“The morality of avoiding another needless and horrible war

is more important than politics.”  (AlterNet, August 10, 2015)

This statement comes from  Danny Goldberg, whose father fought in five bloody battles against

the Nazis in Normandy and helped liberate the Buchenbald concentration camp in Germany.

He  believes that his father, now dead, would have enthusiastically supported the Iran deal

that President Obama and five other world leaders  have negotiated with Iran.

A  prominent Jew, Goldberg  disagrees with Senator Shumer’s opposition to the Iran deal

and points out that many Jewish politicians support the deal including, Barbara Boxer,

Bernie Sanders, and Dick Durbin.  More important, the majority of Jews,

according to a recent poll by the Jewish Journal, favor approval of the deal (53%) over disapproval (35%).

In addition, the majority of American voters have consistently  voted in polls

in the last five years that they favor avoiding military action against Iran.

They clearly support a deal with Iran–to avoid another needless and horrible war.

Yet, our own senators and representative in Washington D.C. have not publicly supported this important, historic  agreement.
