On Thursday June 1st 2006, the Lebanese Club cosponsored "The Standup for Peace" night at the Hillel center in Isla Vista. The show, by Scott Blakeman and Dean Obeidallah, a Jewish and a Palestinian comedian, is a way to "help encourage a dialogue in support of a political, peaceful resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." It was a great night of dialogue and exchanging thoughts and ideas. The event was cosponsored by the MSA and the Hillel. We hope to have more joint events like this.
