Understanding Israel Palestine
This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.
In the last part of a series on the Israel lobby in the United States, Alison Weir, founder and executive director of If Americans Knew, a non-profit established more than 20 years ago to educate Americans about the Israel-Palestine conflict, discusses some of the many groups and individuals that comprise the Israel lobby, why and what Americans should know about them, and how Israel’s advocates have been responding to the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and the controversy over Israel’s war in Gaza.
