    UPDATE 5/25/2011: New video of AIPAC protests and a slideshow of pictures have been posted.


    See video of US President Barack Obama’s APAC speech:


    KnightNews.com has a crew in Washington D.C. where protests against Israeli and US foreign policy are breaking out outside the AIPAC convention.

    KnightNews.com ilive streamed video of the protests, and we have concluded the live stream to go inside the conference and get video interviews with the other side. An updated video story with both sides will be posted as soon as possible.

    The protests came before, during and after US President Barack Obama spoke at the conference.

    Matthew McCann, the Student Body President from the University of Central Florida, attended the conference at the invitation of AIPAC. KnightNews.com caught up with him after hearing Obama’s speech and get his reaction.




    Look for more exclusive interviews with people attending the event soon on KnightNews.com.

      Hey, OKN, Hitler was a Khazar Rothschild offspring on his fathers side of the family and was funded and groomed to be the head of Germany and he was “funded”, handled by those Khazar Rothschild bankers who call themselves Jews and are not either relgiously, since they are satanists, or DNA wise since they are Mongols from mongolia who ended up in Khazaria before they got beat up for their behavior amoungst the family of nations, just like now.

      They are the ones that sold out the real Jews to Hitler because they were funding hitler and needed the holocaust to use to obtain Palestine after the war. EXPLAIN HOW ROTHSCHILD KNEW WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED WHEN HE BOUGHT 200,000 ACRES OF LAND IN PALESTINE BEFORE THERE WAS EVER A SECOND WORLD WAR???? HUH???? NOW READ THIS LINK FROM THIS REAL JEWISH RABBI WRITTEN IN 1948, A LETTER TO THE “ZIONISTS” WHO ARE THE KHAZARS, AND WHAT HE HAD TO SAY IN THERE ABOUT WHAT THESE PIGS DID TO THE REAL JEWS.

      BETTER READ YOUR HISTORY BEFORE SHOOTING OFF YOUR MOUTH. JEREMY IS CLOSER TO THE TRUTH THAN YOU ARE AND TRUTH AS YOU KNOW IS THE ENEMY OF THE LIE AND THEREFORE THE ENEMY OF THE STATE. RIGHT?

      President Obama has spoken the truth. I dont understand WHY any president goes before this bunch. It only proves how biased the US is to Israel. Presidents never speak at arab american meetings. Last week Israel attacked the flotilla “the spirit of Rachel cory in international waters”, no coverage in US. Last week Bibi signed for 1600 NEW illegal settlements in the heart of E. Jerusalem, palestinan territories. NO president has been able to stop israel from slaughtering Palestinans. They force EVERY president to SUPPORT their genocide or threaten them with holding back donations and their support at the polls. The truth zionists make up 2% of the american people. WHAT is that deeper place the US shares with Israel. Europeans slaughteres the native americans, and Israel since 1948 has slaughtered the native palestinans. That is the only connection between us and them. In fact, this “support” keeps the US despised and hated around the world. NO diplomat from the Obama adminstration has been to Gaza or the West Bank? These people are a threat to America because of their genocidal tendencies. Israel has zionized the White House, the Congress and the Senate, in order to bring peace to the middle east, we must elect candidates who are not zionized…and restore our values in the world.

      >>Maybe the greedy and racist Israelis will stop ethnic cleansing in Palestine<<

      BWAHAHAHA!

      You mean like when the Israelis ethnically cleansed Gaza…

      …OF JEWS?!

      Really?!? You realize no one who's not already a fellow antisemite buys this crap, right?

      Nothing is more obvious that Israel has acted with historically remarkable — indeed utterly unprecedented — restraint in dealing with the Palestinians. No other country, no other people, would have responded, and continue to respond, so belatedly and minimally to every provocation.

      Look, as one of many instances, at the Al-Aqsa Intifada. The Palestinians were sneaking suicide bombers into Israel and blowing up buses, marketplaces, restaurants, etc, often killing dozens at a time, and this was occurring on a near daily basis at the height of it.

      What was the Israeli response? THEY CONTINUED TO OBSERVE THE OSLO ACCORDS to the slightest jot and tittle!!! They waited through this mass murder for 14 MONTHS, for example, before a single Israeli soldier set a single foot on land ceded to full Palestinian control under Oslo, even though they KNEW that suicide bomb belts and car bombs were being assembled in and deployed from those areas.

      It's a level of restraint which is almost insanely self-destructive, but you think they're Nazis.

      Don't fool yourself. Everyone knows exactly the reason you see black as white.

      Israel is a racist country that steals other peoples lands and then tries to ethnically cleanse it. People need to stop supporting these racist international criminals. They constantly beg us for billions of dollars and we should be using that money lower gas price with alternative energy and create jobs. Not giving it away to a bunch of degenerate murdering thieves.

      Maybe the greedy and racist Israelis will stop ethnic cleansing in Palestine and give back the land they stole. Maybe they will stop sucking money out of our country and doing nothing in return for it but whining and moaning. Nah…. thats never gonna happen.
