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.
Yep..LOL. Speaking of coincidental misfortunes, did you see this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2724051/posts, “Palestinian Prime Minister Has Heart Attack in Texas”? He was there for his son’s graduation on Sunday and had a heart attack. People were asking if Bibi was in the area at the time. :-)
HOOK 'IM HIGH!
Ditto! But, take heart - WE stand with Israel!!! Dingy Harry being on tells me that the Kenyan in the White Hut stepped in it big time and the Rats know it. NO administration will EVER come between Americans and our support for Israel!
9:45pm and counting. Watch Reid wind out the clock. Then Boehner.
Just like all leftists, Reid’s words mean nothing; they only reflect their perceived trouble spots and where they plan to deceive and double-cross if the opportunity presents itself; i.e., if they can got away with it.
