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.
That is because Churchill crossed the floor from Labour to Conservative. In his early years he was associated with the left, but eventually became one of the great Conservatives and great Britons of all time.
We’re praying for that very day!!!! God is listening.
He was a one of a kind and a genius at diplomacy.
Britian was very fortunate to have him at that time in their history.
That was plenty enough for me to disagree. The rest was just fluff.

I only wish he could run for president.
That picture of Zero with his finger on Bibi’s chest never fails to rile me! I wish Bibi had slapped the fool! :)
God is always listening. It is the masses that turn off the receiver. Bless you.
Get lost newbeeee.
>>>I only wish he could run for president.
All he needs is a reasonable Hawaiian long form :)
I’m sure she was..
We would be happy to “adopt” him here in the great state of Texas! :)
Well, we know that it will work. LOL
Can you imagine such a great leader during these dark times... It might be worth cheating. ;>)
He always is:)
Been meaning to ask, how have the Joker's '67 borders for Israel been recieved in your part of the country? We've got friends and family all over, AR, LA, TX, MS, MO and parts of of TN. The word from all of them is that EVERYONE they come in contact with it beyond ticked over this. The Joker was already detested in this part of the country, but his stance on Israel has everyone extremely ticked off!
Me either...Good one OnyX!....but there's an imposter sitting in that seat that thinks he's there for another four years. Let's do a trade...Israel would have him out the moment his plane landed! Wouldn't give him an inch...where'd we'd roll out the red carpet and then some for BiBi!!!
I'd settle for a 24 hour trade even! One man plus G-d equals an army!
Obama looks just like a chicago thug in that pic. What an embarrassment Obama is to our great nation.
Bibi showed great restraint in not breaking off that finger.
Well, I’m from Texas and the joker has always had me furious
at the moronic things he’s done to our beloved America!
Nope.
Well, I’m one state away from you in the South, (Mississippi) so we’re on the same page, but my family is in CA and they’re solidly with Israel of course. There’s no accounting for the godless.
