1. Used to be "conservative" now Messianic
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (08.18.15)
As a former "Conservative" Jew, I was/am dismayed and ashamed at the blind adherence to liberal precepts among "masorti" and "conservative" American Jews; so that now, in order to feel at home with my adherence to true Conservative values, I have begun to pray at a Messianic synagogue. G-d Bless Am Yisrael.
2. The rabbis´appeal
(08.18.15)
The rabbis should appeal the Congress to force Iran to stop its threats against their own country(America) and against Israel and ,actually,against the whole non muslim world .If Iran effectively stops these threats ,than that could be a reasonable accord. Why the rabbis don´t ask for that?

4. The Far Right is going crazy
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Mount Laurel, NJ USA   (08.18.15)
Let me see if I understand this.... Any Jew who supports the agreement with Iran and supports a two State solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict is a self hater, enemy of the State of Israel, and an anti-semite? According to the right wing this includes the past three former heads of the Shin Bet and Mossad, current and former generals in the IDF, the past four Israeli Prime Ministers, the past two Israeli Foreign Ministers, and the list goes on and on. The right wing is running out of Jews and Israelis to call self hating traitors. Soon all they will have is themselves to look at, a rapidly dwiindling group of war mongers who are quite content to send other peoples sons and daughters into a war that will not only devastate the Middle East but cause thousands of casualties in Israel and destroy Israel's economy.

8. I am totally unimpressed by these rabbis
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.18.15)
Yup, they all signed the letter from the comfy coziness of their multi-bedroom suburban bungaloes. Not a single one of them said "and to show my commitment to Israel's safety I'm moving there with my family to show that I believe that Obama is gonna keep Iran from nuking aretz kodesh." Not a single one. Real brave social beings, these rabbis. Ready to appease the Iranians until the last Jew is gone from Israel.
9. Mark #4
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (08.18.15)
Mark, first of all, there are many, many people who are not in the Far Right who think that this is a brain-dead deal. I am a dedicated centrist-neither right nor left. Next, while it is true that there are some former members of Israel's intelligence/defense services in favor of this deal, the overwhelming vast majority of members who are currently serving in these areas in Israel oppose this deal. Also, most Israelis across the political spectrum are adamantly opposed to do this deal. Last week, AIPAC came to Charlotte to present its case against the deal. I found their arguments to be cogent and unassailable. The simple fact is that deal does not meet the minimum requirements of stopping Iran from getting a bomb--not even close. I would encourage you to get away from thinking left vs right, and start thinking about what is good for the U.S. and the Jewish People. If this deal goes through, Iran will get the bomb, just as N. Korea did.
10. Rabbis
Iletzter ,   TA   (08.18.15)
Conservative , reform liberal and neturei karta. All who would embrace Iran and Israel's enemies.
11. Many Jews just as those Rabbis suffer from a unique Jewish s
Bo   (08.18.15)
Many Jews just as those Rabbis suffer from a unique Jewish sickness, and there is no cure for it, the name is; DIASPORA SYNDROME. This why the Jews wondered 40 years in the desert, but it didn't cure all
12. rabbis, stay out of politics, especially nuclear politics
c   (08.18.15)
these people are simply parroting obama talking points. 1 iran's nuclear weapons program is illegal as it stands. 2 the natanz, fordow uranium enrichment facilities were not descovered by us intelligence but by iranian dissidents. hence there is no reason to believe that subsequent illegal nuclear facilities will be descovered by us intelligence. 3 should new illicit nuclear facilities be descovered, iran will not let iaea inspections of the site. 4 verification regime depends on the iaea whose separate deal with iran is secret and not even read by kerry. 5 iran is allowed to continue r&d of advanced centrifuges. hence, iran will be able to assemble a new and smaller enrichment plant when research has yielded fruit. 6 therefore, it is false to claim that iran's path to nuclear bombs have been stopped. 7 iran will receive 150 billion dollars in sanctions relief as soon as the deal is signed. 8 as a result, iran will be able to buy huge quantites of advanced conventional weapons and have an advanced army with which to control much of the middle east and continue its proxy war against all states, especially the jewish state. 9 iran will keep its ballistic missiles and continue r&d on ballistic missile development. 10 all sanctions on iran will be lifted, including on the external terror al quds force, as well as the irgc and the basij whose sole job is to murder and torture opponents of the regime. 11 this capitulation deal enshrines the shia terror state as a regional nuclear state. the totalitarian genocidal shia terror regime has been ensured of its survival with huge wealth, huge conventional army supplied by russia, and a guaranteed path to nuclear weapons and the ballistic missiles to deliver them.
13. Just follow your government policy on this one
(08.18.15)
And let the wicked be wicked still. And let the right people be righteous!!! Iran can only turn the nuclear weapons on themselves. The only thing that we can think of is the refugees from another fail Arab Islamic state. But if we have any surplus left from our economy that will be okay!!! But the truth is they will turn the gun on themselves!!!! AMEN AND THAT WILL DO.
14. They are meschugge...plain & simple !
