Discussion by foreign correspondent, Mark Lavie "Mideast Reporting: What you're Missing." C
orrespondent Mark Lavie has been covering the Mideast since 1972. He has watched the region change, for better and worse, and he has watched his profession change, mostly for the worse. The result is--you cannot get the full story from this vital region. That guarantees that US policy will be misdirected. Mark will explain why and answer your questions.
Free at the JHJC Center at 610 W. Broadway, Jackson.
Friday, Nov. 11, 6:30 p.m. Sisterhood Shabbat and inaugural meeting.
