Author and journalist Alison Weir will discuss her book on the history of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship," analyze media coverage of the issue, and report on why the U.S. gives Israelis 7,000 times more than to others around the world.
Learn about the real roots of the violence in Israel-Palestine as Weir covers the history and context ignored by mainstream media.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation, and copies of "Against Our Better Judgment" will be available for purchase.
Sponsored by Mt. Diablo Peace & Justice Center and Rossmoor Voices for Justice in Palestine

I am not able to travel to Walnut creek and am aware of this topic for I have been to Alison's lecture here in San Francisco in 2015. I am concerned that we have not have had a rally here in San Francisco since 2014. This topic is going cold fast. A California legislator by the name of Travis Allen was trying to pass an anti BDS boycott Israel bill and I was concerned if that bill did in fact pass? And if so , it is unconstitutional and blatantly racist. Hypocritically ridiculous. In light of the murder of Lavoy Finnicum in Utah we should all be paying very close attention to what our governments, state and national are up to.
Why is the Walnut Creek Public Library giving a venue to white supremacist Alison Weir ?
Backgrounder on Alison Weir from the US Campaign to end the Occupation- a group that has publically disavowed Alison Weir:
Alison Weir has been a frequent guest of white supremacist Clay Douglas on his hate radio show, the Free American. Clay Douglas is concerned primarily with the survival of the White race. Examples of his racist, homophobic rhetoric can be easily found on the internet
"In the course of Weir's appearance with Clay Douglas on August 25, 2010, she was silent when Douglas invoked the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and engaged in a racist diatribe against Jews. Her troubling associations and choices further include giving interviews to a range of far-right outlets including The American Free Press, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as a hate group, and the anti-gay, anti-Jewish pastor Mark Dankof."
Her work has also been featured on the website of the former head of the Klu Klux Kan, David Duke
She has not disavowed, debated, or challenged the thinking of any of these outlets individuals or institutions.
