CC Note: The libelous accusations made below are unfounded and easily discredited by reviewing Ms. Weir's body of work.  It is common practice to use all of the characterizations stated below on any person whom questions Israeli foreign policy, (including former President Carter, Joseph Mandela and Congressman Issa of California) its influence on the US government and media or persons whom point to the more than 84 UN sanctions and daily crimes against humanity perpetrated on Palestinian Christians and Muslims by the Israeli government and military.  Defamation of character is their most powerful weapon and this is an example of how venomous it can be.

"Well, you all didn't think that we would have only men in our "Ratpack" section. Did you? Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me introduce you to Alison Weir. Ms.Weir is a rotten, leftist, liberal, Jew hating journalist. Ms. Weir is also the founder of an organization IF AMERICA KNEW.
At a recent speech held at Columbia University spoke about the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict. There she described Israel and America as being run by a "Zionist Regime". She also described the Palestinians as 'innocent" people. She even had the audacity to say that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is a War Criminal and worse than Adolf Hitler.
Ms. Weir denied the Holocaust ever happened.  She condemned President Bush in retaliating for 9/11/01 and supporting Israel. When asked in a question and answer period, What drives the suicide bombers and where she gets her information. Alison quickly sidestepped both questions. Instead she said, "There are extremist in every religion, especially the Jewish religion. Her examples were Baruch Goldstein, and, yes Rabbi Meir Kahane."

JDL-NY'S RESPONSE:
MS WEIR HOW CONVENIENT FOR YOU, AN AMERICAN TO MISUSE YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO CORRUPT OUR FUTURE LEADERS WITH YOUR HATRED AND LIES. MAY YOU ONE DAY KNOW WHAT LIVING IN TERROR IS LIKE"
