   At the [1]Greater Philadelphia District of the ZOA

     WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21.2007

     Steve Erlanger, NYT Jerusalem Bureau chief, will join us as we
     question him about his coverage of the Middle East, and
     particularly his "news"story that ran in the NYT on March 12th,
     [2]A GENERATION LOST: The Second Intifada; Years of Strife and Lost
     Hope Scar Young Palestinian Lives. *

     Following the interview with Erlanger, we will be joined by
     [3]Richard Landes, BU History Professor and an [4]expert on media
     manipulation. Landes will discuss the various levels of dangers
     presented by the mainstream media's portrayal of Israel - and the
     NYT is the Mother of all Mainstream Media!

     We will also have the opportunity to chat with H. Patrick Swygert,
     president of Howard University. Swygert swiftly and courageously
     nullified a decision by a rogue portion of the Howard University
     faculty to force the university to divest its holdings from Israel.

     As always, join hosts Lori Lowenthal Marcus and Steve Feldman who
     bring you the news from and about the Middle East that you won't
     hear anywhere else.
