"Conservative pundit Glenn Beck will advise MKs on fighting the delegitimization of Israel abroad during a trip to Israel in July.

Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee chair MK Danny Danon (Likud) invited Beck, a Fox News and radio host and an outspoken supporter of Israel, to address the committee on how to recruit friends of Israel in the US to defend Israel’s right to exist.

“When we face an international wave of hatred of Israel and Jews – which is expressed in Facebook pages and films calling for our destruction – it’s good that Israel has talented friends that can contribute to our public-relations efforts,” Danon said.

The Likud MK added that the July 11 committee meeting with Beck will focus on September’s UN General Assembly, where the Palestinian Authority has said it will unilaterally declare statehood.

“September isn’t just a crisis,” Danon explained. “It’s an opportunity to explain to the world that we are not occupying anything.”

2. Awesome

The right-wingers in Israel are just as keen on creating their own universe as the wingnuts in the US.

3. Dalon is the bigot who just asked Australia to take Israel's African refugees...

I'm guessing him and Beck will get on like a house on fire....

4. Can someone who isn't a registered agent of this country address the legislature of

another country?

Obviously Beck is going to do this no matter what, but I'm curious. Billy Carter caught hell for not being a registered agent when he had his dealings with Libya in the Seventies.

5. Don't think he is addressing the legislature

Just a group of MKs.
