Max Blumenthal is a journalist and author whose articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, The Guardian, Alternet, Mondoweiss, Electronic Intifada, Salon, Al Jazeera English, and other publications. Blumenthal will speak about his newest book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel. This event will be followed by a talk with Amy Goodman.

This event is part of the In Pursuit of Cultural Freedom lecture series. Cultural Freedom events feature philosophers, journalists, writers, scholars, and social justice activists discussing political, environmental, and human rights issues not normally covered by the mainstream media. The format of these events is that of a talk on a specific subject for around 45 minutes, a brief intermission, then a conversation for 30 minutes.

If you attend the event, we’d love for you to post a photo! On Twitter, use @democracynow and #AmyGoodman. Please tag us on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you!
