Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish People,

 

"At a time when there are those who would deal with protocol and politics, an agreement with Iran is taking shape in Munich that would risk Israel's existence," Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Twitter on Monday.

(Times of Israel, 2/10/15) 

 

THE TERMS CURRENTLY BEING NEGOTIATED WITH IRAN ALLOW IT TO RETAIN 6,500 CENTRIFUGES RENDERING IT A NUCLEAR THRESHOLD STATE, ABLE TO PRODUCE A NUCLEAR WEAPON WITHIN MONTHS. Furthermore,  Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif is not being "pressed hard on the details of Iran's position or its activities elsewhere in the Middle East." (NYT, 2/9/15)

 

 On Jan. 22, 2015  The Jerusalem Post reported that Iran deployed a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) "whose range far exceeds the distance between Iran and Israel, and between Iran and Europe." It was also shown on Israeli television.   Iran now poses an existential threat to the United States and all its allies. 

 

As of 12/12/14, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was not allowed access to Parchin, a military complex south-east of Tehran.  IAEA chief Yukiya Amano stated that "another problem is that Iran is not allowing us to implement a more powerful verification tool which is called an 'Additional Protocol.'"  

 

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that "the public was just going to have to trust" that Iran was not in violation of the November 2013 Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) agreement, despite a UN report claiming that the regime had violated international sanctions by acquiring materials for its Arak nuclear facility.   (Algemeiner, 12/11/14)   TRUST?!  

 

IRAN'S DISTINCTION BY OUR OWN STATE DEPARTMENT AS THE "WORLD'S FOREMOST LEADER OF STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM" IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS!!!  HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT  IRAN WILL BE LEFT WITH MATERIAL TO PRODUCE A NUCLEAR WEAPON???

 

THE RESULTS OF THE CURRENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN WILL AFFECT US, OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, OUR GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND GENERATIONS TO COME LONG AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE!

 

The regional arms race that was predicted as a result of the current negotiations with Iran has begun.  Today's New York Times reported that President Vladimir Putin of Russia has announced plans to help Egypt build a nuclear power plant. 

 

Our senators Schumer and Gillibrand (NY), Menendez (NJ), Blumenthal (CT), Peters and Stabenow (MI), Cardin (MD), Coons (DE), Manchin (WV), and Donnelly (IN) need to hear the message below as do our Congressional Representatives in the House.  They can all be reached via the Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121.   Senator Schumer's direct numbers are 202-224-6542 or 212-486-4430.   Write to him at: senator@schumer.senate.gov or 322 Hart Senate Office Building    Washington, D.C. 20510

Senator Gillibrand's direct number is: 202-224-4451.

 

Please go to the following links to find your Congressional representatives: 

http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/  or http://www.contactingthecongress.org/  

 

Our only protection before the March 24 deadline is the passage and veto-override of Senate Bill 269, the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015 (without clause 208 which gives the President authority to waive new sanctions if he feels it necessary in order to conclude a comprehensive agreement with Iran), which states: 

 

• Iran must not have the means to develop nuclear weapons.
• If an agreement is reached, the President must transmit the text of the agreement to Congress
• Implementation of any agreement reached will not begin until Congress has 30 days to review it.
• If no agreement is reached by July 6, 2015, escalating sanctions will go into effect. 

 

Know that your voices are making a difference!    It is urgent that you send this out to as many people as possible. 

 

Remembering the 6,000,000 voices that were silenced,

Is JStreets' Poll to be trusted? 

Op-Ed: Exposé: Phony J Street Poll on Iran

It's all in the wording of the question. How to lie with statistics.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/16478#.VOLDDvnF8WI

-- 

CNN relies on a JStreet Poll that reports that 84% of American Jews support nuclear deal with Iran!!

Now I would like to know why would American Jews want Iran to enrich uranium?  

Are American Jews so stupid?  

How would they feel if Iran, with their hatred of Western values and Society,  took over Canada or Mexico with their enriched Uranium?  

Would for that matter, any sane American  want them as a neighbor? 

Clearly CNN wants to make American Jews feel like they have to choose between being a loyal American who supports American Foreign Policy under Obama or between being Jewish.  The implication  being that if you don't support American Foreign Policy you are disloyal American.  They want to invent a rift between Jews.  An old story.....

Let them conduct a poll that shows that 84% of Americans would support enriched Iranian Uranium if Iran would take over Canada or Mexico.  

We know that what is good for Israel is good for America, and is good for the world!

CNN is not to be trusted.  Obama is not to be trusted.   JStreet is not to be trusted.

JStreet ...

supports a Fatah-Hamas unity government.  Need we say more?

FROM SARAH STERN, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF EMET

Dear Friend of Israel,  I could not believe my ears.

During the recent Gaza war, as Hamas rockets rained on Israeli cities, the White House froze weapon resupplies to Israel after it tapped pre-positioned U.S. stockpiles.  No matter that a Pentagon official was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying, "No presidential approval or sign-off by the secretary of state was required. The standard review process was properly followed."

Friends on Capitol Hill tell EMET they have had to "work around" the White House to maintain close cooperation with Israel.

What's more, a letter circulating in the U.S. Senate urging the U.S. work with the Palestinian Authority Fatah-Hamas unity government has won support from JStreet and an older, more established, pro-Israel organization.  The letter would require new U.S. funds to train PA security forces, pay Gaza salaries, and rebuild Gaza – effectively rewarding Gaza for its recent war on Israel.  The Jerusalem Post says the position of the older, more established, pro-Israel organization "signals a sharp change," only weeks after having advocated Congress penalize the PA for joining ranks with Hamas.

Under the cover of the interim program Iran:
- Dramatically increased the throughput of its centrifuges so that it can make weapons grade material faster than ever before
- Made major progress in the the delivery systems so that nuclear warheads can reach every corner of the world when they have them
- Worked with Syria and North Korea at a nuclear weapons site in Syria near the Lebanese border (as revealed by Der Spiegel)

Christi Parsons.

Q    Thank you, Mr. President.  The Iran nuclear negotiators have now missed two deadlines.  Should the upcoming March deadline for talks be the final one?  And what are the circumstances in which you think it would be wise to extend those talks?  Also, sir, some have suggested that you are outraged by the Israeli Prime Minister's decision to address Congress.  Is that so?  And how would you advise Democrats who are considering a boycott?

PRESIDENT OBAMA:  First of all, we understood I think from the start, when we set up the interim agreement with Iran, that it would take some time to work through incredibly complex issues and a huge trust deficit between the United States and Iran, and the world and Iran, when it comes to their nuclear program.  So I think there was always the assumption that, although the interim agreement lasted a certain period of time, that we would probably need more time to move forward.

The good news is, is that there have been very serious discussions.  That time has been well spent.  During this period of time, issues have been clarified; gaps have been narrowed; the Iranians have abided by the agreement.  So this is not a circumstance in which, by talking, they've been stalling and meanwhile advancing their program.  To the contrary.  What we know is the program has not only been frozen, but with respect to, for example, 20 percent enriched uranium, they've reversed it.  And so we're in a better position than we were before the interim program was set up.

Having said all that, the issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we're at point where they need to make a decision.  We are presenting to them, in a unified fashion -- the P5-plus-1, supported by a coalition of countries around the world, are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

And if, in fact, what they claim in true -- which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that, in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon -- if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal.  They should be able to get to yes.  But we don't know if that's going to happen.  They have their hardliners; they have their politics.

And the point, I guess is, Christi, at this juncture, I don't see a further extension being useful if they have not agreed to the basic formulation and the bottom line that the world requires to have confidence that they're not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

Now, if a framework for a deal is done, if people have a clear sense of what is required and there's some drafting and t's to cross and i's to dot, that's a different issue.  But my view  -- and I've presented this to members of Congress -- is that we now know enough that the issues are no longer technical.  The issues now are, does Iran have the political will and the desire to get a deal done?

And we could not be doing this were it not for the incredible cohesion and unity that's been shown by Germany, by the other members of the P5-plus-1 --  which, I should acknowledge, includes Russia.  I mean, this is an area where they've actually served a constructive role.  And China has served a constructive role.  And there has been no cracks in this on the P5-plus-1 side of the table.  And I think that's a testament to the degree to which we are acting reasonably in trying to actually solve a problem.

With respect to Prime Minister Netanyahu, as I've said before, I talk to him all the time, our teams constantly coordinate.  We have a practice of not meeting with leaders right before their elections, two weeks before their elections.  As much as I love Angela, if she was two weeks away from an election she probably would not have received an invitation to the White House -- (laughter) -- and I suspect she wouldn't have asked for one. (Laughter.)

So this is just -- some of this just has to do with how we do business.  And I think it's important for us to maintain these protocols -- because the U.S.-Israeli relationship is not about a particular party.  This isn't a relationship founded on affinity between the Labor Party and the Democratic Party, or Likud and the Republican Party.  This is the U.S.-Israeli relationship that extends beyond parties, and has to do with that unbreakable bond that we feel and our commitment to Israel's security, and the shared values that we have.

And the way to preserve that is to make sure that it doesn't get clouded with what could be perceived as partisan politics. Whether that's accurate or not, that is a potential perception, and that's something that we have to guard against.

Now, I don't want to be coy.  The Prime Minister and I have a very real difference around Iran, Iran sanctions.  I have been very clear -- and Angela agrees with me, and David Cameron agrees with me, and the others who are a member of the negotiations agree -- that it does not make sense to sour the negotiations a month or two before they're about to be completed. And we should play that out.  If, in fact, we can get a deal, then we should embrace that.  If we can't get a deal, then we'll have to make a set of decisions, and, as I've said to Congress, I'll be the first one to work with them to apply even stronger measures against Iran.

But what's the rush -- unless your view is that it's not possible to get a deal with Iran and it shouldn't even be tested? And that I cannot agree with because, as the President of the United States, I'm looking at what the options are if we don't get a diplomatic resolution.  And those options are narrow and they're not attractive.  And from the perspective of U.S. interests -- and I believe from the perspective of Israel's interests, although I can't speak for, obviously, the Israeli government -- it is far better if we can get a diplomatic solution.

So there are real differences substantively, but that's separate and apart from the whole issue of Mr. Netanyahu coming to Washington.  All right? ________________________________________
