Rabbis for Nuclear Iran (Deal)

Ameinu, a “social justice”-style Jewish organization, announced on Monday, Aug. 17, that it had gathered “340 rabbis from all streams of Judaism,” who signed their names to a letter to all members of Congress, urging support for the Nuclear Iran Deal.

The 340 rabbis congratulated the Obama administration for “successfully” bringing together the “major international powers to confront Iran over its nuclear ambition.”

The understanding of these rabbis is that should the agreement be rejected by Congress, “those sanctions will end. There will be no new negotiations, as the other member countries are fully in favor of this agreement and have not desire to re-negotiate.”

The rabbis state in their letter to members of Congress that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action “blocks Iran’s path to a nuclear Iran,” – something which is very much in dispute. The rabbis openly acknowledge that the Agreement “does not deal with Iran’s support for terror.” But that’s okay, according to these rabbis, because “that was never the purpose of these talks.”

The rabbis suggest that instead of worrying about the huge multi-billion dollar injection of money with which Iran will be able to support terrorism under this deal, the parties should pony up “additional resources” to deal with that issue.

But the biggest concern for the 340 Rabbis is that some people have been led to believe that the “leadership of the American Jewish community is united in opposition to the agreement.” Heaven forbid. Nope, these 340, all of whom are listed below, “fully support this historic nuclear accord.”

The following are the rabbis who signed the Ameinu letter:
