DESCRIPTION:Former journalist Alison Weir will explore findings from her book, "Against 
 Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create 
 Israel," which documents the history of the Israel Lobby in the United 
 States. Weir will also discuss distorted media coverage of the region, her 
 trips to Gaza and the West Bank, and why American taxpayers continue to 
 send Israel nearly $10 million per day. \n\nWeir is the founder and 
 executive director of If Americans Knew. She is one of the most prominent 
 and controversial analysts on Palestine today, with a variety of Israel 
 partisand and others attempting to block her talks and prevent awareness of 
 her book, while diverse others, including 2,000 activists who have signed 
 an Open Letter supporting her (among them some of the most respected 
 justice advocates in the US and Palestine), praise her work and consider 
 her book essential reading. Over 22,000 copies of her book have already
