rally to protest Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the United Nations.

- In addition to Palin, the Republican vice-presidential
nominee and Alaska governor, confirmed speakers include U.S. Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), an Iranian dissident, a black minister and Jewish
and Israeli leaders, according to a key group organizing the rally, the
Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

- "The speakers represent the broad spectrum of American
political life," the group's executive vice chairman, Malcolm Hoenlein,
told JTA.

- Asked if there would be someone from the Obama campaign
at the demonstration, Hoenlein noted the presence of Clinton as a leading
Democrat and said she accepted the invitation to speak several weeks ago,
before the Democratic National Convention.
-
- The rally, part of efforts by Jewish groups to stop Iran
from obtaining nuclear weapons, will be held at 11:45 a.m. Sept. 22. It
is expected to draw thousands of participants to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza,
across from the United Nations.
