AIPAC's Legislative Agenda

"A strong and secure Israel is in the national security interests of the United States."

President Barack Obama

"The people who point guns at Israel with murder in their eyes will next turn on us. Israel has turned out to be not just a friend who shares our values, but a critically important strategic ally who brings stability and balance to a volatile region."

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)

"Like America, freedom of speech, assembly, and press are embedded in the very fabric of Israel's society, and these are just a few of the values that hold our two countries so close."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY)

"The battle we are in today requires us to stand side by side with Israel against those who would undermine freedom, security, and democracy by the wanton, indiscriminate, and calculated killing of innocent people."

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD)

"Now is the time to stand by Israel as it writes the next chapter in its extraordinary journey. Now is the time to join together in the work of repairing this world and I'm looking forward to being a partner with AIPAC in making that happen."

President Barack Obama

"AIPAC's work has always been important. But now more than ever, it is vital, not only to Israel but also to America, as both nations face similar adversaries and challenges. To all of you at AIPAC, for your years of service, we are all in your debt."

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)

A majority of Israelis want peace and a two-state solution. Prime Minister Netanyahu wants peace and a two-state solution. AIPAC wants peace and a two-state solution. I want peace and a two-state solution."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY)

"I'm here to say thank you. Thank you for your commitment and thank you for your willingness to come to town and--and to--and to press your cause."

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)

"AIPAC is an invaluable resource to those of us in public office as advocates for freedom and for preserving American interest in a dangerous and constantly shifting part of the world."

Sen. John Thune (R-SD)

"Never in AIPAC's history have so many of you, leaders, advocates, students and concerned citizens, gathered to make your voices heard. Your tireless activism has made you an unparalleled force, not only in this town, but throughout the country and the world."

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)

Mourners pray at a funeral for a ten-year-old boy and two rebel fighters killed during fighting in Idlib, Syria, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012. Syrian forces fired mortars and rockets that killed scores of people Thursday in the rebellious city of Homs, activists said, the latest strike in a weeklong assault as President Bashar Assad's regime tries to crush increasingly militarized pockets of dissent.
