Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) triggered controversy with a fiery floor speech in the Senate on Tuesday night, accusing supporters of the bipartisan Kirk-Menendez bill on Iran sanctions of wanting "regime change" and declaring that "we cannot let Israel determine when and where the United States goes to war." The bill includes a provision offering support to Israel in the event of an Israeli pre-emptive strike on Iran.
Feinstein, who chairs the Select Committee on Intelligence and is considered pro-Israel, but her remarks, which echo those of anti-Israel critics, have provoked outrage. The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on her to apologize, noting that the bill includes a proviso that: "Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed as a declaration of war or an authorization of the use of force against Iran."
Adding that the Kirk-Menendez's bill's language on Israel is the same as that in another bill that Feinstein co-sponsored, RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks blasted Feinstein: "We are deeply troubled to see Senator Feinstein making such incendiary and inaccurate remarks on the Senate floor. We call on her to retract this reckless and false charge and apologize to her colleagues and to the millions of Americans who support a comprehensive, robust strategy to prevent the Tehran regime from obtaining a nuclear weapons capability."
In her speech, Feinstein said that "a vote for this legislation will cause negotiations to collapse," arguing that the six-month deal reached in Geneva and finalized on Sunday represented "the best opportunity in more than 30 years to make a major change in Iranian behavior." The deal provides some sanctions relief in return for suspending parts of Iran's uranium enrichment program and allowing limited international inspections.

“She’s not Jewish.”
Yeah, well maybe because her mother wasn’t 100% Jewish, but somewhere along the way she’s managed to become a pariah nonetheless! And all three of her husbands have been Jewish, so just like Obama considers himself to be Black when he’s only about 7% Black, so too does Feinstein likely regard herself as a Jew. My conservative Jewish friends would call her a Capo. It’s a distinction without a difference.
Dumb broad and old hag been in too long ! Term limits !
American Jews will have to decide who they support, their brethren or Obama and his minions. All Americans will have to decide. whether the US will protect Iran’s nuclear weapons program or our national security.
Excellent.
Hey, Diane, there are these large buildings known as “Sysnagoges” where you can seek forgiveness from an understanding Rabbi . . .
Synagogues . . .
It isn't one Rabbi alone who she would need forgiveness from. And the heavenly bill for this particular sin may be higher than she can afford to pay.
