Alison Weir (journalist)
Alison Weir is an American journalist. She is the founder and executive director of the non-profit organization If Americans Knew (IAK) and president of another US-based non-profit, the Council for the National Interest (CNI). Both organizations are concerned with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She is the author of "Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel.〔http://www.amazon.com/Against-Our-Better-Judgment-History/dp/149591092X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427233045&sr=8-1&keywords=against+our+better+judgment〕
Weir has described the founding of Israel as a “holocaust.” She has called Israel a “violently imposed, ethnically based nation-state,” and has compared it to the 9/11 terrorists.
She has been criticized by groups such as the Anti-Defamation League, which has called her “a prominent voice in the anti-Israel movement,”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.adl.org/israel/anti_israel/alison_weir/ )〕 and by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), which has called her reports “preposterous” and “unreliable.”
==Activism==
Weir traces her interest in the Israeli-Palestinian issue back to the autumn of 2000, when the second intifada began. At the time she was “the editor of a small weekly newspaper in Sausalito, California,” and noticed that news reports on the conflict “were highly Israeli-centric.” Wanting access to “full information,” she “began to look for additional reports on the Internet.” After months of study, she decided that “this was perhaps the most covered-up story I had ever seen” and quit her job in order to visit the West Bank and Gaza, where she wrote about her encounters with Palestinian suffering and with the “incredible arrogance, cruelty, selfishness” of Israelis. After returning to the U.S., she founded If Americans Knew.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://alisonweir.org/welcome/ )〕
