This is getting fun. A group in favor of the Iran deal is mustering celebrities in support. Their argument is that the deal is preventing another war in the Middle East. Logical– though they do take it to some imaginative lengths. The video is getting plenty of coverage. Celebs.
A good sign, this video: the better angels of our nature are assembling. Farshad Farahat and Natasha Lyonne are also on the video. The group is called Global Zero, an antiproliferation group. Valerie Plame blogs about her role here.
So glad you headlined this smart video, Phil! This should actually ‘touch’ more than a few out there.
I was so dang happy when I saw this that I actually posted it here, sent it all around, and played it at least 20 times myself.
It’s mahvelous. Queen Noor is, too. Seriously, they went across the spectrum with the voices on the video, and that is smart.
O/T, it looks as if a regional war is heating up next door to Iran. Der Spiegel: Erdogan’s move means dark days for Kurds in Turkey:
This would be Erdogan’s backdoor way of re-establishing his AKP party’s majority and making himself a dictator, by in effect outlawing the opposition HDP party.
The video uses (crappy) humor to impress Americans that the Iran Deal is a good deal; so I watch it on MW and meanwhile I am being inundated on prime time cable new/infotainment TV with heavy Fear ads against the Iran Deal. Well, it’s nice to know some prominent celebrities are standing up to the Israel Lobby matrix.
Wasn,t Valarie Plame outed by one of the chicken hawk neoscons in the Bush Junior WMD fiasco. Payback is the s—s.
An interesting dichotomy would be if pro deal mega dollars roll in to finance MSM ads like thees and the tv execs have to choose between Israel and profits.They either show the ads or expose themselves.The house of cards is collapsing one card at a time.
Neitanyahu has spent 20 + years trying to destroy Iran and in the process has almost certainly destroyed the Lobby and surely Israel won,t be around a whole lot longer without it,s mouth piece in the USA.
The Weekly Standard criticizes the video so: “Nowhere is it suggested that Congress could reject a bad nuclear deal with Iran and pressure the Obama administration negotiate a better one.”
Weak.
