Read Hillary Clinton’s Speech to AIPAC

http://time.com/4265947/hillary-clinton-aipac-speech-transcript/

It's obviously aimed at T-Rump, so the contrasts are pretty obvious, but nothing that Netanyahu would find unobjectionable.

They are a well-financed conservative lobbying group.

A mainstream American Jewish community group wouldn't be giving Donald Trump round after round of applause.

They wouldn't even be giving him a stage.

applause was dwarfed by the enthusiasm he garnered from many quarters in the 18,000-strong crowd when he noted that “President Obama [is] in his final year — yay!”

“He may be the worst thing that ever happened to Israel,” he said.

They are mainstream the same way Tom Cotton is mainstream.

What is mainstream in Israel is rightwing in the United States.
