Is there a remote possibility that the annual ZOA lobbying mission to Capitol Hill does not work?
I do not believe ZOA participants attend meetings with the key people.
There is a term used in political circles (except maybe Jewish Israel factions) known by its initials: "R.O.I." - return on investment. The cost of a formal dinner,lunch, continental breakfast, hotel room, bus fare and conference fee produces less than staying home and sending US$100.00 as a political contribution to someone. Students can network with other students without leaving home.
Is there a remote possibility that funds for this holiday can be better spent?
Shabbat Sholom,

The ZOA is one of the only "Pro-Israel" factions that is actually "pro-Īsrael". They are however, historically and politically linked to the Likud party. That being said, it sounds like a nice field-trip for the students.
All cash donations to Israel go directly into the pockets of a handful of crooks. Such "donations" have allowed the Sharons and Peres' to operate as mob-bosses.
Buy Israeli wine, chocolate, etc. DO NOT SEND MONEY!
