If you've missed the speeches delivered by the key Jew Servants at the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference in Washington
DC this week then don't worry, the full text of their addresses are readily
available on the Web.
- Vice President Joe Biden, the highest-ranking official in the U.S.
government to attend the gathering this year,
reiterated the administration's commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining
nuclear capabilities, telling the audience that President Barack Obama “was not
bluffing."
- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the sole Jewish Republican in
Congress,
criticized administration policy as soft and myopic, saying "America must
lead from the front."
- Outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Israel's most senior politico
at the event,
said all options remained on the table, including that of military action
against Iran. He uttered “We mean it” twice to drive home the message, which
drew applause.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who usually attends the
conference,
delivered a speech by satellite from Jerusalem this year where he stayed
behind to put together a governing coalition. He welcomed Obama ahead of his
planned visit to Israel later this month.
