Against Our Better Judgment Promo
Donation protected
Over 300 Amazon reviewers have given Alison Weir's book Against Our Better Judgment 5 stars, repeatedly saying it is "eye-opening," "should be read by all Americans" and, in many cases, that it completely turned them around on Palestine.
But there have been numerous efforts to suppress the book. Just recently yet another venue prohibited If Americans Knew from being a vendor there, thus preventing attendees from learning of the book.
And this is just the latest in such actions.
We feel that the best way to counter this is to promote the book as widely as possible, using both online and print promotions. The harder our opponents work to suppress the book, the harder we'll work to promote it to reach even more people than the banned table or booth would have reached.
Anything and everything you can do to help us will be greatly appreciated! Every contribution of any size helps! Please donate here.

Below are some of the Amazon Customer reviews that show why Israel partisans don't wish Americans to read the book:
"this book should be read by everyone in America and the rest of the world."
"Every American should read this and write their congressman about our one-sided support for Israel."
"Everyone should read this. I didn't know any of this, growing up in America. The mainstream media doesn't tell us about this, but the author documented it very well."
“It can be read in a few hours. It has the potential to change the world.”
"I bought several of them as a gift to few of my friends and they were amazed... they were in the dark and had no clue about the real truth. I give it a high '5'"
"This book surpassed my expectations by far. I learned something new on every page..."
"What a painful history. One of the best books about this era and infuriating too. I wish everyone would read this to learn the truth! Amazing."
"The book can change your total perception of the world we live in. One of those books I will try to get all my relatives and friends to read. Well researched and without prejudice. Among the top 10 best books I've read in my lifetime."
"Lot of surprises. I thought I knew my post-WWII history, because I lived through it. Turns out that the mainstream media have an axe to grind in stories about Israel. This book opens your eyes to that bias."
"I have studied the Israeli situation for decades, reading both sides of the issue. This is the best I have read and confirms what many writers, both Jewish and otherwise have covered. "
"This is info I never was aware of at the time, but I remember the movie Exodus, which was a real 'sell' job"
"A great read, it was hard to put down. At first I had questions as to why the hostility in the region, after reading this book I have a better understanding, now I want to learn more."
"Having grown up through WWII, taught and believed that all the Jews deserved their own country and that the US and the western world owed them this with all our support, moral and financial, I have been totally blown away by Ms. Weir's work. Immensely documented, attractively written."
"A totally informative book... and scary. Because there seem to be no end to this conflict created by a bunch of fanatics who not only have become master at propaganda but have a complete disregard for either human suffering or existing international laws. How many more thousand children must die before voters become aware that before voting the first duty of a citizen is to be fully informed."
"This book had me crying and in rage over the devastation that the US had in creating the devastation and loss of freedom to Palestinians."
"Having been a Dispensationalist who took for granted that we Christians must support the government of Israel (without bothering to check my Bible, as the Bereans did), it wasn't until a Christian friend of mine who worked in Palestine as a nurse told me that we in America don't hear the real story and told me about what she saw that I began to look into the issue myself and pray for the truth no matter where it led. I am certain that God led me to pray that way for I'd have never thought to on my own. But I had no idea the extent to which Zionism (not to be confused at all with Judaism) has infiltrated not only the Church but our media, our government, and our foreign policy until I read this book."
"I will simply say that for ME, it was an EXCELLENT book. Well written with plenty of FACTS. A very educational book which I believe belongs in EVERY school & library in this nation. Note: I was a lifelong "Republican" who voted for both Bush's. The time is long past that Americans like myself stop being fed ONE side of the story. It's time to educate ourselves and get "the rest of the story".
"Kudos to Alison Weir.. !! I recommend this excellent book to anyone interested in TRUTH. Israel has one and only one "existential threat", and that is TRUTH........ I'm an old Sephardic Jew with actual historical and ancestral connections to Palestine."
"Excellent, concise history of how the U.S. has been used to displace Palestinians from their lands. Nostra maxima culpa. We need to take back our Congress from Zionist exploitation. To our shame, Congress has been bought. Israel profits; Palestinians suffer. Those who dare to speak the truth are slandered."
"Alison Weir is a heroic and trustworthy truth-teller in an arena which tests everyone's fortitude--because the other side has a blank-check to injure or wound anyone who dares to take on the barbarous Goliath."
"I was ashamed after reading this book. Like many Americans, I had always heard our Presidents backing Israel and the mainstream media portraying Hamas as just another radical Islamic terrorist group. I had never taken the time to read about the history of Zionism, how the state of Israel came to be and how the Palestinians were forced off their land, their homes destroyed and men, women and children slaughtered.
I am grateful to Alison Weir for her book which has led me to continue ongoing, out of the mainstream research and an in depth understanding of the real Israel and the plight of the Palestinians. I have become a voice to urge others to learn the truth. I have had letters to the editor published in local newspapers and I have contacted my government representatives voicing my opinion on the U.S. continued aid to Israel. I pray for them."
"Just an excellent, eye opening, book! I, like most Americans, had always believed that Israel was the victim in the Middle East, buy this book really helped to clarify exactly how much they have been the aggressors and instigators of much of what happens. I urge everyone to educate themselves and read this book."
"Allison Weir is a brave woman who is not afraid to speak the truth. In this era of extreme censorship and propaganda Allison Weir has thoroughly researched and published a book that she most certainly received death threats for. Let this woman's actions be an example for all individuals so that they may learn to think for themselves. 'If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.' - Malcolm X"
