TC Jewfolk gets the exclusive scoop on U.S. Senator Al Franken’s recent trip to Israel with AIPAC. [Video interview below]
It was clear who President Obama was speaking to. Not just to AIPAC. But to Jewish voters. To those doubting his support for Israel. To those concerned about his commitment. To them he said, “I have Israel’s back.”
“We have a friend in the White House,” said Israeli President Shimon Peres to the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, DC. “I am proud for our alliance with the United States of America.”
Abbas says freezing settlement construction is a “precondition” to talking peace. Should there be Israeli “preconditions” to peace? Like abolishing hate speech against Jews?
AIPAC Policy Conference is here. And TC Jewfolk is going to be in the thick of it, live from DC. We’ll also be interviewing Franken, Bachmann, Ellison & more! Stay tuned!
