I speak to you today as a lifelong supporter in you and true friend of israel. [cheers and applause] as a newcomer to politics but not the jewish state. [applause] in 2001 after the attacks on your city washington and frankly the attacks on all of us that perpetrated as they were by the islamic fundamentalist, mayor giuliani visited israel to show solidarity with the victims because i backed the initiative for israel 100 . [cheers and applause] in spring 2004 at the height of the violence on the gaza strip within solicitude israel the largest single gathering in support of the jewish state. [applause] it was a very dangerous time for israel and frankly anyone supporting israel israel, many people turn down the honor. I did not i took the risk and i am glad that i did. [applause] but i did not come here tonight to pander about israel that is what politicians do. All talk no action. Believe me. [applause] i came here to speak about the future of American Relations with our strategic ally
There is no political will among israelis nor palestinians to move forward with serious negotiations. That is incredibly disappointing. The only way, in my view, to guarantee israelis future and security, identity as a jewish and democratic state, is with a two state solution. That remains my view. It is the only way to ensure the dignity and selfdetermination that the Palestinian People deserve as well. I think it is a clear eyed political and demographic reality. I know it is hard to take a risk for peace. Because i am irish, i understand all hatreds die slowly. I mean that sincerely. I have been involved in the Northern Ireland situation as well. James joyce said, history is a nightmare from which i am trying to awake. History is a nightmare from which im constantly trying to awake. I also think, the famous quote, if you will it, it is no dream. If you will it, it is no dream. [applause] i need not tell anyone in this audience that dreams in israel have never been impossible. V.

In the two previous conventions in the two previous conventions in 2008, in 2004, the number had been majority in five states needed to approve. Ron paul claimed that they had five states. That would have caused a lot of messing with the schedule. The rules committee at the suggestion of the Romney Campaign increased the number of states to eight to put in a name for nomination but that rule is not in effect for 2016.

Host but there is a rule requiring delegates to vote on the first ballot. What are the rnc rules this year and now obligated or the delegates to the candidates they supported in the primary .

Explain what this all means. What is a contested convention . It is when none of the candidates arrive at the commission with the majority of delegates. By definition, they have to contest to reach a majority. Host if there is a candidate with a majority of the delegates but not a majority overall, what does that mean . Ben there is a magic number. You have to get more than that. There will be balloting when the delegates get there and to see if and then balloting your candidate can win enough delegates to get over the majority. A lot of attention on the rules committee. Here is the question. How much authority does the committee have over the convention structure . Mr. Ginsburg there will be two rules committee. One is the National Committee which will meet the week before the convention, come up with what amounts to a working draft. That draft will be approved by the full committee, historically on the wednesday before the convention. That document will go to a temporary convention w
