AIPAC urges ‘respectful discourse’ ahead of candidates’ addresses
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAIPAC Vice President Richard Fishman tells delegates not to boo presidential candidates set to address the conference throughout the day.
“People in this room are dedicated to discourse powered by reason,” he tells the crowd of 18,000.
“It is our responsibility to hear all the candidates’ views on Israel. We have invited candidates with whom we may strongly disagree with on policy or tone but invitation is not endorsement,” he says.
“We must be respectful. No policy position was ever improved by booing.”
Some groups have said they will initiate a walk-out during controversial Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s speech this evening.
