The American Studies Club 'The Forum', welcomed Jewish American activist Anna Baltzer here at the SUNY College at Old Westbury. Her lecture titled "Eyewitness View: Israeli/ Palestinian Conflict Today" is based on her life changing experiences in the Middle East. In her lectures and media appearances, Blatzer has noted that she was raised in California with a traditional positive view of Israel as a peace seeking democracy that was faced with the fearsome challenges caused by its Arab neighbors. Upon visiting the region, first in 2003 and many times subsequently, she found that the history and present of Israel and Palestine were significantly different from what she had learned growing up in the United States.

Baltzer today actively promotes Palestinian human rights and works to educate others about what can be done to support a just peace for all people in Isreal and Palestine. She has lectured at over 400 venues including universities, schools churches, mosques, and synagogues around the world. Anna is no stranger to the media having appeared in over 100 interviews including Comedy Centrals, 'The Daily Show", last month. Earlier this year Anna received the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee's prestigious Annual Rachel Corrie Peace and Justice Award.
