An Agreement is only as strong as the will to enforce it

The Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, just published an article by Rabbi John Rosove titled Many Israeli Experts Believe the Iran Deal is a Supportable Deal Despite its Flaws. He is self-described as a progressive Reform Zionist and national co-Chair of the Rabbinic Cabinet of J Street. Remember that J Street just announced a multi-million campaign to endorse the Iran Deal. This article is surely part of that campaign.

In reviewing the quotes from these experts which he lists to make his case, it is clear that they appear to be making the assumption that the deal will be honored by Iran. But how can anyone assume that?

Every country passes laws and sets up an entity with the authority and power to enforce them. But that is not enough. There must also be the will to enforce them. In many countries, either due to incompetence, prejudice or corruption, the laws are not always applied equally to all its citizens or applied at all.

Even in the United States, this has increasingly become the case. Pres Obama, notwithstanding that he swore to uphold the constitution and the laws of the land, continually violates the constitution and refuses to uphold some of the laws passed by Congress.

Internationally, the UNSC has been given the authority to pass laws (resolutions) and to enforce them. But here it is more complicated because the UN does not have an entity with the authority and power to enforce the resolutions. It must arrange such an entity each time it wishes to enforce a resolution. Similarly when an agreement between nations is worked out, such as the Iran Deal between the P 5+1 and Iran, there must also be the will to enforce it.

Why would any intelligent person pay 2 cents worth of attention to the Israel opinion of a reform “Jew”? Especially one named “John”? They have already shown that they are ignorant and negligent of Jewish law, which puts their opinions and loyalties under severe suspicion. Let this guy rant and rave to his heart’s delight, and then just ignore him. Don’t give him a bit of power by paying any attention to his nonsense.

Yep, they are "cultural" Jews...most of them grow on agar in a Petri dish. They are an infection for the Jews who choose to live an authentic Jewish lifestyle, not jump and dance like a trained monkey anxious to please the general society. They are soooo afraid of being identified as a Jew! Oy! They would sell out their own in a heartbeat. Witness their eagerness to show what good Dumb-o-crats they are, praising the suicidal Iran deal.

Their actions are very reminiscent of those of the quisling "Rabbi" Stephen Wise, a powerful force toward the establishment of reform "Judaism" in America. During WWII, hundreds of Orthodox rabbis begged Wise, because of his close relationship to Roosevelt, to get him to take action to save the Jews of Europe. Reports had filtered through about the Final Solution and they were frantic to get the Jews out. Wise chose to quash all of this so that his relationship to the Big Man, Roosevelt, would not be jeopardized. He chose his own egotistical position over that of 6 million of his own people. How utterly despicable.

Even if enforced and honored, what good is an agreement to accept a blank check?
