Elder of ZiyonFrom the Point Reyes Light:
Two West Marin community centers faced the same decision earlier this month: whether to allow a controversial pro-Palestinian activist to deliver a talk on Gaza, where many believe Israel is perpetrating genocide.The Dance Palace said yes. The San Geronimo Valley Community Center said maybe—but not right now. It wants time to deliberate.Alison Weir, a nationally known activist who lives in Nicasio, fears she is being censored for her opposition to Zionism, as do some of the local activists organizing anti-war protests and fundraisers to benefit Palestinians.“I was astounded that they wouldn’t talk about Gaza when anybody who’s paying any attention knows this is an extremely tragic, massive problem,” Ms. Weir told the Light. “To just say ‘No, we’re not going to talk about it?’”
Completely absent from the coverage is that Alison Weir is an antisemite.
Her website, "If Americans Knew,"' still describes Judaism as "a ruthless and supremacist faith." She's complained that there are too many Jews on the Supreme Court. She's promoted the literal blood libel. Her site has numerous false quotes from the Talmud. Her personal site quotes an 1894 antisemitic book that blames Jews for antisemitism, saying "this race has been on the contrary an object of hatred to all the peoples among whom it has established itself....it must be therefore that the general cause of anti-Semitism has always resided in Israel itself and not in those who have fought against Israel."
The article mentions that Jewish Voice for Peace expressed uneasiness at Weir's willingness to be interviewed by antisemites, and she defends herself for it. But she herself expresses classic antisemitism - and then pretends that she is only controversial because of her anti-Israel stance.
This is how antisemitism gets laundered as just another valid opinion.
