WASHINGTON (JTA) - Three of the four Republican presidential candidates will speak to the AIPAC conference by satellite on Super Tuesday.
Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich each will address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference on the morning of March 6 before an expected 13,000 activists - a record number. The activists will spend the rest of the day lobbying Congress to ratchet up Iran's isolation and intensify the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship. AIPAC has refused to invite the fourth candidate, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), to speak, citing the precedent of the Republican Jewish Coalition which shuns Paul for his steady record of voting against assistance for Israel and for his past instances of anti-Israel rhetoric.

Even though my opinion doesn't really count in this particular instance, Ron Paul has my support primarily for his stance on Israel. And if I were him I'd be honoured to be excluded from this parade of prostitutes to Khazar Zionism and a group that undeniably infringes upon American sovereignty.
