e) The role of the Israeli Zionist Lobby within America.
f) The inceasing co-operation between India & Israel, especially in Military and security matters would also be discussed.

Comrade Sanjay Singhvi (General Secretary TUCI) will preside and the panel would include Pratima Joshi (senior journalist), Sarfaraz Arzu (Hindustan Daily - Editor) & Feroze Mithiborwala (Convenor - Awami Bharat)
