Is AIPAC Losing Sight of Its Mission?

Monday - March 12, 2018 AFSI Looks Forward to Celebrating Israel's 70th Birthday in Israel     with the AFSI Chizuk Mission from April 17-25, 2018 CLICK HERE FOR THE ITINERARY AND TO REGISTER YESHA Council Counters AIPAC in Support of Judea and Samaria In sharp contrast to the betrayal last week of AIPAC's Howard Kohr announcing support for a state and flag for the PA, the YESHA Council Conference was a breath of fresh air. This parallel conference drew HUGE support for Israel's SOVEREIGNTY and for incorporating Judea and Samaria into a WHOLE ISRAEL. Speaking to a packed house Ambassador Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel in New York clearly delineated why Judea and Samaria can never be turned into a Palestinian state. In fact,he affirmed that if we don't have a claim to Judea and Samaria - the heart of Israel - then we do not have a claim to anything. Photo Highlights from Celebrate Judea and Samaria This year's event was organized and sponsored by the YESHA Council in partnership with the State of Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy and the Jordan Valley Regional Council. The event focused on solidifying Israel's connection to her ancestral heartland and building bridges for peace by supporting the industrial zones of Judea and Samaria which employ thousands of Israeli and Arabs that work together in peace. Naftali Bennett, Minister of Education and the Diaspora Ayelet Shaked with Dani Dayan Yishai Fleisher, Event MC and Representative of the Hebron Fund Yuval Steinitz, Minister of Energy Oded Revivi, Mayor of Efrat Mark Prowisor of the One Israel Fund with Ayelet Shaked Packed House: Mayor Revivi, Shilo Adler, Naftali Bennett, Dani Dayan AIPAC - Missing the Point The American Jewish leadership's downward spiral has accelerated. This can be traced back to its cowardly silence when US president Barack Obama began treating Israel as a rogue state and applying moral equivalence to Israelis and Palestinian terrorists. The leaders of the Reform and Conservative movements and the Anti-Defamation League have effectively become adjuncts of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Many leaders in the Reform and Conservative movements, along with the Anti-Defamation League, have become so obsessed with hatred of US President Donald Trump that their bitterness supersedes their support for Israel.   Read more of Isi Liebler's Opinion piece in the Jerusalem Post. On AIPAC - Deliver the Right Message In Caroline Glick's Jerusalem Post OpEd today, Glick writes, "AIPAC's mission to cultivate and maintain bipartisan support for Israel in the United States is an important mission. Unfortunately, the messages AIPAC's leaders delivered during the organization's annual policy convention this week in Washington indicate that they are at a loss for how to achieve their mission in the contentious political environment now prevalent in post- Obama America."
