Elie Wiesel, Ted Cruz Urge U.S. to Take Iran Seriously, Listen to Netanyahu
Free Beacon ^ | 3/2/15 | Brent Scher

Posted on 03/02/2015 10:01:02 PM PST by Nachum

Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel told a large group on Capitol Hill on Monday that the threat of a nuclear Iran must be taken seriously and said it was important that Americans hear Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.

Wiesel was joined by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) in a jam-packed Senate auditorium for a discussion on the dangers of Iran and the rising tide of anti-Semitism across the globe.

“To be Jewish in this world is to always be concerned,” explained Wiesel when asked about Iran. “When enemies make threats, take them seriously.”

“When evil begins its work, don’t give it another chance,” said Wiesel.

Echoing Wiesel’s grave words on Iran was Cruz, who was introduced by event moderator Rabbi Shmuley Boteach as a “lion in the defense of Israel and the Jewish people.”

Cruz argued that the political squabbles such as the one surrounding Netanyahu’s Tuesday speech are “nonsense” and that it is time to start taking Iran seriously.

The D party is proving itself a grave danger to the United Ststes of America. This ain’t your granny’s D party. It’s been infiltrated and taken over by a communist- IslamoNazi conspiracy. It’s a good thing they’re “outing” thrmselves now ( in this ludicrous way) so we can identify just who the Enemy Within really are.

I think we’re going to see all nation leaders projecting they’ve kissed and made up, including with Russia as already evidenced, in order to take on ISIS and Iran before either get any further out of hand..

How Iran got the bomb and what follows as a result is going to go down in the history books as one of the pivotal moments of this era. Similar to Neville Chamberlain and Britain in the 1930s. This is going to be Obama’s real legacy.

This man knows what evil is.

He lived through evil and saw his family killed by those filled with Satanic hatred.

Are there any adults listening?

As usual Cruz is spot on . They (Pols.) should listen to Netanyahu. History will not be kind to those who didn't listen.

Dear Caww..

Thank you for that riveting and terrifying video.

Obozo and his evil henchmen won’t be happy until that is the scene in Tel Aviv...and New York City.

I was, that's WAS, having a problem with this foreigner coming here to address our Congress to urge our cooperation in HIS plan to handle Iran.

Never going to really like the idea of Foreigners influencing our people. But, turnabout is fair play. The Mombasa MF has been up to his eyeballs in "régime change" in Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Syria et al, always favoring the "rebels," who we are told are fighting for "democracy." So far, all these rebels have done is massacre those who are not buying their brand of Islam. That includes decapitating,torturing, raping, and yes CRUCIFYING my Christian brothers and sisters and their children, enslaving the female survivors. Not a word from the Mombasa MF or his SoS.

I refuse to forget The Kenyan Queer's involvement in the 2007 elections in Kenya, where he, the Junior Senator of Illinois, stumped in country to put jihadist and Communist Raila Odinga into office. After Odinga lost the election and began a civil war in which thousands of my Christian brothers and sisters were massacred, often burned alive in their churches, our future POTUS campaigned to have him share power as PM and invited the murdering SOB as a guest to his inauguration.

Not a word from the inept superannuated jet jockey, McAnus ... before, during, or since! So come on Bibi, The only American POTUS to be raised by a muslim transvestite nanny in our history, has been actively campaigning against you and your party in Israel and raising millions to do it. You are now welcome here. Might as well try and wake up Mr. and Mrs. Dumbjohn here in America in the sincere hope that they will get their fat, ignorant rear ends off the couch and go vote for our own régime change, just as if they were going to Wal-Mart, for which the fat, dumb, and happy always seem to have enough energy.
