Middle East and North Africa Solidarity Day

 In the past year, there have been uprisings across the Middle East in
countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, and Yemen. The uprisings have
inspired people across the world. Yet these revolts have also raised other
questions that the media does not address in any meaningful way.

 We would like to address the topics that have been buried by the news:

 a. What is going on in regimes that are US Allies, such as Egypt, Bahrain,
Tunisia, etc. (6-8 minutes of presentation, followed by 14 min of
discussion)
 b. What is going on in regimes that are not US allies, such as Syria and
Iran (6-8 minutes of presentation, followed by 14 minutes of discussion)
c. Where does Israel/Palestine fit into the regional context? (6-8 minutes
of presentation, followed by 14 minutes of discussion)
d. What are the economic interests and institutions behind US and European
intervention in the region? (6-8 minutes of presentation, followed by 14
minutes of discussion)

 Join us at Occupy Boston for a day of discussion on the Middle East and
North Africa! We invite everyone to come!

 When: Sunday December 4, 4-6 pm
Where: Occupy Boston (Dewey Square next to South Station)
