Blase Anthony Bonpane (April 24, 1929 – April 8, 2019) was the director of the Office of the Americas in Los Angeles, California, which he co-founded with his wife Theresa in 1983.
Throughout his life, he worked on human rights issues as well as the identification of illegal and immoral aspects of United States government policy.
Bonpane served as a Maryknoll priest in Guatemala and was assigned by the Cardinal of Central America as National Advisor to Centro Capacitacion Social, a center for university and high school students working in the field with indigenous people on matters of health, literacy and labor organization.
He was expelled from that country in 1967 in the midst of a revolution.
(Guatemala: Occupied Country, Eduardo Galeano, Monthly Review Press, 1969) Blase Bonpane led investigative delegations to Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Honduras, Costa Rica and Peru.
He traveled through the conflict zones of Chiapas, Mexico together with Bishop Samuel Ruiz on a series of peace missions and served on the board of SICSAL, a hemispheric ecumenical secretariat based in Mexico City.
He also participated in peace missions to El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador and Iraq.
In 1983, Bonpane garnered notoriety following an appearance on Hot Seat, a television program hosted by conservative commentator Wally George.
An argument about the U.S. invasion of Grenada turned into a dramatic physical confrontation when Bonpane overturned George's desk, live on-the-air, and stormed out of the studio.
Bonpane received his PhD in Social Science from University of California Irvine in 1984.
He has served on the faculties of the University of California Los Angeles, California State University Northridge, and California State University Los Angeles.

In June 2018, Bonpane announced he would stop broadcasting World Focus.
On 15 May 2018, after 50 years of broadcasting, Bonpane retired from the program.
"Blase’s commentaries and his guests on World Focus were truth-tellers with a passion for justice, human rights, and peace. It’s an understatement to say he will be missed."
He died two weeks short of his 90th birthday on April 8, 2019.
