I am very excited that the Middle East Studies program has been able to bring Waltz with Bashir to Carlisle. It will play for four nights at the Carlisle Theatre, a cool art deco relic. On the last evening, next Wednesday, I will moderate a panel discussion after the showing. Among the panelists will be someone who was serving in the Israeli army at the time of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon - the events remembered in the film - as well as someone who was protesting the war as a member of Peace Now. How cool is that?
