Dear fellow Jews, I'm compelled to ask: What the bleep is wrong with you? Friday
morning I was about to post a thank-you note to my Christian friends
for standing with Israel against the nuclear deal, when I saw a poll
revealing that the majority of American Jews support it. Yes, we are a
stiff-necked tribe, but never did I imagine we were such dunderheads.
What part of “they want to kill you”
don’t you understand? Our president has just signed onto a deal that
poses an existential threat to Israel—you know, that small country
bequeathed to us by G-d, which is approximately 76 times smaller than
Iran. It’s that same small country that when we didn’t have it, six
million Jews were murdered by a very honest man named Hitler who said he
wanted to kill Jews—and did. Today we have another slew of “honest” men
who while signing a nuclear deal simultaneously declared death to
Israel and death to America.
Twice you elected a president who
professed to have Israel’s back while he was machinating behind it. The
first time Mr. Obama attended an AIPAC conference, prior to his
presidency, he said in no uncertain terms that Jerusalem should remain
the undivided capital of Israel. The next day, with centrifuge speed, he
spun his words. And, ever since, he has been spinning Israel.
AIPAC,
that well known and very powerful Jewish lobbying group, helped bring
President Obama to power, so obviously they are not the racists all Jews
are branded to be whenever they disagree with the president’s policies.
Today, at the forefront of the fight against Obama’s nuclear deal, is
that very same AIPAC. Why? “Because this deal is a deadly deal: It legitimizes Iran as a nuclear
threshold state and once restrictions are lifted, Iran would then have
the ability to produce enough fuel for a nuclear bomb within days; it raises the prospect of war; it will spur a nuclear arms
race in the Middle East; it fills the Iranian coffers with over a $150
billion that predictably will augment their sponsoring of terrorism; it
strengthens the Iranian regime, and it destabilizes and threatens
regional allies.”
And yet with all that on the nuclear
hot plate Jewish Democrats are allegedly upset with Netanyahu—not Obama
or the Ayatollah—but with Netanyahu for addressing Congress on the issue
of Iran and then using some of the footage in a self-endorsing ad prior
to the Israeli election. It’s
mind boggling that they would take umbrage against a tacky tactic, but
they are not going ballistic (every pun intended) over a regime that
calls Jews pigs and dogs reminiscent of the Nazi’s crossbred
categorization of Jews as schweine-hunde, pig-dogs. Where is the ire for a deal so
dire with a regime that calls for the extermination of Jews and Israel?
Are these powerful officials not aware that the Iranian regime hates
them most of all as they typify the “powerful Jews” which all
anti-Semites exaggeratingly claim are taking over the world (while Jews
comprise only 0.2% of the world population)? It is this same hateful,
murderous regime whose declared goal is to establish a caliphate (which
is itself an expansionist agenda), but yet the "Zionist regime" is
deemed colonialist. Colonialist? If Israel is a colonialist country, I
must say it has failed miserably, seeing that even before its enemies
wipe it off the map, the tiny country can hardly be found on it.
American Jews need to wake up, speak
up, and stop being afraid of their own shadows. Stop saving the arts and
the ballet and start saving Jews. Stop trying to get everyone to like
you. They just don’t. Appeasement is the dry hose that has historically
never put out a single fire, including those in the crematoria. Senator Schumer is among those Jews too who need to stop being afraid to stand up for their own side in an argument. Useless are the refrains of “never again,” which have become as honorable as the statement "the check is in the mail." If you really don’t want another Holocaust, pick up the phone, call your representative and tell him/her to block the deal!
Much of the fate of this deal now
lies in Schumer’s hands. Will he further his career on the ashes of his
people? The long-time senator is eyeing the seat of Senate Minority
Leader once Senator Harry Reid steps down. He
needs Obama to like him to get that job. Undoubtedly, Schumer sees
himself in a difficult spot and may jeopardize his entire hard-earned
career by blocking, and galvanizing support to, block the deal. And
therein lies the answer: If Schumer won’t back down from his own
political ambitions in order to save his own people, what makes him
think the Iranian leaders, hardened foresworn ideologues, will give up
their hard earned nuclear ambitions and dogmatic dreams of annihilating
the Jewish people. They’ve all worked too hard to stop now.
And, of course, there is that
ever-present concern which also serves conveniently as a safety bunker:
Will Schumer be accused of dual loyalty? After all, he is an American
senator, not an Israeli one. Well,
here are a few bunker buster realities that penetrate Schumer’s not so
intractable problem and reveal why this is an American problem not an
Israeli one:
Firstly, Iran’s ICBM
(Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) program clearly tells America that
Iran not only has long-term objectives, but long-distance ones as well.
The Jewish state is Iran’s neighbor. Long range missiles are redundant
for such a proximate neighbor. These missiles have a more distant
three-letter target: the U.S.A.
Secondly, Iran is the foremost
sponsor of terrorism around the world, supplying America’s declared
enemies with arms. The United States State Department qualifies Iran as
an “active state sponsor of terrorism.” Once Iran becomes a nuclear
state, it will have the ability to export not only arms, but weapons of
mass destruction. We are putting “nuclear” bullets in guns aimed at us,
evermore insane.
Thirdly, even after signing the
nuclear deal, Iran’s supreme leader declared that hostility between the
Islamic republic and the “arrogant” United States will not abate.
Fourthly, the nuclear deal also has a
clause that the P5+1 would come to the aid of Iran in the event its
nuclear program was attacked. That could very well pit America against
Israel—its ally—in defense of Iran if Israel takes pre-emptive action.
This deal, in snow globe fashion, has shaken up the world as we know it
and catapulted countries into new and unprecedented alignments. The
“axis of evil” has seismically shifted.
And a fifth reason this deal is an
American concern is that it has a secret annex that the president of the
United States did not present to Congress as was required. It was only
discovered by Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and Senator Tom Cotton
(R-AR) at a meeting they had in Vienna with the International Atomic
Energy Agency.
