Abe Foxman wants to ramp up the sanctions against Iran and cripple the country. Because of its threat to us, not Israel. Understood?
Ayatollah Ali Khameini, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has said that conflict with America is "natural and unavoidable" and ascribes many of Iran’s problems to sinister American plots. Chants of "Death to America" precede the chants of "Death to Israel" at regime-led rallies.
That Iranian missiles cannot yet reach America is irrelevant. If Iran were to attack the U.S. with a nuclear weapon, it would do so with maximum deniability to reduce the chance of retaliation. Intercontinental missiles have clear return addresses, unlike a nuclear bomb onboard a cargo ship that explodes in an American port. Even if Iran dared not attack the U.S., the nuclear proliferation in the Middle East provoked by an Iranian nuclear weapon capacity would increase the odds of a nuclear or radiological attack by Islamic terrorists.
As news reports from December made clear, the U.S. government appreciates this threat, yet we remain vulnerable…
America has the economic and military power to counter Iran and is sufficiently threatened by Iran’s nuclear weapons program to generate the political will to act.
Iran does not threaten the USA. It’s quite the contrary. Look at a map. Are Iranian boats with nuclear capacity patroling our oceanic borders? Are Iranian troops stationed in Canada, in Mexico? In Cuba? In the Phillipines? In Haiti? Are Iranian nuclear missiles stationed in five West European countries, pointed at the USA? Foxman is Crusty the Clown.
Recent war games at the Brookings Institution (the Saban Center!!!) have demonstrated that the only possible winner of an attack on Iran would be Iran.
Once again we are forced to reference Samuel Johnson’s observation that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. But AF will get away with it, he always does.
The blatancy of his double standrds could not be more apparent. I could only wonder how hecontinues to oppose any BSD campaigns aimed at Israel while calling for them, at full throat, to be used bythe US against Iran.
Is there any way to force this man to register as a foreign agent?
Foxman should be required to register as a foreign agent, and there would hundreds right next to him … and all who post on this site can rattle of the names of at least 40 or 50 very prominent individuals from memory
I guess I’ll never know what it must feel like to be born in one place, grow up there and spend my entire life there only to pledge my full allegiance to a different place, far far away. It must be a weird feeling.
Just ask Witty.
