Alison Weir is executive director of If Americans Knew, a research and information-dissemination institute that focuses on Israel-Palestine, and president of the Council for the National Interest, an NGO based in Washington D.C. and founded by former Congressmen and diplomats. Weir first began to study the U.S.-Israel relationship after traveling to the Middle East as an independent journalist in 2001. She has lectured internationally on the American connection to the region, and her essays and articles have appeared in a number of books and magazines, including The New Intifada (Verso), Censored 2005 (Seven Stories Press), Encyclopedia of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Rienner), the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Counterpunch, and The Link. Weir appeared on C-SPAN as a speaker at the historic National Summit to reassess U.S.-Israel "special relationship".
