Professors discuss viewponts on Gaza

Last Tuesday (2-17-2009) two distinguished professors came in to speak about the recent 22 day assault on Gaza by Israel. We were hoping to have a pro-Israeli perspective on the panel, but the person who initially agreed to participate bailed out last minute. The event went very well and there was lots of insight. The most interesting part of the whole event was that there didn't even seem to be any opposition to what the speakers said during the Q&A session, even when the Israelis [government] were described as "barbarians". I guess everyone in that room agreed with what was said.
Lot's of effort was made to have a pro-Israeli speaker appear on the panel but to no avail. Israel's apologist are tired of defending its brutal and apartheid policies against defenseless Palestinians. People are sick of hearing talking points and want to hear the truth.
