Protest Held in LA Against Iran Nuclear Deal

WASHINGTON (EJP)–Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, has called on American Jews to stand up to the White House in opposition of thenuclear deal with Iran. Netanyahu has also said that Iran would use funds from sanctions relief to threaten and attack Israel. A separate question found 54 percent of Jews saying Congress should approve the deal, while 35 percent want Congress to block it. Both polls were conducted by telephone in the week after the deal was announced among 500 respondents each.

Alon Pinkas was in Baltimore on Friday, and you will hear in our exclusive interview, he supports the deal, but his criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu and lawmakers questioning the deal including Senator Cardin is far more measured. As such, many Diaspora Jews reported that they wanted to be consulted before Israel acts on sensitive issues, especially those that will have far-reaching effects for Jews everywhere. The influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee has also come out against the deal. “I have spent too much of my life working for Israel’s security and I’m not about to support an agreement – that doesn’t mean you should be for it – but I’m not about to support an agreement that I believe would do harm to Israel“.

And since a nuclear payload delivered by intercontinental ballistic missiles are the Iranian regime’s most logical tool to execute its apparent genocidal ambitions, lifting sanctions against its missiles program after eight years, as the recently agreed nuclear deal stipulates, without any sort of Iranian disavowal of seeking to destroy the Jewish state would appear to belie global law on preventing genocide. “The fact that Iran has engaged in this dialogue is a credit to Obama who, before proposing a military option, is intelligently and sensibly trying first to negotiate an arrangement that would limit Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon”. If the debate breaks heavily along partisan lines, this might motivate Jews to support the deal, given their Democratic and liberal leanings.

“They are so afraid to fight”, he added. Jews differ from the national population.

“The goal of that is to be able to have longer term guarantees as we enter a world in which cyber warfare is increasingly a concern for everybody”, Kerry then responded.
