On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Alison Weir, the Founder and Executive Director of If Americans Knew. She discusses the purpose of her organization as being to educate Americans on Israel’s historical and contemporary crimes against the Palestinians, which are paid for with their tax dollars, the mainstream media’s whitewashing of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and omission of the US’ role in Israel’s atrocities, an incident where the FBI visited her over her work, and the threats she faces, the smears of ‘anti-Semitism’ against those who oppose Israel’s action, the power of the pro-Israel lobby and AIPAC over all levels of government, and much more.
