I just read Jimmy Carter's article in the LA Times outlining his
history, motives and positions on Palestine and Israel. The point
about people in the U.S. being kept ignorant about Palestinian
life and society relates to this rare opportunity to learn something.
I heard Mohammed Omer this morning on Sonali Kolhatkar's show.
He was iinformative, measured and calm' someone one can learn from.
Take advantage of this, his final appearance in the area. -Ed

MORE ABOUT: Mohammed Omer
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs Gaza correspondent Mohammed Omer
will be embarking on his first U.S. speaking tour on Nov. 26. In the 15-city
tour, sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Omer will
provide eyewitness accounts of the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip
to the magazine's readers and the general public.
As a photographer for Agence France-Presse (AFP), writer (for the Vermont
Guardian, ArtVoice Weekly, Swedish dailies Dagen Nyheter and Aftonbladet,
Norwegian dailies Dagbladet and Morgenbladet, the German daily junge Welt,
the Basque daily Berria, and the Swedish magazine Arbetaren),

(RafahToday.org ),
Omer will use his many talents to describe life as a Palestinian journalist
under occupation. The youngest member of the Gazan press corps, Omer was
recently named winner of the New America Media's "Best Youth Voice" Award.
He has experienced more pain, death, fear, destruction, hatred and despair
in his 22 years than most people will experience in a lifetime. "Words are
my weapon against injustice, hate, starvation and oppression," he explains.
With his bulletproof vest and Cannon D20 in hand, Mohammed is on the front
lines.

Subject: Latina film festival this weekend!
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:25:50 -0700
Josefina Lopez, author of Real Women Have Curves, and Courage
Productions invite you to celebrate the voices and visions of Latina
filmmakers in the second annual Boyle Heights Latina Independent
Film Extravaganza (BHLIFE).
BHLIFE will be a celebration of Latinas, their voices and their visions.
The mission of the festival is to build a network of Latina filmmakers
that will draw attention to the growing number of Latinas working behind
the camera. The films of these Latinas constitute a body of work that
will act as a powerful statement against the stereotypical portrayals of
Latinas on screen. Films will be screened in the categories of youth
media, feature length dramas, feature length documentaries, dramatic
shorts, documentary shorts, experimental shorts, and erotica.
Over 50 films are featured in the festival. These come from local Boyle
Heights artists as well as from filmmakers representing diverse Latino
communities throughout the country. The cities represented include
Boston, New York, Chicago, Tucson, Houston, Austin, San Francisco,
Oakland and Los Angeles.
The festival will begin with a screening of the feature length film,
Buscando a Leti, a film that addresses the immigrant experience from
the point of view of those that are left behind, in this case, children
in Mexico. This opening night event will include a discussion of current
immigration legislation. The film's director will be present and USC
Professor Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, whose research focuses on
Mexican undocumented immigration and transnational families,
will facilitate the discussion.
The film festival will take place at CASA 0101 Theatre, 2009 East First
Street in Boyle Heights - December 8-10, 2006.
For more information regarding the program, please contact: Katynka
Martinez, Festival Director, at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or visit

Reservations may be made at casa0101.org
We hope to see you soon!
