Alison Weir: How Political Zionism Enabled the Colonization of Palestine
Alison Weir, according to Wikipedia is an activist, but in my opinion a true journalist reporting on what is going on in the world. Much of what she has spoken of is true history, she could have gone further, but I assume is in her book. This is a video everyone should watch, to see the truth. People of the world, do not want war, nor do they want their families to die.

100 Years of Pro-Israel Activism: How a Special Interest Lobby Enabled the Colonization of Palestine. In spite of anti-free-speech efforts to get her controversial lecture in Berkeley canceled, on February 16, 2017, author and former journalist Alison Weir, courageously gave a presentation titled 100 Years of Pro-Israel Activism: How a Special Interest Lobby Enabled the Colonization of Palestine. She was warmly received by a well-informed Berkeley audience and received a standing ovation at the end. Alison covered in depth the creation of Israel in 1948 as a result of a worldwide movement called “political Zionism, “which was active in the United States since the late 1800s. After Israel was created, this movement – now known as the “Israel lobby” – continued to work on behalf of Israel. Today it is one of most powerful and pervasive special interests in the United States. Among its many achievements has been to re-define the term “Anti-Semitism” to increasingly make it mean criticism of Israel and or support for Palestinian human rights. Another accomplishment has been to procure massive US aid to Israel: on average, 7,000 times more than to others around the world. She also covered the unbalanced media coverage of Israel-Palestine, the role of Israel partisans in promoting the US War on Iraq, and the ongoing demonization of Iran. Her lecture was followed by a lively question and answer session from a well-informed Berkeley audience. This event was sponsored by the BFUU SJC and was given at the Fellowship Hall located at 1924 Cedar St., Berkeley, California.
