Richard Becker's new book, Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire, provides a sharp analysis of the struggle for Palestine - from the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel and its role as a watchdog for U.S. interests, to present-day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution. The narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation. Here is a necessary contribution to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Join us for a presentation and discussion that will interest both long-term Palestinian rights activists and those who are new to understanding the issue.

Oscar Grant was shot in the back by BART Policeman Johannes Mehserle while lying face down on a BART platform. Mehserle will be sentenced on November 5th and we need to get out on the 23rd to show the sentencing judge that we mean business. It took video evidence AND a massive outpouring in downtown Oakland to even get the District Attorney to charge Mehserle. It will take people in the streets to get the killer cop jailed.
Following the rally, at 4:00pm, several Peace and Freedom candidates for statewide office will participate in a candidate forum in North Oakland.

On Tuesday, October 12, Dominican University in San Rafael will host a televised debate between two of the candidates for Governor, Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown. Why just two candidates? Why not our candidate for Governor, Carlos Alvarez, and Green candidate Laura Wells and Libertarian candidate Dale Ogden and AIP candidate Chelene Nightingale?
The Peace and Freedom parties of Marin and nearby counties will join with other supporters of open debates to protest the exclusion of four of the six candidates. We will gather at 4:00pm at Acacia Avenue and Grand Avenue, near the Dominican campus in San Rafael (MAP). Please join us. The debate starts at 6:30pm and the demonstration will last until about 6:00pm.
Unlike the sponsors of the statewide televised debates, the League of Women Voters invites every candidate to participate in its forums. The Peace and Freedom candidate for Congress, Gene Ruyle, will participate in a taped debate with Republican Jim Judd, Libertarian Joel Smolen and Democrat Lynn Woolsey on October 13 in Novato. This event will be broadcast multiple times on the Marin community access channel, Channel 26. Check the community television listings for specific times. Video may also be posted on the county League of Women Voters website.
Gene won the first debate hands down. It was held in Santa Rosa on September 20. You can watch the video on line at this link.
