In response to Hillary's insane, bellicose threats, a rabbi from Berkeley heads to Iran. From the JPost:

————-

For the first time, an American rabbi will be traveling to Iran Tuesday on a mission of interfaith dialogue and understanding.

Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, one of the early forces behind the Jewish Renewal movement in America, will co-lead a delegation of 21 peace activists to the Islamic Republic on a mission "to humanize the face of Iran, lest we end up with a disaster of global proportions we cannot imagine," she told The Jerusalem Post by phone on Monday.

Gottlieb, a longtime peace activist and recent cofounder of the Shomer Shalom Institute for Jewish Non-Violence, said her participation in the mission came out of Tuesday's threat by Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton that an Iranian assault on Israel would be met with an American response that would "obliterate" Iran.

"It is important to negotiate and not threaten obliteration," Gottlieb believes, "in particular because there are between 30,000 and 40,000 Jewish people living in Iran, the oldest extant Jewish community in the Middle East, which has been there since the first exile in 586 BCE."

This false consciousness is useful for diverting average Americans from the real economic perils they face as a result of greed, power madness, incompetence and mismanagement by One World Marxist and Capitalist materialists.

Can Obam deliver America from these new Pharisees? No. He's too indoctrinated by the black Marxists. But Phil is right: he is unreliable when it comes to waging WWIII against Islam, and so the Jewish and Judaized-Christian Establishment wants him eliminated. This is why Hillary and Fox News are collaborating to get her message out.

They have no clue.

They just bend over.
