Kathleen Christison (born 1941), an American political analyst and author
Kathleen Christison, an American author who spent sixteen years as an analyst for the CIA, was critical of attempts to use Twain's humorous writing as a literal description of Palestine at that time.
The last seven years before her resignation from the agency in 1979 saw her work there centered on the Middle East; and according to Robert Dreyfuss's 2005 book Devil's Game: How The United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam (p.160), "Kathy Christison...headed the CIA's Egypt desk from 1973 to 1977."

In her book, Perceptions of Palestine, Christison examines how perceptions, attitudes, and policies of the United States government towards the Palestinians and Israel over the last century have contributed to the irresolution of the conflict.

At a conference entitled “I Am My Brother’s Keeper: Confronting Islamophobia” held at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, Seattle on May 6–7, 2011, Christison stated that “The discourse in this country at the moment is very Islamophobic” and that the “anti-Muslim discourse,” is driven by “pressure from the pro-Israel lobby and Islamophobia lobby."
