Major Jewish human-rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center called on U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday to denounce marches in Iran marking the country’s aggressively anti-Zionist international Quds Day.
“The SWC is urging President Obama to denounce today’s al-Quds Day demonstrations in Iran where chants of ‘Death To America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ could be heard,” said the Wiesenthal Center.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Center, said despite negotiating with Iran, the U.S. remained one of the country’s core enemies, along with Israel.
“The burning in effigies of President Obama and Israeli [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu along with the burning of U.S. and Israeli flags sends a crystal clear signal to the world, that whatever the outcome of nuclear talks, the U.S. and Israel remain the Ayatollah’s top enemies,” charged Cooper.
The American Jewish Committee meanwhile said the massive Quds Day rallies — millions of marchers, according to Iranian media — sent a “chilling reminder of Iran’s worldview.”
These “mass demonstrations across Iran against Israel and the U.S. [are] a stark reminder that Tehran remains implacably wedded to a hateful, fanatical ideology that threatens the region and the world,” said the AJC.
AJC President David Harris said the Quds Day demonstrations were a reminder why the U.S. could not afford to let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon.
Iranian officials and the military had called for massive representation for Friday’s rallies, where purported moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said demonstrators would declare their “hatred of Israel.” Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corp released a statement in the lead-up to Friday’s ceremonies saying the destruction of Israel was the Muslim World’s top priority.
Though the unabashedly anti-Israel Quds Day was started by Iran to show support for Palestinians in 1979, it is observed internationally on the last Friday of Ramadan in Muslim countries around the world.
...worth a
Unfortunately, you are correct. This is the new reality of an anti-Israel administration in Washington.
Really? I did not know that.
Glad you didn’t misspell it as “Tuschas” which is a contraction of “Tush and Ass”, with a little “ch” thrown in for an Yiddish inflection.
That is why, in Hebrew/Yiddish you can legitimately call the Democrats a bunch of “asses” since that is their political symbol, they sit on them, and then think with them after suffering brain damage.
Denounce? They’re going to have nukes and missiles. Will he ‘denounce’ their detonation over Tel Aviv? Death to Iran. Tit for Tat.
The policies of this Obama-Jihad led government is only a reflection as well of hard far to the Left America's Jews have moved.
As they assimilate and move further and further away from the Torah, they become zealots for anti-Israel policies such as BDS. They “champion” all causes except their own.
Israel's Jews are now facing a desperate Middle East and much of what the Jewish community has done or not done is reflected in the Obama Doctrine of surrender and subterfuge.
It is a sad day...
Abe Foxman is concerned that Netanyahu is hurting 0bama and Iran’s feelings..
