440 Rabbis Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal With Iran

1. The most effective way to keep Iran from obtaining thermonuclear weapons is to oppose the JCPOA “Iran Deal” in its present form.

   The immediate concern should be a JCPOA-funded, state-of-the-art, conventional defensive and offensive Iranian military capability.

   Once armed with Russian S-300 rockets and ICBMs topped with conventional, chemical, biological, and “peaceful” nuclear material-enabled “dirty bomb” warheads, the Iranians will be capable of striking civilian populations (an Iranian specialty) anywhere, any time, on Earth. ICBMs are suicide vests.

   The JCPOA gives the Iranians a post-Cold War version of Mutually Assured Destruction – precluding viable foreign military action and all but guaranteeing that Iran will rip-up the JCPOA, the region and, if deemed necessary, the world.

   By foreclosing viable military options in response to Iranian thermonuclear weapons violations, the JCPOA guarantees Iran thermonuclear weapons.

   Opposing the JCPOA in its present form is the sane and sensible thing to do.

   Iran will never again be as amenable to amending the JCPOA as they are right now — before being funded and free to upgrade their conventional military capabilities.

   The overwhelming MAJORITY of Americans, hence Christians, also oppose the JCPOA in its present form, as do peoples of many faiths and nations. The JCPOA in its present form is an American problem and a global problem. The opposition to the JCPOA, as President Obama has consistently and incorrectly implied, is not uniquely Israeli.

   The soulless, shameless, and particularly public pursuit of Iranian contracts frames the JCPOA in its present form as a deal by, for, and of the one percent, not the ninety-nine.

   The Obama Administration, a MINORITY of the American people, a MINORITY of the Members of the U.S. Congress, a MINORITY of nuclear and military experts, and a MAJORITY of Ayatollahs, Revolutionary Guards, and terrorist, despotic, filthy-corrupt, malignantly self-absorbed, thieving, raping, mass-murdering dictatorships support the JCPOA in its present form. There is still time for them to reconsider their bad decision; it will only be too late if the present deal passes.

   We should be moving Iran from plastique to peace, not plastique to plutonium.

   Please join with the majority in demanding a better deal, a better deal that paves the path to peace, the better deal that President Obama and the P5+1 should have negotiated.

2. You, the 363 Rabbis should all be ashamed of yourselves, Iran will be allowed to use its own experts to look for signs of nuclear weapons work at a contested military facility as part of the controversial “side deal” between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Looks like you missed the important history lesson, 50% of German Jews thought that they were more German than Jewish and they perished. Read Ben Hecht http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/mobile/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007040 and maybe you will stop your fantasy.

3. VERY DISTURBING!

   I live in Israel, less than 2 miles from Gaza, a place from which Iranian-made missiles are fired at us, almost on a regular basis (4 this week alone). And to think that the arrogance of those who live abroad could lead to devastation here at home, the ONLY Jewish State in the world, is extremely disturbing, and very shameful.
   Talk about self-hatred.

4. Just because you call yourself a rabbi doesn’t mean you care about Israel or have any understanding of international affairs or have even read the Kerry/Obama Iran deal. Saying it isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it still should be supported. If any of them card about the US,Israel and the Jewish people they would read NJ Democratic Senator Menendez’s speech and then beg forgiveness for aiding and abetting Iran.

5. I disagree with the letter from the Rabbis. One of the Rabbis is a Rabbi in our Temple. Everyone, of course, is entitled to their point of view. I do not understand how a contract, how a deal, can be supported without knowing the terms of the contract. The AP reports, on August 19, 2015, that the Parchin site inspection will be subject to self inspection. As I write, the liberal site Vox states this might not be the entire story. Perhaps. Which is precisely my point. UNTIL AND UNLESS we have the complete contract, including any and all side agreements, secret or not, how can we approve the deal. The Rabbis who wrote this letter have RUSHED TO JUDGMENT. I cannot imagine that any of these Rabbis would sign a contract without reading and knowing and vetting all the terms. Secretary of State Kerry in his hearings before Congress (which I watched 6 hours of) admitted there were side agreements and spoke, albeit briefly, about Parchin. We don’t have all the facts. Until we do have all the facts, IT IS RECKLESS AND HEEDLESS TO AGREE to that which we do not know. As such, the Rabbis should RESCIND their support of the agreement, whose terms they DO NOT KNOW.

6. Some men are born to commit shameful acts. All of the rabbis who signed the letter supporting the Iran nuclear deal fall into this disgraceful category. All of them have a long history of collaborating with anti-Americans, Jew-haters and the enemies of Israel. They are moral pariahs. Not one of them is fit to be called a Jew. Indeed, if excommunication existed in Judaism these traitors would long ago have richly deserved such an ignominious fate and been declared anathema.

   The acrid smell coming from their direction is the stench of their self-hatred which cannot abide the transformation of the Jewish people from the perfection of powerlessness into power. These ingratiating cultural vandals live safely sheltered from the destructive policies they espouse and, like the unlamented Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, have managed to prosper keeping their feet firmly planted on the liberal ladder of preferment. Their regular betrayals have made them permanent members of the “terrorist caucus” of the treacherous LEFT whose vocal champion, unbelievably, is the president of the United States.

   Bad faith, worse judgment, disloyalty, purblind partisanship and a calcified cynicism have allowed these ordained Pinocchios to support a tragically suicidal agreement and cast aside the vital national security interests of the United States while placing Israel directly in the crosshairs of Islamic supremacist ayatollahs with an apocalyptic vision.

   You cannot enhance the prospects of peace by enhancing the prospects of a country like Iran whose messianic ayatollahs are ideologically dedicated to terror and war. This should be obvious even to the slowest of minds but in a collective psyche choked with neuroses “obviousness” becomes one of the first casualties hence the spirit of idiotic bliss with which the rabbis wrote and signed their perfidious letter. They will regret this but once and that will be continuously.
