The powerful pro-Israel group AIPAC is holding its annual conference in Washington, D.C. Protesters led by CodePink gathered outside the convention hall Sunday to protest Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and call for peace and diplomacy with Iran. This is CodePink’s Medea Benjamin.

Medea Benjamin: “The American people want diplomacy to work. The American people don’t want war. The American people look at Iraq and say, 'Oh, AIPAC was one of those groups that pushed us into that war. How did that work out?'”

President Obama is due to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today.
