Unlike the other four presidential candidates, Democrat Bernie Sanders declined the invitation to speak at the AIPAC– American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference– in Washington on Monday, and instead delivered a foreign policy address in Utah. The speech has gotten wide circulation because of its affirmations of Palestinian human rights.
A pity that this speech was so larded with AIPAC talking points. still, refreshing to hear a USA politician speak kindly of Palestinians and their need for security, etc.
Because you think everyone at AIPAC is a right-winger, and that nobody has ever talked about ending the occupation at AIPAC before. You’re incorrect and not well informed.
I don’t think there would have been these facial expressions. They knew they would have to expect a J-Street speech at an AIPAC venue. Not such a horrible big deal.
Don’t know why it never happened before, but I’ve definitely got a crush on Katie now.
Katie Miranda –
Great!
