340 US Rabbis endorse the Iran Treaty: GOP Not Happy

In the latest round of endorsements for President Obama’s historic nuclear accord with the Islamic Republic of Iran, over 340 American rabbis from “all streams of Judaism” have signed a letter announcing their support of deal.
“We commend the U.S. and the other negotiating teams for their dedication to reaching an agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.  This deal is good for the United States and our allies in the region, and is the best arrangement possible given current international realities” states Rabbi Steven Bob.
It’s further evidence that the deal arranged by President Obama and a coalition of international allies is widely supported among rational thinkers and those who actually want to see some kind of peaceful resolution to the perpetual instability of the Middle East. It also highlights the differences within the Jewish-American community, which has its own share of neoconservative war-hawks closely connected to the jingoistic warmongers in the Republican-held Congress.
