Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kfuyuqTgjHtUcx0Wy4w_V7Yh0tx6v7AJQ?emci=32f5bc16-cffe-ec11-b47a-281878b83d8a&emdi=7a59f5b4-d1fe-ec11-b47a-281878b83d8a&ceid=269591

On Israel and Palestine he said in his latest article Fascism on the March: “Flag Day” in Jerusalem, "The boisterous Zionist crowd was overwhelmingly young and male, typically in groups from Jewish religious nationalist schools. They mostly wore white shirts as a kind of collective uniform and waved Israeli flags attached to hefty broom sticks – and some, menacingly with sticks alone – to intimidate the Palestinian population."  On Syria he said, "I can say unreservedly that I love Syria and its people. Syrians are hard-working and invariably kind and welcoming – even to a visiting American from an enemy country. It with sorrow and shame that I recognize the efforts or my own government to destroy everything that is good here. Certainly the Syrians deserve a better government than the one they have, but it is a lie that the US is promoting democracy in Syria. Instead, the attacks and siege by the US and its allies are, if anything, hindering the reforms that are sorely needed."
