Soros Associate, Jewish Dem
Donors Oppose Iran
Sanctions

Let it be noted that at a critical moment
for the United States and the State of Israel, while Iran continued to enrich uranium and conceal significant
parts of its nuclear program from the world, left-wing Jews are urging Congress
to drop a bill that would apply new sanctions to Iran, even though those
sanctions would only apply if attempts at a diplomatic agreement failed. The
National Journal released the text of a Feb. 27 letter by 82 donors to
"Democratic Leaders," who include Soros associate
and J Street adviser Morton Halperin:
Although success in achieving a final
agreement is far from guaranteed, Congress should allow these fragile
negotiations to proceed without making threats that could derail them or tying
the hands of the negotiators by imposing unrealistic terms for a final
agreement.
Iran has made clear that it would view
enactment of new US
sanctions, even if they did not take effect immediately, and could be suspended
under certain conditions, as a violation of the JPA [Joint Plan of Action]. It
has publicly stated this would cause it to withdraw from negotiations and
resume nuclear activities it has begun to roll back.
Note the appeasement dripping from those
paragraphs. Because Iran has
made threats about something quite beyond the scope of the interim nuclear
agreement signed in Geneva, the U.S. must obey.
Note, too, the complete lack of concern by these donors about Iranian pledges
to continue nuclear enrichment, which the U.S. would certainly be justified
in viewing as a violation of the JPA, if the same logic were applied to both
sides.
Let the record show that these left-wing
American Jews, who in their eagerness to carry water for President Barack
Obama's agenda have effectively appointed themselves emissaries of Iran, are repeating
the mistakes of those who, during the Nazi era, opposed any action to defend or
rescue the Jews of Europe that might provoke Hitler or that might stir
opposition from antisemites at home. "Never again!" means absolutely
nothing to them.
