Netanyahu calls on American Jews to oppose any US/European deal with Iran

This guy is a real piece of work!


Netanyahu calls on American Jews to stand ‘together with us’ to stop Iran deal

The largest American Jewish organization, the Jewish Federations, is having its annual conference in Israel this year. Netanyahu addressed the group tonight and said they had a responsibility to stop the deal that global leaders are trying to reach with Iran.

“That’s what I expect from every one of you, and I know it’s achievable.”

Netanyahu said the task was urgent in the light of the Holocaust. When we were silent in the face of genocide. And that Jews haven’t come through 4 millennia “to have the likes of the ayatollahs threaten our life.” A collective us, the Jews.

American Jews have a historical obligation to stand with Israel, he reminded the American Jews. “The purpose of the Jewish state is to enable Jews to defend themselves. This is something that we could not do before we had the Jewish state.”
