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.
“The war is lost.” Gag.
P.S. Thanks for the thread, onyx.
Blame it on the IMF Chief
I think you're exactly right. It's mostly all about Obama...what a creep Reid is!!! He just said we sustain Israel's Glow....hahahaha...they Glow with or without us....
that was bad, I shouldn’t have said that ...
falsestinian state.
I
can’t
stand
it
!
Do my ears deceive me?
Or did Dingy just continue to walk back Obama’s comments of last week?
Reid needs the hook.
Someone tell him that he’s NOT the keynote speaker!
I would stay up to listen to Bibi.
But not Harry Reid.
I gotta go to bed, now.
sounded like a threat to me....
I’m counting on it Mesta....and you need to take it easier their Lady! Don’t bust a gasket over stressing yourself “where angels fear to tread”....
does he hav e an APPLAUSE light behind him or what
I thought it was a taped applause track provided by the DNC...
How about this:
Yes...I know it's photoshopped but really, isn't that pic a great perception of the feminine marxist?
Yep, Dingy seemed to say what the Hermanator said. These peace negotiations should be ONLY between the two sides and NO ONE else! (Got that Obie?)
We will make certain to post the CSPAN LINK to the replay of Bibi’s speech.
Good night, dear FRiend!
Gray Mouse...
Mr. Jingles.
