Her essays and articles appear in CounterPunch, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and a number of anthologies, includin g THE NEW INTIFADA and CENSORED 2005. She speaks widely both nationally and internationally, including lectures at Harvard Law School, Columbia, Berkeley, Stanford, the Asia Media Summit in Kuala Lumpur, and two briefings on Capitol Hill.She is currently working on a documentary, has produced six videos on Israel-Palestine, and is featured in a number of films made by other organizations, including "Off The Charts," by Alternate Focus. Your World's Magazine has featured exclusive contributions by Ms. Weir over the last few years as well as reprints from other publications she has provided us. Two editions ago, we also featured the video, linked to above, which drew considerable comment. Those comments led us to choose her as the first subject of our new podcast series.Our colleague, Tom Parish, for whom I act as podcast producer on various occasions, was nice enough to be the interviewer in this instance.
