Renowned author and analyst Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies talked to an audience in Portland, OR on May 18, 2015 riffing off of the US government's own claim: That there is no military solution to the Islamic State (ISIS) and its violent takeover of large swaths of Iraq and Syria. Speaking over an internet connection from Washington, DC, Bennis offered up an 8 point plan to resolve the situation. She also gave information on the situations in Yemen, Israel/Palestine, the broader region and in the peace movement in the US. Her encouraging words noted that all movements, from climate change to Black Lives Matter, are interconnected to the military budget and the ongoing overseas wars. Bennis' then-upcoming June 2015 book is titled "Understanding ISIS and the New Global War on Terror." -------- The videoconference was held at the Multnomah Friends Meeting House in Portland, with video and audio provided locally by Mugnen Cakes, and recorded by PC Peri of Flying Focus. The event was hosted by the Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group.
