PEN Canada presents Embattled Truths: Reporting on Gaza
February 24, 2016
PEN Canada presents acclaimed US journalist Max Blumenthal, author of The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza, on the challenges of sifting truth from propaganda when reporting on conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Searching for truth within the fog of war is particularly consequential in dispatches from Israel's occupied territories. Depending on where we get our news, Gaza is either a terrorist haven and a legitimate military target, or a zone of unjustified violence against a captive civilian population.
Presented in partnership with Another Story Bookshop and Independent Jewish Voices in honour of Freedom to Read Week.
Time: 7 pm - 8:30 pm
Venue: Toronto Reference Library - Atrium
Location: 789 Yonge Street Toronto, ON
