Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at a meeting of pro –Israeli lobby group, AIPAC, today. President Obama addressed the group yesterday. He sought to clarify his remarks concerning the pre 1967 borders for a possible Palestinian state,a premise conservative Israelis rejected wholeheartedly. Join us for a conversation on the latest U.S. Israeli tensions as the U.S. seeks to chart a course amid ongoing political uprisings and crackdowns in North Africa and the Middle East.

Oh, and I find it interesting that none of you picked up on the statements many of the guests made that there is a growing group of political and military figures (including retired members of the security forces) who recognize the settlements are an obstacle to peace, and constitute a threat to Israel's survival. Maybe what it will take to break the power of the pro-settlement minority is an "Israeli Spring".
