Title:
 Live from Jerusalem!!! Where are the voices of Peace?: The marginalization of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Movements in the U.S. Media
Description:
The Global Consortium for Sustainable Peace? is proud to bring together three experts with first-hand experience of war and peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Robert Jensen is a professor in the School of Journalism and Director of the Senior Fellows Honors Program of the College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. Professor Jensen is an expert on U.S. media and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lucy Nusseibeh, is the Director and Founder of Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND). Located in Jerusalem, MEND promotes active nonviolence and encourages alternatives to violence among youth and adults throughout Palestine. Gila Svirsky is an Israeli Jew deeply involved in peace and human rights activism. Gila?s efforts are focused on two organizations: Women in Black, which hold a weekly vigil (for 22 years) holding signs that say "End the occupation" and B'Tselem, which is an organization for human rights in the Occupied Territories. Please join us for an interactive discussion on the media in the U.S., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the serious efforts for peace.
