350 rabbis urge Congress to reject 'dangerous' Iran deal
Ayatollah Khamenei
“Your vote on the agreement – by every
legislator – will either facilitate a nuclear war or spare humanity of a
nuclear war,” reads the letter.
It was crafted and signed by members of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace, which consists of more than 350 Orthodox Jewish rabbis who advocate for peace in the Middle East.
“In this age of globalization, every congressional district and State
will be impacted by the horrific consequences of the agreement,
including the few hundred sleeper cells which are already in place in
the USA,” the rabbis write.
The rabbis refer to what they call “President Obama’s and the European countries’ irrational obsession with encouraging and protecting Iran’s nuclear program, which ultimately poses a threat to them as well as Israel.”
The rabbinic leaders explain they prefer to steer away from politics; however, “we feel that the current agreement with Iran jeopardizes not only American interests but threatens the very existence of the State of Israel.”
The letter offers a biblical perspective to current events.
“Over two thousand years ago, in ancient Persia – present day Iran – Jews faced a similar situation. An “ayatollah” by the name of Haman set a scheme in motion that would have annihilated the entire Jewish nation in a single day. Mordechai, the Jewish leader, turned to his niece Queen Esther, the wife of the Persian king and the highest ranking Jewish official at that time, and appealed to her to intervene on behalf of the Jewish people and ask the king to nullify the decree,” they write.
“Esther hesitated, however, and claimed that her actions would not only fail to help, but would make matters worse. Mordechai retorted that this was her defining moment: “If you persist in keeping silent at a time like this, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from somewhere else, but you will have forfeited this privilege. Who knows whether it was just for such a time as this that you attained your royal position,” the letter says.
“Mordechai’s eternal words ring true today, as well. We have reached a defining moment in the history of Israel and the U.S., and in the lives of those who support her. If you keep silent at a time like this, by not opposing the agreement, relief and deliverance will come to Israel and the U.S. from elsewhere, but you will have forfeited the privilege of standing by them. And who knows — perhaps it was just for such a moment that you were elected to Congress or Senate of the great United States of America.”
The letter stands in contrast to another sent to Congress this week by 340 liberal U.S. rabbis, mostly from the reform and non-Orthodox streams of Judaism, who expressed support for the Iran nuclear deal and urged lawmakers to endorse it.
Since Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., came out against President
Obama’s deal with Iran, a number of other key undecided Democrat
lawmakers have quietly weighed whether or not to oppose the
international nuclear agreement in a vote next month.
Of those said to be on the fence, informed Israeli diplomatic sources have identified Sens. Claire McCaskill, Ben Cardin, Christopher A. Coons and Cory Booker as leaning closer to rejecting the agreement, which could jeopardize Obama’s major foreign policy venture.
Other senators said to be undecided include Bob Casey, Joe Donnelly, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Manchin, Ralph Peters, Harry Reid, Jon Tester and Ron Wyden.

Another reason to boycott Israel and the despicable Zionists.
So, now - are you implying that should Canada or Mexico set up nukes across borders from the USA corporation 'states' that the USA should simply IGNORE the potential nuclear THREATS by Canada and Mexico to the USA, and should NOT the USA make serious attempts to negotiate terms with Canada and Mexico for peaceful relations? YOUR 'Zionists" as you refer to the criminal cabal leadership in Israel - or do you mean to infer that ALL in the tiny land of Israel are 'Zionists'? - occupy the head positions in ALL major nations worldwide with the corporate USA being, by far, the WORST OFFENDER. IF you are an 'American', WHY NOT concentrate your hatred and stupid opinionated biases on those who are in America and causing war, death and destruction worldwide - including ISIS, AlQaeda, Hamas, et al - in ALL other nations? Go for the source where the source is the most powerful, where the source plans and carries out its most dangerous plots and schemes. Leave the people in other nations alone. They have enough trouble dealing with their own 'Zionists' without you freely spreading your poisonous opinions to their situations. Concentrate on resolving the problems in your OWN nation. Attend to YOUR nation and its problems and leave the others alone. Geeezzzz....... Open one's mouth and you inform the world of your ignorance. You know so damn much about Israel and its "Zionists,' then PROVE IT by solving America's 'Zionist' problems. Get the SHIT out of your own front and back yards before you start pointing it out in someone else's yard and condemning them.
Yeah bozo - start with Schumer, Reed and all the other communists/marxists that do NOT love this nation nor serve it. What are you doing to rid this nation of the criminal corporation make believe 'government' and its sub corporations - TSA, DHS, IRS, DEA, CDC, and all the rest of the criminals? How can you condemn ANY nation when you aren't ridding this one of its serious problems beginning with the whore house in the district of criminals? As said above, start with cleaning up the mess in your own yard and stay out of our neighbors yards. Lead by good example. When you have successfully resolved America's problems, THEN you can open that big mouth and advise others how to resolve theirs.
What exactly is the state of Israel? Rabbis you are agents of the rogue parasitic dark matrix' prison of souls. You are fighting the ONE - the very cosmic consciousness that causes your unfortunate present existence. You are reaping the fruits of your cabalistic evil. You of all people and races know how much that you have chosen a cowardly and inferior way; a path that can only end in abject misery terminating in hell. You are your own enemy and consequent victims. Familiar with Cosmic law you have chosen to distort it to serve your own evil ends. Your Babilonian Pharaonic Illuminist Roman Vatican and Jesuit brothers know as much. Either turn around or pay the price. Remind yourselves often that you have done it all by yourselves. For your own good, STOP killing and manipulating innocent people.
