Middle East Delegations: Meet the People, Learn the Facts, Make a
September 11, 2006 | Comments Off
Thanks to Diane LeBow for sending this information about Global Exchange’s upcoming Middle East Delegations:
“Dear Friends,
I would like to let you know about several important up-coming delegations to the Middle East. With the recent invasion of Lebanon and siege on the Palestinian Occupied Territories, it is crucial, now more than ever, to examine the role of U.S. foreign policy within the region.
Through connecting with people and engaging with civil society organizations, U.S. citizens are able to bear witness to the wide range of ramifications resulting from the Bush Administration’s vision of a ‘New Middle East.’ The delegations also serve to present the diversity of opinions among Americans not represented within our government.
In this newsletter, you will find information for our up-coming delegations to the following countries:
‘ Iran: Oct 28 ‘ Nov 10, 2006
‘ Jordan & Syria: Dec 13 ‘ Dec 22
‘ Palestine & Israel: Dec 3 ‘ Dec 13
‘ Afghanistan: Mar 5 ‘ Mar 14
