bitterly opposed to Palestinian human rights and defiant of
International law when they apply to Palestinians.

as "Oregon's largest gathering of Pro-Israel Community." They go on
to say "Be a part of the largest pro-Israel event in Oregon. Join
over 400 community leaders, elected officials, activists, and
students for a chance to gain deeper insight into the U.S.-Israel
relationship. " Mittleman Jewish Community Center 6651 SW Capitol
