Ilan Pappe, a highly respected intellectual, teacher and historian, is very clear and outspoken. Born and raised in Israel, he is concerned that Israel will create disaster for itself and the Middle East unless it changes its current policies towards the Palestinians.

He is calling for a boycott of Israel and an end to the ethnically defined Jewish State. He asks for international help in ending the Apartheid system in Israel.

I thought I posted this a long time ago. It couldn't be more relevant considering current events. If you do not have a background on the events of Israel and Palestine's conflict, listen up.

Robert Fisk, foreign correspondent for the London Independent, received an exuberant welcome when he came to the Bay Area in December 2006. He spoke on civil war in Iraq and Lebanon and the ongoing denial of the genocide of one and a half million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915.

Even though he consistently criticizes the New York Times they described him as "probably the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain" He has over thirty years of experience in international reporting. His best-selling books, based on his field notes and recordings, offer strong criticisms of Middle Eastern governments as well as British and United States government foreign policy. He spoke on December 14, 2006, in Oakland, CA.

Relevant to today, Fisk briefly covers the assault of Lebanon by Israel in 2006.

Another good Parenti talk, in this one he gets into the incestuous relationship between church and state. He makes a great point about how the term "materialism" is abused by religious organizations.
