At 7:00 p.m. EDT, this photo box will turn into the live feed from the Monday banquets at AIPAC Policy Conference 2011

Monday, May 23, 2011 - 10:00am

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.

[Dinah Lord]

Obama’s staffers issued a memo, I think ...

[KC_Lion]

I have NOT been paying attention to him, as Our Idiot Man Child President said ANYTHING about our destroyed city? We elect Putzes like Obama, Carter and Clinton, make them give up have their rightfully won land, criticize them to no end and STILL their leader comes to America and gives his sympathy to our town that got blown 8 ways to hell, you are all in the presents of a true leader.

[exit82]

Bibi: To all our supporters in this great hall, and to all the millions of supporters in this great land “THANK YOU!”.

Thank you for standing by Israel.

Israel is AMerica’s indispensable ally.

Israel and America stand shoulder to shoulder, fighting common enemies.

The idea that all men are created in God’s image. All equal under the law.

Jews spoke these truths thousands of years ago.

Your support for Israel flows from the heart.

It is not what Israel does, it is what Israel IS.”

Talks about walking along the Potomac.Read Jefferson’s words/Lincoln’s words.
