COMMUNITY News:

The Los Alamos community is invited to join a book discussion group sponsored by Stand With Us, an international, nonpartisan Israel education organization that inspires and educates people of all ages and backgrounds, challenges misinformation, and fights antisemitism.

This is a follow-up to the movie and discussion at the SALA Los Alamos Event Center on Oct. 9, where we showed the film “October H8te”. The group intends to educate about antisemitism and the Israeli-Arab conflict from a historical point of view. The group intends to “reveal the lies behind the popular slogans that call for the destruction of the only Jewish state on earth and demonize Israel for fighting a war for its very survival.”

The public is invited to join the book discussion group at 5 p.m. on Dec. 18 at the Mesa Public Library (time and place may change; please register for more information) to discuss the book “Industry of Lies: Media, Academia, and the Israeli-Arab Conflict” by Ben-Dror Yemini. From the back cover: “Ben-Dror Yemini presents an in-depth analysis of the many inaccurate and malicious accusations leveled against Israel and refutes them one by one in this thought-provoking and well-researched volume that invites us to rethink the causes and consequences of the Israeli-Arab conflict.”

During this kick-off event, we will propose the next series of books and discuss the best meeting times for those interested participants.
