A powerful recent documentary, narrated by Alice Walker, makes a reasoned argument comparing the South African apartheid that ended in the 1990s with today's relationships between Jews and non-Jews in Israel and the Occupied Territories. Israelis and Palestinians, controversial foes, two peoples locked in an inescapable relationship. But can Israel be "the only democracy in the Middle East" when rights for Arabs in Israel and the Occupied Territories are unequal? The Levantine Cultural Center presents a one-night only screening of Roadmap to Apartheid, cosponsored by Ms. Bana Hilal, Souhail Toubia, MD, the Council on American Islamic Relations of Greater Los Angeles and the Cousins Club of Orange County. The film will be followed by a public conversation. Light refreshments served. Tickets $10 advance/$8 members, $12 at the door. RSVP to 323.413.2001.

[Los Angeles-MAY 1, 2013] On Friday, May 17, progressive comedienne/actor and activist Roseanne Barr presents "Mideast Masters of Jazz," a progressive be-bop quintet starring sax maniacs Gilad Atzmon and Zane Musa, performing together LIVE for the first time. The event will be hosted at The Mint in Los Angeles, accompanied by some of the best be-bop musicians in Los Angeles. To be sure, jazz as well as rock, heavy metal, hip hop and blues are all-American music originals, but they are genres that are constantly being challenged and reinvented by swingers in the Middle East-by composers, singer-songwriters and musicians who are both natively Middle Eastern but strongly western in their tastes and travels.
