Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the 2019 @AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington #AIPAC2019

"Yesterday at the White House, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump again made history. He formally recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. That deserves enormous applause!"
The Golan Heights is indispensable for our defense. It's part of our history. When you put a shovel in the ground there what you discover are the ruins of ancient synagogues. Jews lived there for thousands of years and the people of Israel have come back to the Golan.
PM Netanyahu: "Israel holds the high ground, and we shall never, ever give it up. It is part of Israel.

So on behalf of all the people of Israel, thank you, President Trump and thank you for all the historic decisions you have made."

It was my pleasure to speak to #AIPAC2019 today. My message was not only to reaffirm the essentiality of the U.S.-Israel relationship, but also that the U.S. stands with the Jewish people and Israel in the fight against the world’s oldest bigotry: anti-Semitism.
The rise of anti-Semitism & anti-Zionism strikes at the very foundation of freedom. The Trump Administration opposes it unequivocally & will fight it relentlessly, from the fever swamp of the UN Human Rights Council to the world’s #1 proponent of anti-Semitism: Iran. #AIPAC2019
We will not grow weary of this fight. Israel should be admired, not attacked, embraced, not vilified. I’m proud to lead American diplomacy to support Israel’s right to defend itself, stand with the Jewish people, and champion the perennial cause of religious liberty. #AIPAC2019

WOW: @SenSchumer just called out @GOPLeader, @IlhanMN, AND @realDonaldTrump in one fell swoop!!!
@SenSchumer @GOPLeader @IlhanMN @realDonaldTrump When someone accuses three Jews of buying an election, or supporters of Israel of having dual loyalties, or calls neo-Nazis very fine people, "we have to call it out," says @SenSchumer. The first person to call it out ON ALL SIDES - TO BIG APPLAUSE!

#AIPAC2019
"When someone names only prominent Jews as trying to buy or steal our elections, we must call it out," @SenSchumer said, referencing @GOPLeader's tweet.

I’m at #AIPAC2019. Neocon think tank American Enterprise Institute Arthur Brooks is on stage preaching about convincing progressives to support Israel with love instead of hating them. Mild applause from the audience.
Former Israeli army chief of staff and Netanyahu rival Benny Gantz says Palestinians only live for hate and misery, and seek death. He oversaw the mass destruction of Gaza in 2014 including the killing of 551 children.
Gantz grandstanded with threats against Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda and ISIS. Few in the audience know (or care) that Israel armed al-Qaeda-aligned militants in Syria in order to prolong the war and consolidate its occupation of the Golan Heights. mintpressnews.com/outgoing-idf-c…

La Premier Ministre de #Roumanie, Viorica #Dancila, annonce à l'#AIPAC2019 le transfert de l'#Ambassade roumaine à #Jerusalem. Cette décision, à laquelle le Président Iohannis se disait opposé, rompt avec la position de l'#UE... dont la Roumanie assure actuellement la présidence
Les #Palestiniens en appellent à l'Union européenne après l'annonce de la PM de #Roumanie de transférer l'#Ambassade à #Jérusalem. Encore une fois, ironie cruelle, c'est la Roumanie qui assure en ce moment la présidence tournante de l'#UE
Transfert de l'#Ambassade de #Roumanie à #Jerusalem: on attend la réaction du président roumain @KlausIohannis qui décide, en dernier ressort, des création/changement de missions diplomatiques. Or, comme signalé dans mon 1er tweet, #Iohannis s'est toujours opposé au transfert

74%+ of MoveOn members agree progressive 2020 presidential candidates should skip the #AIPAC2019 conference.
MoveOn is calling on 2020 presidential candidates to not attend the AIPAC conference.

Here are 4 reasons why:
#1
AIPAC spent tens of millions of dollars in 2015 to defeat the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by Pre. Obama along w international allies. It was a historic diplomatic agreement that Trump has tried to derail since taking office.
