While Washington, D.C., is increasingly consumed with bickering between Democrats and Republicans, the U.S.-Israel relationship remains the one issue that transcends the partisan divide. In a display of this bipartisan spirit, more than half of Congress will attend tonight's Gala Banquet, which will fill a room large enough to fit the Washington Monument on its side.
This year, however, for the first time ever, Hall D/E, as massive as it is, cannot fit all delegates and guests for a sit-down dinner. As a result, all student delegates will be seated in the Ballroom Banquet in Ballrooms A, B and C. Each banquet will feature live and simulcast appearances as well as unique programming. The major speakers tonight—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, House Majority Leader John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid—will appear personally in both banquet halls.
Representatives from more than 65 countries—including ambassadors from China, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey and the Netherlands—will be seated at tonight's dinner.
Senators, members of Congress, administration officials, foreign diplomats and other VIPs at the banquets will have their names read during the Roll Call, a lively Policy Conference tradition that has been a crowd favorite for many years. AIPAC National Board members Amy Friedkin and Michael Tuchin will join AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr for the Roll Call.
The Gala Banquet will be the end of a full day of Monday programming. The morning kicks off with an address by Reverend Dr. Tony Crisp. After the morning plenary, delegates will head to lobbying workshops, where they will learn from AIPAC's top experts how to make the case for Israel on Capitol Hill tomorrow.
thx for the thread....God is in you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't tread on the Promised Land, or they will **** you up! As long as the Moslem Ubama is in charge, Israel and Bibi are the leaders of the Free World
All I can say is
Netzah! I am Proud of Israel
“While Washington, D.C., is increasingly consumed with bickering between Democrats and Republicans, the U.S.-Israel relationship remains the one issue that transcends the partisan divide.”
Let’s see how that relationship works.
American Jews love Democrats. Democrats hate Jews and Israel.
American Republicans love Israel. Americans Jews for the most part hate Republicans and everything they stand for. For some of them, this means Israel as well.
It is pretty well reasonable to conclude that American Jews need some serious relationship counseling.
Thanks onyx. I dont want miss this. Window is open and waiting for the start. BTTT!
Thanks for starting the thread and posting the links to watch it!
Standing by.....
GO BIBI!!
I really hope they don’t boo him.
This man is anointed by the Lord. ok flame away.
Ping
I am going to be truly upset, if he is pre-empted or the video is not available for some reason.....
GOD be with Bibi and the people of Isreal!
My sense is that a dangerous subsection of American and European Jewish people have become so convinced of their safety and security in Europe and the Western Hemisphere that they no longer see any value in a "Jewish Homeland." Thus, they have decided to cut it loose and let it be devoured by Islam. The rich and powerful are in Beverly Hills and other rich enclaves. No antisemitism to speak of here. Nothing to worry about. They control vast swatches of the American and global economy and, more importantly, the governments. The religious and the patriots can have Israel and the headaches it brings. The folk with the money are tired of the stalemate and, as their nests are very well feathered today, they are pushing Obama to dump Israel. Axelrod. The ballerina, may others see or have no use for the troubled pain in the kiester called Israel.We are witnessing a dumping of that allegedly failed concept by the rich and powerful. Who are the enemies of Israel?
If I am BiBi I am asking huge Israeli Donors to either give to GOP or not giving at all.
Its at 9:30.
More like George Washington. Israel and Jewish people are no synonymous.
I’m watching CSPAN2 now. They have a graphic at the bottom of the screen that says Netanyahu’s speech will be live at 8:45PM EDT?
Who is more evil. A little dictator with a funny mustache who kills Jews or a tall, skinny dictator who empowers Israel's neighbors to annihilate Jews?
I dont even give to the GOP any more and until after the primaries. Only to the candidates that I support.
Thanks for the update on the time. I hope Bibi ripps Bambi a new one.
That’s now been changed to 9:30 ET. Harry Reid will be shown speaking live at AIPAC at 8:45 ET and Senator Boehner at 9:15 ET
We gotta get this guy a Hawaii birth certificate.
