URGENT: WILL AIPAC ENCOURAGE ROCKET ATTACKS ON TEL-AVIV AND JERUSALEM?
The important speeches at the AIPAC's Policy Conference http://www.aipac.org/about_AIPAC/Learn_About_AIPAC/2841.asp
will be delivered TOMORROW, 4 June:
It is very important to ensure that the speakers (US presidential candidates, Olmert, etc) do not burble on about options that are sheer lunacy, such as the "Palestinian state" option.

AIPAC is a huge and very important American Jewish organization. Contact them about this problem by writing IMMEDIATELY to: press@aipac.org, membership@aipac.org, MARreg@aipac.org, hkohr@aipac.org.
For example, mention that Israel's most conciliatory newspaper, Haaretz, has said that ��withdrawal from the West Bank is no longer possible� because
Israel does not want Qassam rockets against Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Ben-Gurion Interntnl Airport" http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/875942.html
Please emphasize: NO PALESTINIAN STATE IN YOUR ADDRESS TO OUR CONFERENCE!
