I shared these words the day before AIPAC's 2020 Policy Conference began.
There’s been a lot in the news recently about the upcoming AIPAC policy conference - who is attending, who is not attending, what is AIPAC about altogether.
AIPAC describes itself in the following way:
"The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a bipartisan organization of U.S. citizens committed solely to strengthening, protecting and promoting the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel."
Full and proud disclosure - I’ll be at the conference with over 30 adult Temple Israel members and our Youth Engagement Director Avi Siegel will be leading a group of teens.
Full and proud disclosure - I believe Israel should remain Jewish and Democratic. I believe a two-state solution is still the best of a bunch of imperfect solutions. I love some of what is said at AIPAC conferences and I despise some of what is said at AIPAC conferences. I support and admire some of the people who will be speaking at this conference and I don’t support and don’t admire others.
There is much about supporting Israel that is complicated and at least one thing that is not. I will start with the complexity and then focus, by sharing a personal story, on what I believe is actually quite simple.
