Nedugo kasnije u intervjuu je rekla kako smatra da su joj [[Irak|iračke]] žene i djeca jednako dragi kao žene i djeca vlastite porodice odnosno da zajedno predstavljaju jednu veliku obitelj, te da je stoga imala osjećaj da će zapravo bombardirati sami sebe.<ref>{{cite press release |date= 2006-01-05 |url= http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=707 |title= Global Women Launch Campaign to End Iraq War |publisher= CodePink: Women for Peace |access-date= 2014-09-06 |archive-date= 2010-04-09 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100409122421/http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=707 |dead-url= yes }}</ref>

U januaru [[2009]]. Walker je bila među 50 potpisnika peticije koji su na [[Filmski festival u Torontu|filmskom festivalu]] u [[Toront]]u osudili [[Izrael]] kao „[[apartheid]]ski režim“.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/05/filmmakers-react-anti-israel-film-festival-protest/ |title=Toronto film festival ignites anti-Israel boycott |newspaper=The Washington Times |author=Brown, Barry |date=5. 9. 2009.}}</ref> U martu iste godine, zajedno sa 60 drugih ženskih aktivista iz antiratne organizacije ''Code Pink'', putovala je u [[Pojas Gaze]] kao odgovor na nedavno završeni [[Rat u Gazi 2008.-2009.|rat]] i angažirala se u nagovaranju [[Izrael]]a i [[Egipat|Egipta]] da otvore svoje granice prema blokiranom [[Palestinci|palestinskom]] području.

Godine [[2012]]. Walker je odbila dati dozvolu za [[Hebrejski jezik|hebrejski]] [[prijevod]] svoje knjige ''[[The Color Purple]]'', s izlikom da Izrael „krši [[međunarodno pravo]]“ i „provodi [[apartheid]]“<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/alice-walker-israel-color-purple_n_1610175.html|location=New York|work=[[The Huffington Post]] |author=Huff Post |title=Alice Walker Refuses Israeli Publisher Permission To Translate 'The Color Purple' |date=19. 6. 2012.}}</ref>. Njena odluka dočekana je uz oštre kritike kod [[Cionizam|proizraelskih]] pojedinaca i organizacija – [[Alan Dershowitz|A.

S druge strane, izraelska analitičarka i novinarka [[Elisheva Goldberg|E.

Leventhalom, da joj je kćer polujevrejka, da je na ekranizaciji knjige ''The Color Purple'' surađivala s jevrejskim režiserom [[Steven Spielberg|S.
