This edition is for citizens of Milwaukee and suburbs. at 10:30am On Sunday November 6, 2011,
Gwen Moore,
the member of the House of Representatives who represents 75% of the Jews of the Milwaukee area, will share her reflections form her recent congressional trip to Israel at
Congregation Sinai
8233 N. Port Washington Road, Milwaukee
For those who are not familiar with Gwen Moore's voting record on Israel we present it below. Gwen Moore has voted in favor of Israel many times, and has voted against Israel many times. It is difficult to get an understanding of her general position, but it seems that she is in favor of Israel except when it comes the Palestinian Arabs. However, her vote in 2009 against Israel's ability to defend herself against military attacks by Hamas was the most aggregious of her votes regarding Israel.
So we have listed below all votes of her career regarding Israel (we may have left off a few of her votes, e.g. in congratulating Israel on its birthday and similar meaningless votes, but she voted in support of Israel in all of these meaningless votes). We have also listed votes regarding Israel's enemies that have effect on Israel as well as votes related to Israel. We list the names of the bill copied from a government site as well as her vote and the year of the vote. We did not list her votes on general appropriations that may have affected Israel. Apparently, she has voted in favor of the legislation that gives Israel $3 billion.
We encourage you to attend this event. This event was organized by AIPAC.
