AIPAC Convention on C-Span Now...Dick Cheney and Academy Award Music

[KoKo]

It's quite a watch. Each speaker is Announcer and then a John Williams type score plays before the speaker comes to the podium.

Cheney is giving the address now.

4. Cheney getting lots of applause from the AIPACers on "supporting the troops" by funding Bush's "war"

It's an OCCUPATION, Cheney--something Israel understands well, as they have illegally occupied Palestinian lands since 1967--and it is not working for the Israeli people, either.

"Israel has never had a better friend in the White House than George Bush," gets sustained applause and standing ovation. No surprise, there.

Non-Jewish students flock to AIPAC

By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON

The 6,000 participants who have congregated in Washington to participate in AIPAC's annual policy conference have seen their numbers boosted by a growing number of non-Jewish students and public officials.

Christian and historically black colleges which sent student delegates to the three-day event grew by 25 percent this year, with 55 campuses represented. The number of student government presidents jumped by a third, to 160 such representatives, the majority of whom are not Jewish.

The program itself continues the tradition of holding sessions on support for Israel among the African-American, Latino and Christian communities.

Pastor John Hagee, the guiding force for the political organization Christians United for Israel, was asked to address the opening dinner plenary on Sunday.

AIPAC, which subsidizes students who come to the conference, highlighted the diverse student involvement in its program, which opened with all 1,200 students standing before the assembly.

8. SIX THOUSAND People are there? No wonder it's such a production!

Sheesh....Sounds like the Dem and Repug Presidential Conventions! I had no idea that they were inviting student leaders from African-American, Latino and Christian communities.

I guess that makes alot of sense politically.

9. Indeed, it does.
