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.
RE: Major Jewish Group Calls on Obama to Denounce Iran’s ‘Quds Day’ Rallies Featuring ‘Death to Israel’
HA HA HA, He isn’t even bothered by them chanting DEATH TO AMERICA ...
Why in the world would he denounce their ‘death to Israel’ chants when he doesn’t bat an eyelid to their ‘death to America’ chants?
“Down, Down, USA!”
A classic since 1979...
He’ll likely eventually be telling us he invented that chant.
[the Simon Wiesenthal Center]
I would have hoped the Simon Wiesenthal Center might be a little more, ahem, hip to the beat of the music or discerning, perhaps.
Looks like these guys just got promoted to the top of the invasive IRS audit list....
“Major Jewish Group Believes in Unicorns.
You expect 0 to tell his best buds to stop hating Israel?
Yeah, that’ll happen.
Again we missed great targets of opportunity.
I’d love to see glowing ayatollahs in the evening.
Are Unicorns kosher? I’ll have to ask Greg Gutfeld, the world’s leading expert on Unicorns and Marxist Dems.
Obuma is about to be destroyed by our Jewish friends. Here comes the golem, Buckwheat. Squish!
Is this one of those major Jewish groups whose members flock to Urkel’s 35,000 dollar a plate fundraisers?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ok, the administration won't send a representative.
Well, Rabbi Cooper did say that both the USA and Israel are Iran's core enemies:
"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."
At least the Simon Wiesenthal Center and American Jewish Committee are on the right side of this. I'm wondering whether Abe Foxman's Anti-Defamation League has been as well.
Actually, the tachas, the animal whose skins were used to make the Mishkan (tabernacle) in the Wilderness, was a colorful creature with a single horn. It was created specifically for that purpose and when the Mishkan was no longer necessary it was then removed from the world.
It should be tachash, not "tachas."
All the ramblings and speeches of Jewish organizations in America amounts to a collective fart.
What counts in the end is the Blue Star of David on the side of the Israeli fighter plane...
All the rest isn’t work a wooden Shekel.
