If Americans Knew is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the Arab–Israeli conflict and the foreign policy of the United States regarding the Middle East, offering analysis of American media coverage of these issues. Its mission, according to the group's website, is to provide "what every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine." The site is generally critical of U.S. financial and military support of Israel. It has accused The New York Times of being biased against Palestinians.
In addition to the freelance journalist and founder Alison Weir, board members include Paul Findley, a former United States Representative, and Andrew Killgore, a former ambassador of the United States to Qatar.

“I wonder that we Americans love our country at all, it having no limits and no oneness; and when you try to make it a matter of the heart, everything falls away except one’s native State;Mneither can you seize hold of that, unless you tear it out of the Union, bleeding and quivering.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
“Mrs. de Winter: Whenever you touched me I knew you were comparing me with Rebecca. Whenever you looked at me or spoke to me, or walked with me in the garden, I knew you were thinking, “This I did with Rebecca, and this, and this.” Oh, it’s true isn’t it?
Maxim de Winter: You thought I loved Rebecca? You thought that? I hated her.”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
