"Fake" AIPAC statement?

Phew! I got worried a bit. I am all for preservation. Politico/ here

"...... I was surprised to hear on NPR that AIPAC had issued a statement calling on Israel to stop all settlements. But I couldn't find such a statement on AIPAC's website and when I checked in with the AIPAC spokesman, he said the statement is fake.

"Someone faked my email address," AIPAC spokesman Josh Block said by email. "It's fake."

Clinton speaks to the conference of several thousand pro Israel supporters at 9:15am, and Israeli Prime Minister addresses the conference tonight. Netanyahu meets with Clinton today at the State Department and with Obama at the White House tomorrow.

Clinton will tell the conference that the status quo is unsustainable. “For President Obama, for me, and for this entire administration, our commitment to Israel’s security and Israel’s future is rock solid," Clinton is expected to say in her prepared remarks. But, “as Israel’s friend, it is our responsibility to give credit when it is due and to tell the truth when it is needed.”

“The status quo is unsustainable for all sides," Clinton will say. "It promises only more violence and unrealized aspirations. Staying on this course means continuing a conflict that carries tragic human costs. Israeli and Palestinian children alike deserve to grow up free from fear and to have the opportunity to live up to their full God-given potential.”

Regarding Iran, Clinton will say: “Elements in Iran’s government have become a menace, both to their own people and in the region. Iran’s President foments anti-Semitism, and threatens to destroy Israel. In addition to threatening Israel, a nuclear-armed Iran would embolden its terrorist clientele and would spark an arms race that could destabilize the region. This is unacceptable. Unacceptable to the United States. Unacceptable to Israel. And unacceptable to the region and the international community.”

“So let me be very clear: The United States is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.”

One attendee says ahead of Clinton's speech to the conference, "They've set up the hall so that there are fewer people between the podium and the TV cameras than usual." To lessen the chance of any "boos" being picked up, he explained.
