LEBANON: FROM DESTRUCTION TO RESISTANCE
Saturday, January 13, 2007
3:00 PM
Old Bergen Church
1 Highland Ave. at the corner of Highland and Bergen
Jersey City, NJ
(minutes from Journal Square - take the PATH to Journal Square, and walk down Bergen Ave. to the church)
In the past year, the people of Lebanon weathered a brutal Israeli invasion that saw over a thousand Lebanese killed, massive destruction to Lebanon's civilian infrastructure, including airports, roads and bridges, the dropping of over a million cluster bombs on Lebanon, and a wholesale attack on the Lebanese people; a complement to the ongoing Zionist war on the Arab people of Palestine.
Since the people of Lebanon, and their resistance forces, repelled the invasion, the people's movement in Lebanon has only grown stronger, despite the massive destruction. Surging from their resistance, millions of Lebanese have taken to the streets of Beirut, filling the squares and staying in downtown Beirut, struggling to achieve their demands.
See a powerful film documenting the human cost of the war on Lebanon, and hear from an activist who recently returned from Lebanon, where he attended the massive demonstrations in Beirut...
Film Showing: "SAMIDOUN" ("Steadfastness") - a multi-media journey through the 34 day war in Lebanon and its aftermath, by Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern - Samidoun is a multimedia presentation of the recent war in Lebanon and its aftermath, produced by award-winning independent reporters Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern. Interweaving still photography, audio and video, Samidoun is a uniquely intimate look at the human cost of this conflict that took the lives of over 1200 people, wounded thousands more, and displaced over one million.
Speaker: BILL DOARES, a New York-based activist with the International Action Center and Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, who recently returned from a month in Lebanon with a delegation that attended a major international solidarity conference in Beirut, toured the towns of South Lebanon deeply impacted by the war on Lebanon, and attended the major demonstrations in Beirut, speaking with participants, organizers and leaders.
Please join us for this informative and powerful event!
