Alison Weir 

Alison Weir is a U.S.-based anti-Israel activist, antisemite, president of the Council for the National Interest and founder of the organization If Americans Knew. On social media and in articles, she frequently deploys antisemitic tropes, including the idea that a powerful Jewish lobby controls U.S. foreign policy. She has posted on Facebook that “the Israel lobby dominates both parties.” She has claimed that Israel systematically harvests the organs of Palestinians and that Judaism gives “religious permission to kill a non-Jew in order to provide body parts to Jews.” She has also asserted that Judaism is “such a ruthless and supremacist faith.” In 2015, radical anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for Peace formally dissociated from Alison Weir, citing her history of propagating or being complicit in bigotry, including antisemitism.
