Podcast: Richard Becker - Eyewitness Syria

Resisting U.S. Aggression in the Middle East

Richard Becker, West Coast organizer for the ANSWER Coalition, spoke at an ANSWER LA forum on Jan 6 about Syria. He attended an international conference in Syria in December on Palestinians and the Right of Return. He speaks about the conference, on the increasing US threat to Syria, how Palestine, Syria, and the war in Iraq are related, and what the anti-war movement can do.

Becker, who has been an organizer for 30 years, has a huge command of the facts and details the history of the region and the US government’s attempt to militarily dominate it in this cogent, sometimes quite humorous talk.
