Campus forum on Lebanon war

Wednesday, November 17, 1993 - 11:00

ADELAIDE — On August 17, 70 staff and students gathered in the Flinders University student union building for a forum on "The war in Lebanon — is peace possible?" The forum was addressed by David Palmer, senior lecturer in American Studies, and Mohsen Safieddin from the Australian Lebanese community.

Palmer said that the Israeli invasion and bombing of Lebanon was closely coordinated with the US government. Safieddin spoke about his personal experiences during the previous Israeli invasion, in 1982. He said that Israel's recent war on Lebanon had hurt all groups within the country.

The forum was organised by an independent network of students and teaching staff. If you would like more information about future campus forums in Adelaide, phone Sam on 0403 672 858.
