McCain at AIPAC with Global implications

Republican Presidential Candidate Arizona Senator John McCain addresses the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on 2 June 2008 at the Washington Convention Center, in Washington, DC.

AIPAC is claiming his is the largest Policy Conference ever, with more than 7,000 pro Israel activists, experts and elected officials, including over 1,000 students representing some 350 campuses.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is an American advocacy group that lobbies the United States Congress and White House in favor of Israeli and US interests as it sees them. Describing itself as "America's Pro-Israel Lobby," it is a not-for-profit, mass-membership organization including Democrats, Republicans, and independents. AIPAC is funded through contributions from its members.


AIPAC has many damaging foreign policies that are contrary to the security and human rights of the global community, especially Palestine and the Middle East.

Furthermore, while this organization claims to be for the Jewish people, they are actually contrary to this policy also. Many of the Jewish people from Palestine, have expressed that AIPAC is more for slavery and that the AIPAC organization are the taskmaster’s situation towards them, then ones of conscience.

U.S. President George W. Bush is a strong advocate of AIPAC.

Democratic U.S. presidential hopefuls Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) are scheduled to speak to the conference on 4 June.
