemination institute, with particular focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, U.S. foreign policy regarding the Middle East, and media coverage of this issue.
Specifically, the organization's objective is to provide information that is to a large degree "missing from American press coverage of this critical region."
Admission to the lecture is $8 for public $4 for students. A sliding scale is also offered No one will be turned away. For more information, please contact Rachel Olea-Lizarraga, Project Censored Assistant Event Coordinator, at (707) 664 -3373.
