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.

.....”Thank you for that riveting and terrifying video”...
Your welcome....it is a terrifying and riveting video of this Tikirt Battle...and should also give us an idea how that would be if there’s a war directly against Israel....I believe when the ME, Iran dominated countries, ever rises against Israel they will go at it just as hard....
BIBI’s speech today was absolutely direct and precise....he layed it all out exactly what Congress needed to hear, and they well showed BIBI they support him no matter the 50 no shows, which weren’t noticed being missed, including none of the Administration. (Note: Over 40 standing Ovations throughout his speech with Representatives tripping over themselves to shake his hand before and after)
Netanyahu, within the hour, in US speech: Iran dominates four Arab capitals: Baghdad, Sanaa, Beirut and Damascus
That Iran dominates four Arab capitals: Baghdad, Sanaa, Beirut and Damascus should itself have deterred Obama and this entire administration from any deal....but of course BO wants any kind of deal so he can say that he got one, regardless what it gives or takes or risks for the world it brings...and it will surely do so.
BO is Worse than a fool...he hss done everything he can to lift and maintain the image of Islam throughout the world at all costs.
My dear ol’ Irish Mother had this to say about the speech.
“It’s like when someone dies.
When you have the wake, you do not so much remember who DID show up to pay their respects.
But you sure do remember the ones who DIDN’T.”
You want praise? Die.
You want blame? Marry.
LOL...Love them Irish!
