Obama tells US Jews: Rockets will fall on Tel Aviv if Congress kills Iran nuclear deal
Jerusalem Post ^ | 8/5/2015 | MICHAEL WILNER,HERB KEINON

Rockets would fall on Tel Aviv and Israel would “bear the burden” of a US military attack on Iran that would result from a scuttling of the Iran nuclear deal, US President Barack Obama told a delegation of Jewish leaders at the White House on Tuesday.

The meeting, held in the Cabinet Room for over two hours, featured a passionate president intent on winning over skeptics of the signature agreement. The nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is intended to cap, restrict, monitor and partially roll back Iran's nuclear work for a fifteen year period in exchange for sanctions relief.

According to Greg Rosenbaum, the chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council and one of nearly two dozen heads of Jewish organizations in the meeting, when one of the participants took umbrage with Obama’s characterization of those who are opposed to the deal as warmongers, Obama launched into an explanation of why he believed that the rejection of the deal would ultimately lead to a US military attack. Obama said that if Congress rejected the deal, the Iranians would walk away from negotiations, and he would be under intense pressure to take military action.

Rosenbaum, who supports the deal, said that Obama mentioned the possibility of suicide speed boats ramming into a US aircraft carrier, but that Israel would “bear the brunt of the burden” as rockets would fall on Tel Aviv.

Obama doubling down on the fearmongering and scare tactics.

Sure, the Obama-Wright-Farrakhan-fill in choices mindset, der Juden brought it on themselves.

Is the President suggesting that if Congress rejects his "deal", the US is going to attack Iran?

Or does the Community Organizer Fool really think that Israel won't factor in the consequences before a strike. Bibi will even factor in the consequences in the Diaspora, aka US Jews, even though he shouldn't.

Proper response:


If so, then tell your friends, Hussein, that nukes will fall on Tehran.

Period. Full stop. End of story.

"Obama tells US Jews: Rockets will fall on Tel Aviv if Congress kills Iran nuclear deal"

That's quite a threat. Will our Navy wait until the Russians, Iranians and Syrians ally with the Sunni Muslim nations before doing it?

That is, will the next proudly unrepentant president be doing it?
