I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan, but I’m very glad it happened'-When it comes to Jewish ties, no GOP candidate trumps Trump-Presbyterian himself, Republican presidential hopeful’s daughter, two grandkids are Jewish; has been longtime supporter of Israel-By Uriel Heilman August 8, 2015, 3:09 am-the times of israel

NEW YORK (JTA) — Among the expansive field of Republican presidential candidates on display in the party’s first debates Thursday night, Donald Trump may be the most closely connected to the Jewish people.Trump is from New York, works in professions saturated with Jews and long has been a vocal supporter of Israel. His daughter and two grandchildren are Jewish, the executive vice president of his organization is Jewish — and Trump certainly has chutzpah.But if you expect to find Jewish donors of influence in Trump’s network of associates, you’ll be disappointed: The billionaire’s campaign is self-financed, not donor-funded. Forbes estimates Trump’s net worth at about $4 billion; Trump says he’s worth $10 billion.As the main attraction of the Republican debate, Trump’s trademark chutzpah was on sharp display. When asked about past references to women he dislikes as “fat pigs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals,” Trump said he has no time for political correctness. He bragged about how Hillary Clinton dared not miss his most recent wedding because he donated to her campaign. And he refused to rule out running as a third-party candidate should someone else win the Republican nomination.Given his myriad Jewish associations, Trump is not an unfamiliar face in Jewish circles. He has served as a grand marshal at New York’s annual Salute to Israel Parade. After Hurricane Katrina, he was among a group of celebrities who decorated Jewish federation tzedakah boxes to be auctioned off to support hurricane disaster relief. And in February, he was honored with an award at the annual gala for the Algemeiner, a right-wing Jewish news organization.“I have a Jewish daughter. This wasn’t in the plan, but I’m very glad it happened,” Trump said at the event, held in Manhattan. On Israel, he said, “We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”Before the 2013 Israeli election, Trump recorded a video message endorsing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.“You truly have a great prime minister in Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s a winner, he’s highly respected, he’s highly thought of by all,” Trump said in the 30-second spot. “Vote for Benjamin – terrific guy, terrific leader, great for Israel.”By the same token, Trump has made clear he believes President Barack Obama is bad for Israel and has questioned how American Jews could support the president.“I have many Jewish friends that support Obama and I say, ‘Why?’ and they can’t explain why. They support him, they give him money, they give him campaign contributions,” Trump told radio host Michael Savage in February. “This is the worst enemy of Israel.”Trump at times has dabbled in Israeli real estate. About a decade ago, he bought a site in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area with plans to build Israel’s tallest building, to be called Trump Plaza Tower. He later sold the Ramat Gan property to an Israeli firm before its development. In 2012, Trump met with Israel’s tourism minister to discuss possible investments in real estate and tourism, according to the Israeli news website Ynet.Trump’s closest Jewish association is with his daughter Ivanka’s family. Ivanka Trump, a fashion designer and celebrity in her own right, converted to Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner, the son of New York Jewish real estate mogul Charles Kushner.She studied for her Orthodox conversion with Rabbi Haskel Lookstein of Manhattan’s Kehilath Jeshurun synagogue and the Ramaz School, and Lookstein officiated at her wedding. Trump and Kushner are members of Lookstein’s Orthodox synagogue and are Shabbat observant. They have two children.Donald Trump is Presbyterian. He has said he goes to church on Christmas, Easter and special occasions.When it comes to The Trump Organization, Trump’s right-hand man is a Jewish lawyer, Michael Cohen, who also serves as a top campaign aide. Cohen ignited controversy last week by suggesting that spousal rape doesn’t count as rape. He later apologized, saying his remarks were “inarticulate.”Trump, of course, doesn’t shy away from controversy himself. Just since announcing his candidacy in June, he has called illegal Mexican immigrants rapists, disparaged Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), for getting captured in the Vietnam War and publicly disclosed Sen. Lindsey Graham’s private mobile phone number at a campaign rally.On Israel, he said, ‘We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever’Then there was Thursday night’s Republican debate. Following his verbal fireworks on stage, he doubled down on Twitter, saying, “I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!” He was apparently referring to Kelly’s question about Trump’s comments on women.Trump’s record suggests he’s far from a Republican ideologue. He has given money both to Democratic and Republican candidates, including Republican primary rivals and Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee for president. Trump at varying times has supported liberal policies like abortion rights as well as Tea Party causes like strict immigration restrictions. In the debate, he stood by his past support for single-payer health care, saying that he thought it worked well in Canada and could have worked in the past in the United States.Overall, Trump doesn’t appear to have very many fixed policy positions. Unlike the other Republican candidates, he has no policy section on his campaign website.When Ivanka Trump introduced her father at the Algemeiner dinner six months ago, she said, “He has used his voice often and loudly in support of Israel, in support of developments within Israel, in support of security for Israel and in support of the idea of the Israeli democracy.”One thing is certain of Donald Trump: As long as he stays in this campaign, he will continue to use his voice often and loudly.

GOP donors wanted Bush, Rubio, and Walker to boycott debates unless Trump was disqualified-posted at 12:41 pm on July 23, 2015 by Allahpundit-hotair

So, so dumb, but that’s our donor class for you.Many national Republican officials are increasingly resigned to Mr. Trump’s looming presence. At a meeting of the Republican Governors Association this week in Aspen, Colo., donors and operatives mused about how to prevent him from hijacking the debate.One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line. The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.But none of the campaigns have shown any appetite for such solidarity, for reasons ranging fromtheir strategic interests and not wanting to make Mr. Trump a martyr, to fear of making an enemy of Fox News, the preferred cable network of conservatives and the host of the first debate.You already know the main reason this is stupid. Let me add another: Bush, Walker, and Rubio can each argue, somewhat credibly, that having Trump in the race is good for them. For Jeb, he’s a big-name foil, a guy whom Bush can use to underscore his own comparative moderation and electability. There may be nothing worse to many “somewhat conservative” voters than nominating a Bush … unless the alternative is nominating Donald Trump. For Walker, what could be sweeter than having Trump around throwing roundhouses at Bush for being a RINO and a loser? He’s making the same bet that Ted Cruz is, that Trumpmania will cool once Republican voters start to get serious about picking a candidate. And Walker’s well positioned to pick up Trump voters (and “anyone but Jeb” voters) thanks to his newfound hawkishness about the border. As long as Trump doesn’t hang around the race too long, denying Walker the anti-Bush votes he needs in the early states, he’s pure upside. As for Rubio, he’s pitching himself to righties as the party’s best chance to cut into Hillary’s domination of the Latino vote. The more Trump grumbles about Mexican rapists, the more desperate some undecideds will become to heal that rift with Hispanics before the general election. Rubio, thanks to his Gang of Eight pedigree and his Cuban heritage, may be the closest thing the GOP has to a “magic bullet.” And the more damage Trumpzilla does over the next six to nine months, the more compelling that case for Rubio becomes. So why would any of these guys want to drive Trump off the stage? Especially when he’s already hinting about going third-party if he feels insulted?Actually, there’s a third reason why the boycott idea is dumb: Why would anyone assume that the also-rans in the race would follow the lead of Bush, Walker, and Rubio by boycotting? They’d love to have those guys off the stage. Instead of being relegated to the JV debate at 5 p.m. on August 6th, they’d end up as part of the main show with a gigantic audience thanks to Trump. They could stand there and say, not unpersuasively, that any man who’s afraid to debate Donald Trump has no business negotiating for the United States against Vladimir Putin. If I were an advisor for Chris Christie or Bobby Jindal, I’d be salivating at the thought that Team Jeb might conceivably be so stupid as to cede them the spotlight that way. The only candidate who’s polling badly for whom this might present a dilemma is Rick Perry. Given what he said yesterday, he’d have to at least entertain the idea that Trump’s presence in a debate delegitimizes it to the point where it’s not worth participating in it. But even Perry, I think, would seize the opportunity and show up. After all, he’s the guy who’s trying to make his mark by confronting “Trumpism” directly. Why would he pass on a chance to impress Republican voters by confronting Trump himself face to face? Via the Daily Caller, here’s the Glenn Beck Show yesterday declaring itself a Trump-free zone. I’ll leave you with two quotations to chew on. The first comes from RCP: “[Rick Perry] said he has confidence that the Fox News debate’s moderators—Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier—will be able to rein in the loquacious business magnate and keep him from stealing the show.” And the second comes from … Bret Baier: “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that I have woken up in cold sweats wondering how I’m going to deal with a Donald Trump who’s not listening,”

WELL NOW DONALD HAS GOT HIMSELF IN TROUBLE WITH REDSTATE. THEY ARE BANNING HIM FROM TONIGHTS ATLANTA GATHERING OF WAS 10 REPUBLICANS NOW 9 - SPEAKING AT A GATHERING. DONALD TRUMP SEEMS TO HAVE SAID MEGYN KELLY WAS ON HER PERIOD AT THE DEBATE THE OTHER NIGHT. THATS WHY SHE LAYED INTO HIM ABOUT THE WOMAN COMMENTS HE SAID TO ROSEY O'DONELL. I GOTTA AGREE WITH THIS ONE. I THINK DONALD SHOULD APPOLOG IZE TO MEGYN KELLY FOR SAYING SHE WAS IN AN UGLY BECAUSE SHE WAS ON HER PERIOD. AT THE DEBATE MODERATOR.

28  But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29  And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
30  And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.

Why Donald Trump was banned from RedState event in Atlanta-August 8, 2015-ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION

Donald Trump is not coming to Atlanta this weekend after all.The organizer of the RedState Gathering has rescinded the Republican presidential candidate’s invitation to speak at a Saturday evening rally at the College Football Hall of Fame. Erick Erickson said the billionaire’s comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly were “a bridge too far.” Trump told CNN on Friday that “you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever” as she questioned him during Thursday’s Republican presidential debate. Here’s precisely what Trump said:Erickson took issue with Trump’s comments — particularly the “wherever” part — in a post to his blog overnight.  A taste:“[W]hile Mr. Trump resonates with a lot of people with his bluntness, including me to a degree, there are just real lines of decency a person running for President should not cross.“His comment was inappropriate. It is unfortunate to have to disinvite him. But I just don’t want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal. It just was wrong.”Erickson elaborated on Saturday morning, telling the event’s hundreds of attendees that he thought it was “weak and pathetic to take a tough question from a journalist and assume she’s on her period and that’s why she asked a tough question.”“I have said some really unfortunate things in my life, and I’ve apologized for them. It is not political correctness, it’s common decency,” said Erickson, an occasional, paid analyst for Fox News. “If you don’t have a little voice in your head saying, ‘No you actually screwed up,’ it’s going to end badly for you.”He added: “I don’t want Donald Trump in the room with my daughter tonight so that’s why he was disinvited.”In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Erickson said he called and emailed the Trump campaign late Friday night in search of clarification or an apology. Neither came.“They were immediately hostile and refused to even admit he said it,” Erickson said. Trump on Saturday took to Twitter to defend himself and said the “wherever” part of his comments to CNN referred to Kelly’s “nose.”Erickson isn’t buying it.“Yeah, whatever,” he said. “Last night they weren’t even willing to do that. I’m sorry if it takes you that long to come up with that response, you’re not going to be elected president.”As Erickson mentioned above, he is no stranger to provocative remarks. In 2013, he repeatedly referred to Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis as “Abortion Barbie.” That earned him the ire of another Fox News host: Greta Van Susteren, who called Erickson a “jerk” and a “repeat offender.” But on Saturday, Erickson said what Trump said about Kelly was much worse than what he said about Davis.“Oh yeah, I think it’s fundamentally worse,” he said. “Wendy Davis’ profile in Vogue was about her pink shoes and good looks. They were trying to use that until it became a negative connotation. All Megyn Kelly did was ask a tough question.”A Trump campaign spokesperson quickly fired back at Erickson via email:“This is just another example of weakness through being politically correct. For all of the people who were looking forward to Mr. Trump coming, we will miss you. Blame Erick Erickson, your weak and pathetic leader. We’ll now be doing another campaign stop at another location.”As other GOP candidates seized on his CNN comments – businesswoman Carly Fiorina tweeted “Mr. Trump: There. Is. No. Excuse.” – Trump said this morning his quote was misinterpreted.He later blamed political correctness – a common trope in his campaign – for Erickson’s decision. From a Trump campaign statement:“Not only is Erick a total loser, he has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event. Mr. Trump is an outsider and does not fit his agenda. Many of the 900 people that wanted to hear Mr. Trump speak tonight have been calling and emailing — they are very angry at Erickson and the others that are trying to be so politically correct. To them Mr. Trump says, “We will catch you at another time soon.”At the RedState event on Saturday morning, bleary-eyed attendees awoke to surprise at the news that Trump would no longer attend.Among them was Michael Pemberton, a 66-year-old retiree from Kentucky who scrawled “I AM DONALD TRUMP” on the back of a question card and tacked it to his lapel when he learned the news.Pemberton said there was nothing misogynistic about Trump’s comments, and blamed analysts for “over-interpreting” the remarks.“He has a right to speak,” said Pemberton, who said he won’t return to RedState next year. “You have every right to be offended. I wish to listen to all these people, giving them a fair hearing and deciding on your own.”Others were more supportive. Bill Hood of Canton called it “absolutely the right decision,” while Ginger Howard of Atlanta said Trump traipsed over a “line you don’t cross.”“He has said some things we glossed over, but if you want to be the president of the United States there are some things you just don’t say,” said Howard.Scott Johnson of Marietta, however, fears that Erickson’s decision may have a surprising consequence. “He should have to come and answer for what he said,” Johnson said of Trump. “I’m afraid it’s things like this that will make him make a third party run.”

The one reason Donald Trump was the clear winner of the first GOP debate-By Eugene Robinson Opinion writer August 7 at 12:36 PM

CLEVELAND-It was billed as The Donald Trump Show, and the Republican front-runner delivered. He mugged. He pouted. He projected outrage without being troubled by specificity or fact. When he got punched — and the moderators threw haymakers all night — he stuck out his chin and punched back.Eugene Robinson writes a twice-a-week column on politics and culture, contributes to the PostPartisan blog, and hosts a weekly online chat with readers. In a three-decade career at The Post, Robinson has been city hall reporter, city editor, foreign correspondent in Buenos Aires and London, foreign editor, and assistant managing editor in charge of the paper’s Style section. View ArchiveTrump made it through the first Republican debate by avoiding the one mistake that could have seriously damaged his insurgent campaign: sounding like a professional politician. For that reason alone, he seemed to me the clear winner.I watched the debate at the House of Blues in downtown Cleveland with a crowd of true-believer conservatives at a viewing party sponsored by the American Conservative Union. It might not have been a representative sample of Republican primary voters, and I should note that there was an open bar. So my observations should not be confused with actual political science.That said, it was fascinating that Trump got the loudest cheers, by far, from the beginning of the debate until about three-fourths of the way through, when either exhaustion or the bar began to take a toll and the crowd’s attention seemed to wander.Anyone who thought the Fox News moderators might go easy on the GOP field, or at least its leader, was mistaken. Yet when Bret Baier maneuvered Trump into acknowledging that he might run in the general election as an independent, there were oohs and aahs — but no catcalls. When Megyn Kelly pressed him on the crude and hurtful things he has said about women, Trump’s shrug — “What I say is what I say” — got a laugh, and his attack on “political correctness” drew applause. When Chris Wallace burrowed in on his four corporate bankruptcies, Trump’s explanation that he was just playing by the rules went over just fine.One particularly telling moment, I thought, came when Trump was asked about his previous support of Democrats, including likely nominee Hillary Clinton. The gist of Trump’s answer was this: Hey, I gave lots of money to politicians of both parties because that’s what rich and powerful people do, and in exchange they get access and influence. It’s a rotten system but that’s the way it works, and let’s not pretend otherwise.I think that exchange might help befuddled politicians and pundits understand the Trump insurrection. That is how the system works. For voters who feel powerless and marginalized, I believe it is refreshing and perhaps liberating to hear an insider talk honestly about the role big money plays in politics.Will Trump’s poll numbers continue to rise? I have no idea. But I think the GOP establishment is whistling past the graveyard if it thinks the Trump bubble has burst.It was impossible this week to walk anywhere in this lakeside city’s revivifying downtown without bumping into members of the Republican Party’s political elite, and conversations with them suggested a kind of magical thinking: Somehow, they assume, this whole Trump thing will go poof and disappear. Order will be restored to the GOP universe.That may come to pass. But I’m pretty sure it didn’t happen Thursday night.Oh yes, there were nine other men on that stage at Quicken Loans Arena. The consensus here seemed to be that Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who just squeaked into the prime-time debate, had a good evening and should continue his rise in the polls. There was also a lot of buzz about Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), who some saw as smooth and almost Obama-esque in a hopey-changey kind of way.Jeb Bush, by my reckoning, had a fair-to-middling night. I felt no passion from the House of Blues crowd for anything he said. If he ends up being the nominee, it will be because the party falls in line, not in love.The political cognoscenti seem to think that neurosurgeon Ben Carson had a terrible evening. I wouldn’t be surprised if his poll numbers went up. Just a hunch, but he came across as genuine and charming.As for the “kiddie table” debate held earlier Thursday, the conventional wisdom is right: Businesswoman Carly Fiorina was the star and should at least vault into the top 10. I think she’s wrong about most everything, but she’s sharp as a tack.The GOP race is full of excitement. There’s one problem: On most issues, from women’s health to national security, the party is far out of step with the general electorate. Keep that in mind as this political version of “Game of Thrones” continues to unfold.Read more from Eugene Robinson’s archive, follow him on Twitter or subscribe to his updates on Facebook.

US Jewish leader denies report he criticized Netanyahu-Malcolm Hoenlein says PM has right, obligation to speak out against nuke deal but notes ‘discomfort’ in American-Jewish community with aggressive tone-By JTA and Times of Israel staff August 7, 2015, 8:42 am 5

NEW YORK — Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, denied reports saying he had criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for urging American Jews to fight the Iran deal.In an interview Thursday with JTA, Hoenlein said the reports “could not be more inaccurate.”Hoenlein offered his criticism in a meeting Thursday with several Israeli reporters.“I think that Israeli officials should make the case on the content and the substance of the Iran deal and we will do a good job translating it into activity,” Hoenlein was quoted as saying. “I acknowledge that there is discomfort [in the American Jewish community]… The Israeli government should not be telling US Jews what they should do vis-à-vis their government.”Hoenlein told JTA that while noting he said in general “we don’t believe Israelis should interfere in American politics or that Americans should interfere with Israeli politics,” he also said, as reported in The Times of Israel: “I think Netanyahu has the right to say to American Jews, you have to understand the seriousness of this issue. He has the right, and by his assessment and everything we know, maybe the obligation to reach out.”Hoenlein shares Netanyahu’s opposition to the deal.

US probing if Iranian violated UN sanctions with Russia trip-Russia and Iran decline commenting on whether Quds Force commander made journey to Moscow in violation of travel ban-By Edith M. Lederer August 8, 2015, 12:36 am 1-the times of israel

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States is trying to determine whether the commander of the elite Quds Force in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard recently visited Russia in violation of a United Nations travel ban, US Ambassador Samantha Power said Friday.Power said the travel ban requires all countries deny Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani entry into their borders, and the only exception is if the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against Iran grants an exemption.“To our knowledge no such exemption was granted, and we would know,” Power told reporters Friday. “So these are very concerning reports but we are still, again, tracking down the facts.”Soleimaini has been on the UN sanctions blacklist since 2007, which also requires that all countries freeze his overseas assets.Fox News, citing two Western intelligence sources, reported Thursday that Soleimani arrived in Moscow on July 24 for meetings with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin.Spokesmen for Iran’s UN Mission and Russia’s UN Mission both said they had no immediate comment.In June, the UN panel of experts monitoring sanctions against Iran cited media reports and published several photos of Soleimani showing that he traveled to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon — although no country had reported a violation of the travel ban.Soleimani “was reportedly organizing and training militia and regular forces in those countries,” the panel said. He was also shown on a magazine cover as a commander fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq, it said.Iran says the Quds force has played a key role in rolling back the Islamic State group, which now controls about a third of Iraq and Syria. The effort has been led by Soleimani, but Tehran insists its officers are only providing military advice and training.In the years following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, American commanders repeatedly accused the Quds Force of backing Shiite militias implicated in attacks on American troops and Sunni civilians, charges denied by Tehran.2015 The Associated Press.

Iran nuclear deal opens diplomatic channels for Syria-New efforts suggest world powers more willing to engage in talks with Bashar Assad’s Tehran-backed regime-By Zeina Karam and Adam Schreck August 8, 2015, 1:12 am-the times of israel

BEIRUT (AP) — The nuclear deal with Iran was widely expected to affect other Middle East issues, and that may already be happening with Syria. A series of recent diplomatic maneuvers suggest a growing willingness to at least engage with the Iranian-backed government of Bashar Assad on ways to end the country’s civil war.The embattled leader seems no more inclined to step aside now than he did four years ago, and any agreement still looks to be far off — but the search seems to be on for an elegant solution that might, for example, allow him a transitional role. In part, it is also driven by the new leadership team in Saudi Arabia, which emerged with the accession to the throne of King Salman in January.Another factor is the emergence and spread of the violent and fanatical Islamic State group as the most potent opposition to Assad, far more so than the relatively moderate rebels who won a measure of world support after the conflict began four years ago. Despite his government’s brutality and aerial bombardment that has leveled some opposition-held areas, the 50-year-old former eye doctor now seems, at least to some, comparatively more palatable.The civil war has killed at least 250,000, displaced half the population, flooded brittle neighboring countries with refugees and has left jihadis occupying not only much of Syria but also perhaps a third of Iraq.Among the developments of recent days:— In the wake of mediation by Assad’s Russian patrons, a quiet, ice-breaking meeting took place in Riyadh in late July between Brig. Gen. Ali Mamlouk, the head of Syria’s powerful National Security Bureau, and Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s deputy crown prince and defense minister. That represented a significant shift and an opening of channels between two countries that have become arch foes in Syria’s conflict. Saudi Arabia along with other Gulf states has been a key backer of rebels fighting to topple Assad.— Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem flew Thursday to Oman after a two-day visit to Tehran, amid unconfirmed reports in pro-Assad media outlets that the Omani government was trying to broker a meeting of the foreign ministers of Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.— Iran has said it is preparing to submit a four-point peace plan proposal for Syria to the United Nations. According to some reports, it includes a “national unity government.” That is code for allowing Assad a face-saving period in which he shares power — and elections under international supervision. But it would also bring some prominence to the otherwise marginalized relative moderates who have failed to dislodge Assad militarily.Although few will say so in public, there is an increasing, if grudging, acceptance that such a compromise may in the end be essential.Assad’s enormous territorial losses may be pushing him to explore diplomatic options to resolve the crisis. But he is unlikely to fully step aside, and if anything, he may be more inclined to cling to power in the hope that an Iran freed of economic sanctions would support him all the more with funds for his battered army.Dubai-based geopolitical analyst Theodore Karasik said the Iran nuclear deal, which was struck last month between Tehran and six world powers, has “opened the door to realignments and fixing geopolitical problems.”“It seems to me that all regional and international players are rushing around trying to establish a new order in the wake of the Iran deal, and it’s going to continue,” he said. “We’re seeing a huge uptick in shuttle diplomacy by all sides.”This week, US Secretary of State John Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir held a rare three-way meeting Monday in the Qatari capital, Doha. The session included discussions about the Syrian crisis.Lavrov also met Mouaz al-Khatib, a former president of the Syrian National Coalition opposition group whose name is often mentioned as a possible transitional figure, during his Qatar trip.Russia, a key backer of Assad’s government, is seeking to assemble an anti-terror front that would include the Syrian army, the Iraqi army and the Kurds, Lavrov said this week.Russia in particular seems to be acting as a negotiator on the Syrian question and wants to be a partner in the fight against IS, Karasik said. It also sees itself as the main player brokering new relations between the Arabs and Tehran, he said.“In the wake of the Iran deal, there are new opportunities to settle regional differences, and Russia is trying to fulfil what it sees is its historical mission to bring all sides together,” he said.Moscow also has a longstanding relationship with Iran.Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni met al-Jubeir in Rome on Friday and told a news conference afterward that Iran can contribute to a solution to the Syrian crisis. Al-Jubeir was cool to the idea, saying “Iran has been part and parcel of the murder of the Syrian people, and therefore we believe it should have no role” in Syria’s future.The shape of any political settlement in Syria remains unclear.The US would find it extremely awkward to formally back any plan that would legitimize the Syrian government. Kerry reiterated Washington’s position in Doha, saying that “Assad and the Assad regime long ago lost legitimacy,” even as he again called for a political solution to the crisis.Iran is unlikely to drop its support for Assad even if its nuclear deal presents the prospect of a diplomatic opening with the West. Kerry said in Doha that while he hopes there can be “a turning of the page” with Iran on various regional issues, so far a diplomatic option hasn’t presented itself on Syria.Assad still has a firm grip on core areas key to his survival, even though he has lost perhaps more than half the country to hundreds of rebel groups and Islamic extremists. In a speech last month — his first public address in a year — he acknowledged his troops had lost territory and were running short on manpower, but he vowed to win the war, making clear he would fight to the end.“Despite the military defeats, politically the Syrian regime has become more viable because of the lack of alternative,” said Ayham Kamel, director of Middle East and North Africa with the Eurasia group in London.Furthermore, he said the Gulf states no longer have the same priorities they did at the start of the Syria conflict. The war in Yemen and the IS threat have taken precedence, he said.Simon Henderson, director of the Gulf and energy policy program at The Washington Institute, said the current Saudi leadership is still opposed to any scenario that gives Iran a strategic victory in Syria by leaving Assad or another strongman of his Alawite sect in power.But he said the new leadership in Saudi Arabia since the death of King Abdullah is shaking up old assumptions. Mohammed bin Salman, the powerful deputy crown prince, is “prepared to go outside the fences that were previously erected,” Henderson said.2015 The Associated Press.

Jewish terror state already upon us, ex security chief warns-Yuval Diskin says crackdown too little too late to stop ‘State of Judea,’ fed by rabbis no longer in control of their charges and years of weak efforts by Shin Bet-By Judah Ari Gross August 7, 2015, 9:06 pm 34

A former Israeli security head warned Friday that societal divides have led to the creation of a hard-line Jewish settler state alongside Israel, in a sharply worded missive capping a week of soul searching within the country following a terror attack apparently by Jewish terrorists.Yuval Diskin, a former head of the Shin Bet security service, warned that a rising right-wing and religious country is de facto coming into existence, dubbing it the “State of Judea,” using the biblical term for the southern West Bank, and describing efforts to staunch Jewish terror as too little too late.Judea is a “nation of Jewish law, of terror, of hatred against the other, or racism. Today, even the rabbis who gave birth to these delusional ideologies have become too moderate and soft in the eyes of some of their flock,” Diskin wrote.His comments, posted on Facebook late Friday afternoon, came as Israeli officials have vowed to crack down on Jewish extremists in the West Bank and elsewhere following the firebombing of Palestinian houses in the village of Duma last week that left an 18-month-old child dead and his parents and sibling critically injured.A day earlier, a religious extremist stabbed six people at a Jerusalem Gay Pride parade, killing a teen girl.Diskin said his agency never prioritized fighting Jewish terror.“Now and forever there has been a total lack of interest and a lack of will to tackle this issue at the political level,” he wrote.It has always been of greater interest, he added, to investigate Arab and other forms of terrorism. Those that do work to combat Jewish terrorism in the Shin Bet, he said, are often met with tough criticism by the religious community.Diskin listed several members of the Jewish department charged with fighting Jewish terror and other high-ranking religious officers in the Shin Bet service who have been harassed by right-wing activists and even by some “mainstream” Orthodox rabbis.Allegations of these sort have been bandied about for years, and discussed within the defense establishment itself, but for reasons of security and secrecy seldom discussed openly.Diskin, who has been rumored to be considering a political career since leaving the Shin Bet in 2011, is a frequent and scathing critic of the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.His statement was noteworthy for not just warning that a Jewish religious state in the West Bank was in the offing, as is suggested whenever Israel gets close to a peace agreement with the Palestinians and the threat of an Israeli disengagement from the West Bank looms, but that, to all intents and purposes, it already exists.Recent years have seen an uptick in the severity of Jewish terrorism and “price tag” attacks — acts of vandalism and violence against Palestinians and other non-Jews.“In the ‘State of Judea’ there are different standards, different value systems, different approaches to democracy,” Diskin wrote, “and there are two legal systems. One that judges Jews (Israeli law) and one that judges Palestinians (martial law).”In the religious, right-wing Judea, he added, “the [law] enforcement against Jews is disturbingly weak.”The recent push to have the so-called “price tag” attacks be declared illegal was essentially too little too late, Diskin wrote.The central problem in this situation, he said, was the religious Zionist concept of “holiness of the land,” instead of “holiness of the people.”It means that believers will take whatever steps are necessary to defend the land, even at the expense of the people.“There is nothing more dangerous to the national security than that,” he said.

IDF strikes Hamas target in Gaza after rocket attack-Two injured in direct hit on Hamas facility in center of Strip; Salafi group affiliated with Islamic State claims responsibility for firing missile into Israel-By Times of Israel staff August 7, 2015, 9:19 pm 18

Israeli planes struck a Hamas military facility in the central Gaza Strip Friday night, hours after a rocket shot from the Palestinian enclave landed in Israel.The Hamas facility suffered a direct hit from the airstrike, the IDF Spokesman’s Unit said in a statement, adding that the army held Hamas responsible for any rocket attacks on Israeli territory.Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said two people were injured in the strike.Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP that one person was seriously hurt and the other moderately in the strike on a training facility of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, near El Bureij refugee camp in the centre of the strip.He did not identify the casualties.The Palestinian Ma’an news earlier reported that four people were hurt in the attack, which targeted the Nuseirat refugee camp.A Salafi terrorist organization affiliated with the Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the rocket attack on Friday afternoon.The previously unheard of group, operating under the moniker “The Grandsons of the Companions of the Prophet,” said it fired the rocket, which landed in open territory north of the Kissufim crossing, in response to the Jewish state’s “attacks against the Al-Aqsa Mosque” in East Jerusalem.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack.Two more rockets were also launched in the Friday afternoon volley, landing on the Gazan side, according to Hebrew media reports.“Since the beginning of August multiple rockets have been fired towards southern Israel, most falling short in the Gaza Strip. Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live normal lives but instead terrorists choose to use the Gaza Strip as a launch pad for rocket attacks. Hamas, must fulfill its responsibilities or face the consequences,” IDF spokesman Peter Lerner said in a statement.Army Radio quoted security officials as saying the rocket was probably made by poorly skilled technicians and launched by a terrorist group with capabilities inferior to those of Gaza-based Hamas, which rules the Strip.On Thursday night, two rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip falling short of the border and landing in the Palestinian enclave.Sporadic rocket fire over the past several months has frequently been attributed to struggles inside Gaza between Hamas and Salafist groups that oppose Hamas rule.The official policy of the Israel Defense Forces is to retaliate to attacks, maintaining that it holds Hamas responsible for all rocket fire from the Strip.Misfired rockets landing on the Gaza side of the fence do not generally elicit an Israeli response.On August 1, two rockets fell near the Israel-Gaza border fence. No warning sirens were heard and the military was initially unsure whether the projectiles struck the Israeli or Gazan side of the border.JTA and AFP contributed to this report

Salafists claim rocket attack on Israel’s south-Projectile landed near border fence with Gaza Strip, two more missiles said to fall short; IDF scouring area for impact site-By Times of Israel staff August 7, 2015, 8:32 pm 2

A Salafi terrorist organization affiliated with the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip into Israel Friday afternoon.The group said it fired the rocket, which landed in open territory north of the Kissufim crossing with the Palestinian enclave in southern Israel, in response to the Jewish state’s “attacks against the Al-Aqsa Mosque” in East Jerusalem, according to AFP.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. IDF forces were scanning the area to locate the precise impact site.Two more rockets were also launched in the volley, landing on the Gazan side, according to Hebrew media reports.“A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel,” a statement from the Israeli army said after the launch early Friday afternoon. “No injuries reported.”Army Radio quoted security officials as saying the rocket was probably made by poorly skilled technicians and launched by a terrorist group with capabilities inferior to those of Gaza-based Hamas, which rules the Strip.On Thursday night, two rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip falling short of the border and landing in the Palestinian enclave.

Hundreds rally for president after death threats-Reuven Rivlin tells press he is not afraid for his life, after some vow to harm him for voicing outrage over Jewish terror attacks-By Times of Israel staff August 7, 2015, 9:59 pm 2

Hundreds of people gathered Friday for a Sabbath prayer service outside the President’s Residence in Jerusalem to show support for President Reuven Rivlin, after he received intimidation threats online following his sharp criticism of Israeli society and its perceived tolerance for Jewish extremism.The president greeted the participants in the gathering, and thanked them for their efforts to spread a message of unity.“We have come together today, from different different schools of thought, all together, even if we sometimes have differences of opinion,” Rivlin said at the event.“Disagreements will always occur between us, but we all approach them wanting the best for each and every one of us, for the whole people. I am excited and moved by this meeting.”Rivlin has been especially outspoken after two hate-crime attacks toward the end of last week that saw 16-year-old Shira Banki stabbed to death at the Jerusalem Gay Price Parade last Thursday by an ultra-Orthodox man, and Palestinian toddler Ali Saad Dawabsha burned to death in the West Bank last Friday when alleged Jewish terrorists firebombed his family home.In condemning the attack of the Dawabsha family home in Duma and expressing shame that the suspected perpetrators are Jews, Rivlin raised the ire of right-wingers on social media who wished for his death and posted photos and videos casting him as a Nazi officer.The president spoke at an anti-violence rally in Jerusalem last Saturday, following the attacks, and warned that “flames of hatred” were consuming Israel and that Jewish extremists must be met head-on.In a series of interviews in the Hebrew press Friday to mark the one-year anniversary of his presidency, Rivlin said that the online attacks “could be insulting and angering” and that he was facing some “difficult days” with the deluge of hate targeting him, but that “on a personal level, I am not someone who will cancel plans because of personal danger, because I’m really not afraid.”‘Within this country, we tolerate the targeting of our citizens — those who are not Jews, [those who are] Arabs, Christians or Muslims. This may lead us to a situation where we can lose everything’During an interview with Channel 2, Rivlin implicitly criticized the silence of senior Israeli leaders in the face of harsh statements and threats against his life. “If they would say about someone that hates Israel, and I would think it is important to respond, I would get up and say so,” he said. “I would get up and say that while the person may be wrong, he does everything in his power for the State of Israel and for the Israeli people.”Rivlin’s security team lodged a complaint with police earlier in the week over the death threats. An investigation was also launched over a series of videos showing Rivlin — and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — in SS uniforms.“We are in the middle of a great fracture,” Rivlin told Ynet Friday in reference to the tense public atmosphere following the spate of hate crimes. “Everything’s possible,” he added, when asked if he felt Israel could witness another political assassination.“Today there are those who hallucinate that a democratic and Jewish state is only democratic for the Jews,” he warned.“Terror is terror is terror, and it doesn’t matter what nationality that terror belongs to. There is a difficulty in combating the type of terror that is perpetrated by groups of radical Jews. It’s terror from within and it is difficult to bring these perpetrators to justice; we need to create tools in order to combat this style of terrorism,” added Rivlin.“Within this country, we tolerate the targeting of our citizens — those who are not Jews, [those who are] Arabs, Christians or Muslims. This may lead us to a situation where we can lose everything. We need to deal with this situation where children are killed, or where we allow the blood of others to be spilled, or where you have people who say ‘my religious beliefs command of me to burn, shatter and destroy.’ We must deal with terrorism as terrorism, whether it’s Arab terror or Jewish terror,” Rivlin told Walla News.

Ya’alon: Israel ‘not responsible’ for Iran nuke scientists’ lives-Defense minister hints assassinations may resume, says Israel considering air strikes against nuclear facilities-By Adiv Sterman August 7, 2015, 4:58 pm 218-the times of israel

Israel is not responsible for the lives of Iranian nuclear scientists, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said in an interview published Friday, making a less-than-veiled threat that covert assassination missions blamed on Israel could resume.As the world moves closer to ratifying a nuclear deal that Jerusalem says won’t keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear arsenal, Ya’alon told German newspaper Der Spiegel that Israel would do anything necessary in order to assure Tehran does not get atomic weapons, including taking military action.“Ultimately it is very clear, one way or another, Iran’s military nuclear program must be stopped,” Ya’alon said, according to a retranslation from an interview published in the German daily. “We will act in any way and are not willing to tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran. We prefer that this be done by means of sanctions, but in the end, Israel should be able to defend itself,” the defense minister said.He added that he was “not responsible for the lives of Iranian scientists,” according to Der Spiegel, which will publish the full interview on Saturday.Ya’alon further stated that Israel was considering carrying out airstrikes on Iranian military facilities, the German paper reported.Five Iranian nuclear scientists were killed in the last decade, most of them by bombs placed on their cars, according to foreign media reports.Israel was blamed by Iran to be behind the assassinations, but never admitted any involvement.No Israeli was ever caught, though a number of Iranian were hanged after being accused of collaborating with Jerusalem.The last assassination occurred in late 2013 and have since halted, reportedly as a result of American pressure as negotiations between world powers and Tehran over the nuclear program ramped up, according to CBS news.On July 14, Iran and the United States, along with Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia, recently struck a deal meant to ensure Iran’s nuclear program could not produce a bomb by curbing enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief.Israel has loudly criticized the deal as unenforceable and limited in its ability to thwart Iran’s plans for nuclear weaponization, and is heavily lobbying American lawmakers to vote it down, butting heads with the White House along the way.The nuclear deal must be reviewed and approved by lawmakers in the US and Iran before it can be implemented. The deal has run into fierce opposition from many Republicans and some Democrats on Capitol Hill. Some Arab governments have quietly voiced concerns as well.US lawmakers will vote in September on whether to endorse the deal.US President Barack Obama has said voting down the deal will mean the US will be forced to confront Iran militarily to stop it from gaining a nuclear weapon.Though Israel has threatened to strike Iran to keep it from getting atomic arms, analysts say the Jewish state would need American help to effectively set back Iran’s nuclear program, an idea put on the backburner as diplomacy with Tehran has taken center stage.On Thursday, Iran dismissed as “preposterous” claims that it was cleaning up its suspected nuclear military site at Parchin ahead of inspections agreed under a nuclear deal with world powers. The statement came in response to media reports quoting US members of Congress and the Washington think-tank Institute for Science and International Security who said the work at the military complex, seen in satellite footage, could complicate inspections by the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that are a key provision of the deal.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Catholic Church files complaint against extreme right group leader-Bentzi Gopshtain, head of the Lehava, advocated burning mosques and churches at panel earlier this week-By Adiv Sterman August 8, 2015, 1:41 am 1-the times of israel

Leaders of the Catholic Church in Israel filed an incitement complaint against the head of an extreme right-wing group opposed to Jewish-Arab integration, who on Tuesday advocated the burning of mosques and churches in Israel at a public forum.The complaint against Lehava chairman Bentzi Gopshtain was filed in coordination with the Vatican, according to a Haaretz report Friday, and was formulated by a committee which included over 20 bishops and archbishops across Israel.Gopshtain’s remarks during a panel debating Jewish religious law came against the backdrop an arson incident at the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in June. During the session, Benny Rabinovitch, a writer for the ultra-Orthodox paper Yated Ne’eman, asked Gopstein point blank whether he advocated the burning of churches, according to a recording of the debate published Wednesday by the ultra-Orthodox news site Kikar Hashabat.“Maimonides…” Gopshtain started, apparently alluding to the rulings of the 12th century Jewish sage, “you must burn [churches], are you against Maimonides or in favor of Maimonides?”“Don’t tell me about Maimonides, I asked you what you say,” Rabinovitch replied.“Of course I am,” Gopshtain said.Later in the panel conversation, Rabbi Moshe Klein, the head rabbi of Hadassah Hospitals, addressed Gopshtain, saying, “Benzi, just now they filmed and recorded you, and [if] that reaches the police you’ll be arrested.”“That’s the last thing that bothers me,” Gopshtain can be heard saying. “If that’s the truth then I’m prepared to sit 50 years in prison for it.”Gopshtain later responded to reports that he advocated burning churches by saying, “The law is straightforward, Maimonides’ interpretation is that one must burn idolatry. There’s not a single rabbi that would deliberate that fact. I expect the government of Israel to carry that out.”He told Kikar Hashabat, “I said that for speaking the truth, I am prepared to sit in prison. And I emphasized that I don’t burn and won’t go and burn churches.”Lehava opposes homosexuality and the assimilation of Jews, and activists regularly rally against personal or business relationships between Jews and non-Jews, including outside weddings between Jews and Arabs.In December, following the torching of a Jewish-Arab school in Jerusalem and his arrest on suspicion of inciting terrorism, Gopshtain said his organization does not act illegally and accused the Shin Bet security service of trying to frame Lehava to thwart its “holy work of saving the daughters of Israel.” In July, members of Lehava were convicted in the attack on the school.Earlier this week, an internal Shin Bet security service report concluded there was insufficient evidence to blacklist Lehava. The report came as a blow to Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s efforts, with the security agency and legal experts, to build a case for banning the organization.“The conclusion at this stage is that there is insufficient evidence to declare the organization illegal,” the Shin Bet told Haaretz in a statement Tuesday. According to the report, the security agency said it would reconsider its assessment if new evidence against the nationalist group emerges.The Shin Bet’s report came out amid a crackdown on Jewish extremist groups following last week’s firebombing of a Palestinian home near Nablus, in which a year-old baby was killed and his parents and brother were critically wounded, and a stabbing attack by an ultra-Orthodox extremist at the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade which left one dead and five others injured.Three extremists suspected of involvement in Jewish terrorist activity targeting Palestinians were placed under administrative detention — imprisonment without trial — in the wake of the attack near Nablus.Times of Israel Staff contributed to the report.

Russia suspected in cyber attack on U.S. military email-ReutersReuters – AUG 7,2015-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia is the leading suspect in a sophisticated cyber attack on the unclassified email network of the U.S. military's Joint Staff that prompted the Pentagon last month to restrict access to portions of that network, U.S. officials said on Thursday.Early reports firmly linked Russia to the attack, said one U.S. official, who declined to be named since the investigation is still underway."It was a spearphishing attack traced to that country," said the official, when asked about Russia's possible involvement. Spearphishing emails purport to be from colleagues.A second official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, described Russia as a leading suspect but cautioned that it would take time for investigators to firmly attribute blame.The Pentagon declined comment on the investigation.In late April, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter blamed Russian hackers for a cyber intrusion on an unclassified U.S. military network this year, saying they discovered an old vulnerability that had not been patched.In that case, Carter said the Pentagon quickly identified the compromise and had incident responders "hunting the intruders within 24 hours."In this latest case, the U.S. military's Joint Staff, which employs about 2,500 civilian and uniformed personnel, have seen their unclassified email access severely restricted since the last weekend of July. The rest of the Pentagon appeared to be unaffected.Officials told Reuters the attack bore the hallmarks of the actions of a foreign state, as opposed to a less sophisticated hacker.Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technology officer and co-founder of CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm, said his company had seen a "massive escalation" in cyber attacks tied to the Russian government since sanctions were imposed last year over Moscow's actions in Ukraine.He said he had no information on the alleged attack on the Joint Chiefs of Staff network, but his firm had detected a large number of attacks against U.S. national security agencies and commercial companies by a hacker group called "Cozy Bear" that had clear ties to the Russian government. Cozy Bear engaged in a variety of cyber attacks ranging from spearphishing to more sophisticated and complex attacks.The latest set of attacks used hundreds of emails with a zipfile attachment that, if double-clicked, could introduce the malware to an organisation’s networks, Alperovitch said."Once they get a beachhead, their tradecraft is very, very good," he said.(Reporting by Phil Stewart and Andrea Shalal; Editing by Sandra Maler and Eric Beech)

US officials: Russia Hacked Pentagon, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Shutdown Email for past 11 Days-ByPamela Geller on August 7, 2015-E-Jihad, Cyber warfare Infiltration

Obama’s DoD. America is hitting $20 million in debt — what is this lowlife spending our hard-earned dollars on, anyway? The attack affected around 4,000 personnel who work for the Joint Chiefs.‘It was clearly the work of a state actor’An advanced level of cyber war has been detected where Russia was targeting the unclassified email system at the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, according to a number of reports on Thursday.The “sophisticated cyber intrusion” happened around July 25 and “affected some 4,000 military and civilian personnel who work for the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” according to a report at CNBC online.NBC cited its “sources” to explain, “It appears the cyberattack relied on some kind of automated system that rapidly gathered massive amounts of data and within a minute distributed all the information to thousands of accounts on the Internet. The officials also report the suspected Russian hackers coordinated the sophisticated cyberassault via encrypted accounts on social media.”It’s not the first, nor the largest, hacking attack in recent weeks and months. But officials described, “It was clearly the work of a state actor.”U.S. officials said they shut the system down when the threat was detected and the system is expected to be operating again soon.According to the Hill, officials confirmed that no classified networks were breached.“The digital intrusion is possibly tied to a Russian hacking group, known as APT29, that was recently profiled in a report from security firm FireEye,” the report said.The report also said U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter revealed only weeks ago Russian hackers had reached the department’s networks briefly.WND reported, too, that the Internal Revenue Service confirmed recent hacks led to more than 100,000 files coming into the hands of Russian criminal operatives.The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence officer ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, has released “Disinformation,” taking aim at the widely misunderstood but still astonishingly influential realm of the Russian-born “science” of disinformation.”In 2012, the IRS mailed out 655 tax refunds to an address in Lithuania, and another 343 to a single address in Shanghai, AP reported.This latest IRS hack happened at an IRS site entitled “Get Transcript,” which gives filers access to old returns. So far, the hackers have used the information they accessed to claim $50 million in fraudulent tax returns, AP said. That reports of hacking have become more and more alarming recently is evident.WND reported that a breach at the Office of Personnel Management, considered the largest cyber attack ever to successfully reach inside a U.S. government computer network, probably revealed the names, Social Security numbers and other data for millions.First, the agency reported an estimated 4.2 million federal employees had their information compromised. Then they said a second breach probably was even worse.At a recent hearing before the Senate subcommittee on financial services and general government, OPM Director Katherine Archuleta said she was not yet prepared to say how many people were compromised in the second breach. Some media outlets reported that as many as another 10 million Americans could have had their IDs stolen.“This separate breach continues to be investigated by OPM and our investigative partners,” Archuleta said. “There was a high degree of compromise related to current, former and prospective government employees and any of those for whom a federal background investigation may have been conducted.”The suspect in the OPM breach was China.But Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin, now serving as executive vice president of the Family Research Council, said the prospect of military or civilian leaders having their personal information sold to terrorists is a very real threat that must be taken seriously.“First of all you have to ask yourself what could an individual citizen in America do with your personally identifiable information?” Boykin told WND. “Stolen identities are big business and very problematic and the Chinese could use that for the same thing a criminal would, don’t kid yourself.”He said China could steal the IDs from the OPM database and then sell them to Iran, ISIS or some other foreign enemy.“I think that’s a very real possibility, particularly given that they have been major supporters of Iran,” he said. “Now, the other thing is, keep in mind that many of these government officials who’ve had their identities stolen are high-profile people that have enemies. And those enemies may be ISIS or Hezbollah or al-Qaida. But the fact their identity has been compromised would not take even a teenager very long to look up tax records and determine where these people live and that could put them in physical danger.“You can’t downplay that or underestimate it in today’s world where we know the terrorists are motivated to go after high-profile people,” he added. “Once they compromise your identity, it doesn’t take them very long to find out where you live. OPM probably has the largest database of civilian government employees. Also military, and possibly some contractors.”Michele Bachmann, a former Republican congresswoman from Minnesota who served on the House intelligence committee, said China’s breach of the system could yield a windfall of sensitive data that could have multiple uses.“Any opportunist could use sensitive, potentially embarrassing information to blackmail, extort or steal from an individual or commit any manner of abuses,” Bachmann told WND.“Repeatedly during the Obamacare debate, many of us warned loudly and often that Healthcare.gov could be the portal for misuse of the most personal information any American has,” she said. “We learn from experts that sites have links, meaning one government site may allow entry into another.”

18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Russia re-submits Arctic claims to UN By Lisbeth Kirk-aug 3,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:26-Russia Tuesday (4 August) announced it had submitted a revised application to the UN seeking the expansion of its Arctic shelf border, rich in oil and other natural resources.The move is likely to add to the simmering tensions on who has jurisdiction over parts of the Arctic with the US, Canada, Denmark and Norway all in the race.The Russian bid covers an underwater area of some 1.2 million square km extending for more than 350 nautical miles (about 650 kilometers) from the shore, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.The claim includes both the Mendeleev and Lomonosov Ridges, two major structures beneath the Arctic Ocean.Russia was the first to submit a claim in 2001, but the UN sent it back on grounds of lack of evidence, asking for more research to back it up.A vast array of scientific data collected during many years of Arctic research serves to justify Russia's rights to this area, the ministry said on Tuesday.Russia expects the UN to start looking at its bid in autumn.The 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea establishes the right for countries with sovereignty over their territorial sea to set a 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone.In cases where the continental shelf expands beyond the set limit, the zone is allowed to be expanded up to 350 nautical miles with full control of its natural resources.In 2007, a Russian submarine dropped a canister containing a Russian flag on the ocean bed of the North Pole to mark its Arctic claims.The region is drawing intense interest as ice packs melt, opening up new shipping routes and access to abundant supplies of oil and gas.The region contains 30 percent of the world's undiscovered natural gas and 15 percent of its oil, according to the US Geological Survey.It will now be up to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to decide if Russia should be entitled to include the areas under its sovereignty.Norway was in 2009 the first country to get its Arctic territorial claims approved, while Denmark/Greenland submitted a claim in December 2014. That latter claim includes ownership of the North Pole and is consequently in conflict with the Russian claim.

Russia: Failure Is An Option If It Involves Iran-aug 5,15-strategy page.

August 5, 2015: The OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) report finding more evidence that Russia is clearly violating the February ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. The latest evidence is the presence of Russian soldiers from the 16 th Airborne Brigade guarding a storage site for rebel heavy weapons. The 400 OSCE monitors in eastern Ukraine and Donbas, whose job is to oversee the ceasefire, have been complaining for months that they are being restricted by rebels and, less frequently Ukrainian forces from carrying out inspections. Anyone in or near Donbas (as a lot of foreign journalists are) can hear or see the daily machine-gun, mortar, rocket and artillery fire by Russian and rebel units. Russia denies everything and insists that any evidence is fabricated. Meanwhile OCSE observers back Ukrainian complaints that Russian backed rebels continue to fire on Ukrainian troops, often using heavy weapons that, according to the terms of the ceasefire, should have been pulled back. Some OSCE observer teams report coming under rebel fire which, in some cases, is believed to be deliberately directed at the OSCE teams.Ukraine recently held strategy meeting between the president and the top generals to come up with a plan to deal with the increasingly unstable situation with Russia.  Peace talks with the Russian backed rebels are going nowhere and the Ukrainians feel they have to prepare for another Russian ordered rebel offensive. The European countries backing Ukraine are still negotiating with Ukraine over the terms of financial aid. Ukraine needs that financial aid desperately but the European lenders are demanding reforms, especially a notable reduction in corruption. Many Ukrainian leaders are having a tough time with that. But for most Ukrainians outright invasion by Russia is seen as a larger and increasingly more likely threat.Russia continues to back its long-time ally Syria and is currently pushing a peace deal that has the ruling Assad clan going into exile (in Russia or China) and the Assad followers (mainly the Shia and other non-Sunni minorities) allying with anti-ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) groups (Islamic terrorists, especially al Qaeda and Kurds) to drive ISIL out of the country. But after that the war would probably continue because the Assad followers and Kurds want no part of any Islamic radicals and in many respects (strict lifestyle rules, violence against all non-Moslems) al Qaeda is considered as bad as ISIL. Thus the Russian proposal is not gaining much traction.And then there is Libya. China and Russia are being accused of blocking UN actions to achieve peace in Libya. The reason for this strategy is because it causes more problems for the Western nations that are most hurt by the continuing chaos in Libya and flood of illegal migrants. This is right out of the Russian Cold War playbook and is discussed freely and proudly on the streets of Moscow. That Chinese also recognize the usefulness of this tactic.The continuing Russian economic crises caused by low oil prices and Western economic sanctions has led to the government ordering a ten percent cut in the Ministry of Interior personnel. This means some 110,000 people are losing their jobs. The government had earlier announced that the economy shrank by 2.2 percent in the first three months of 2015. Foreign economists expect the Russian economy (as measured by GDP) to shrink by nearly four percent in 2015. Unemployment and inflation are on the rise and the government does not appear to have a clear strategy for getting the oil price to increase or the sanctions lifted. The absence of any clear strategy makes anything possible and that worries a lot of Russians and neighboring countries.Even the military are suffering. Russian admirals recently received some bad news about their future. The persistent low oil prices and continued economic sanctions has caused a reassessment of Russian military procurement policy. GDP is shrinking and the government is having a hard time maintaining the high levels of spending planned to replace a lot of Cold War era equipment. Operations in Ukraine and the perceived threat from NATO and Eastern Europe means that the army and air force have priority when it comes to the budget. The navy leaders were assured that current spending plans would be supported, but the sanctions meant that importing ships and ship building technology have to be put on hold. This is very bad news for the navy because Russian ship yards are mostly mired in Cold War era practices (largely inefficient) and technology (obsolete in the rest of the world.) Admirals fear that the navy was being left to fade away. Russian industry cannot produce a lot of the electronics and special equipment modern ships (commercial and military) require. This makes upgrades difficult as long as the new Cold War with the West continues. The only alternative source available to Russia is China and that means second rate substitutes for Western gear. Despite lots of effort (fiscal and otherwise) the Russian Navy is not being rebuilt and that means it is fading away. No amount of media razzle dazzle or government promises will replace the actual presence of your warships in distant waters. In the last few years the only such appearances have been mainly for show and the few that occurred were heavily covered by the Russian media.  On paper the Russian Navy currently has 270 combat ships (including amphibious and combat support vessels). But only about half of these are in any shape to go to sea. The rest are too old, and usually too poorly maintained for too many years, to leave port. Russian shipyards are terrible at building or repairing ships and efforts to remedy this have so far failed. Thus only about 15 percent of Russian naval vessels are major surface warships or submarines. In comparison the U.S. Navy has 290 warships and about 85 percent can go to sea (the others are being upgraded or repaired.) The current economic sanctions on Russia and plunging oil prices prevent any progress on halting the further decline of the navy and that is not expected to change for years. It is unclear how the Russian Navy is going to remain competitive. It is this vagueness that upsets the admirals the most. That and the fact that the Russian Navy is now being reassigned to its traditional role, as a supporting force for the army.In 2014 Russia exported nearly $15 billion worth of weapons. Some 88 percent was financed by the government owned Rosboronexport. Nearly 70 percent of those sales were to three countries; India (25 percent), China (22 percent) and Iraq (22 percent). Several billion dollars of payments for 2014 sales are being held up by the sanctions. These payments will finally arrive once the sanctions are lifted.As if the government didn’t have enough problems with the economy there is growing publicity about the corruption of senior officials. It’s not just Russian critics but foreigners (and Russians living outside Russia) who are using freely available data in the West to document the huge wealth Russian officials have illegally obtained and moved out of the country. This is often in the form of foreign real estate and other expensive items that can be identified and linked to a specific price. Russian officials are supposed to declare their income and assets, as an anti-corruption measure, but these growing revelations make all those declarations appear to be another government scam.August 4, 2015: The head of the Russian airborne forces announced that if ordered to do so his troops were ready to go to Syria to fight Islamic terrorists in support of the Syrian government. The general noted that many Syrian soldiers had trained in Russia. The airborne forces, along with commandos and airmobile troops comprise about 100,000 military personnel the government can really rely on. These elite forces have to be ready to deal with emergencies across the vastness (11 time zones) of Russia. Some of those hundred thousand troops are regularly operating against Islamic terrorists in the Caucasus and some are in Ukraine or just across the border ready to move in. Some are available for deployment to Syria.August 3, 2015: In the south (Kabardino-Balkaria) police clashed with Islamic terrorists and killed six of them. The dead men belonged to ISIL, which has been increasingly active in the Moslem south. It is believed that at least 2,000 Russian Moslems have gone to Syria to fight for ISIL. According to Moslem leaders in Syria that number could be as high as 7,000. Officials in southern Russia a growing number of these Islamic terrorists are returning home to the Caucasus and account for the increase in ISIL activity there.Sweden revealed that Russia had expelled a Swedish diplomat in retaliation for Sweden expelling a Russian diplomat for unspecified illegal activities.A Russian made Syrian Air Force warplane crashed in northwestern Syria (Ariha) killing nearly 40 people and destroying half a dozen buildings around a crowded marketplace. Thanks to continued Russian logistical (spare parts) and technical (maintenance technicians and experts) help the Syrian Air Force continues to send up warplanes and armed helicopters every day to hit rebel targets. But the Russians have not provided new aircraft and the old MiGs and other Russian fighter-bombers are wearing out and becoming more dangerous to fly. The Syrians use unguided bombs and usually stay high enough to avoid ground fire. Some observers described the crash fragments as belonging to MiG-29. These are the most modern warplanes Syria has but even they have been assigned to bombing missions.August 2, 2015: In the south (Ingushetia) police clashed with Islamic terrorists and killed eight of them. The dead men belonged to ISIL. One of the dead was a much wanted Islamic terrorist leader; Adam Tagilov.A Mi-28N helicopter gunship crashed at an air show being held 200 kilometers west of Moscow. One of the two crew survived (by ejecting) and reported that the cause was a hydraulics failure. This is the sixth crash of a Russian military aircraft in the last month. The other five aircraft could claim advanced age as a major factor. Russia is replacing its 250 Mi-24 helicopter gunships with 300 new Mi-28s. The Mi-28N is a much more complex aircraft than the Mi-24 and requires more skillful and better trained pilots. Russia has sold 14 Mi-28s to Iraq and 30 to Algeria. The first Mi-28s arrived in Iraq in earlier this year and some are believed to have seen combat. But because of this accident Russia has ordered all its Mi-28s grounded until the exact cause of the accident was. This grounding will probably also be recommended for export models.July 31, 2015: A state owned newspaper reported that the average cost of a bribe to a government official had doubled in the last year to $3,500. This was largely the result of the falling oil prices and Western economic sanctions. The government has been very public about various efforts to improve economic performance but so far there has been little action on dealing with the corruption, which the economists (and most Russians) agree is the major obstacle to growth and prosperity. The data on the growth of bribes demanded comes from Interior Ministry records of corruption prosecutions. These are frequent, but not numerous enough to significantly reduce the number of officials demanding bribes.July 30, 2015: The UN is under pressure to replace a private Russian company (Utair) that supplies aviation services for UN Congo peacekeeping operations. The pressure stems from the fact that company workers drugged and raped a Congolese teenage girl.  The company has been paid several hundred million dollars since the crime occurred in 2010. Utair is the UN’s major contract air transport service in Congo and not easy to replace. The mass rapes committed by militias and Congolese Army troops led the UN to formulate a “no tolerance” policy towards this sort of thing. The rape by Utair personnel was no secret. However, continuing to use the company as a contractor has become something of a political embarrassment. Utair also provides helicopter support for UN operations in other countries. The Russians get the job done at a reasonable price which no Western competitors have been able to match.July 29, 2015: At the UN eleven of the fifteen members of the Security Council voted to establish a tribunal to investigate who was responsible for the shooting down of a Malaysian B-777 airliner (flight MH17) over eastern Ukraine in 2014. Russia used its veto to block the resolution. Russia and Russian backed Ukrainian rebels are the main suspects in the destruction of MH17 and the deaths of all 298 aboard. Russia blames the loss of MH17 on the Ukrainians but offers no convincing proof. In June the Russian manufacturer of the missile believed responsible admitted that it was their missile. At a press conference a company rep showed how the pattern of fragments found in the aircraft hull could only have been made by one version (now out of production) of the missile used by their BUK M1 system. Less convincing was the company theory that the missile was not fired from territory controlled by pro-Russian rebels. The aircraft was shot down as it passed over territory controlled by pro-Russian separatist rebels in Donbas. The airliner was at an altitude of 10,000 meters and the rebels were known to have some captured anti-aircraft systems (BUK M1s) that can hit targets as high as 14,000 meters. For three days the rebels allowed only limited access to the site for international airline accident investigators. For a year Russia had officially denied responsibility and blamed the incident on a Ukrainian combat jet or, as the evidence from the reassembled aircraft fragments grew, that it was an ground launched missile but not Russian. The latest admission by the missile manufacturer was part of this media campaign to shift blame but appears to have backfired. Russia will never admit that the missile was fired with their assistance by rebels under their orders.July 26, 2015: In eastern Ukraine a truck loaded with Russian ammunition took a wrong turn and was seized by Ukrainian troops. The two men in the truck were identified as a Ukrainian rebel and a Russian officer. Both men wore uniforms with no insignia and carried no ID. The Russian man admitted he was a supply officer in a Russian artillery unit and was in charge of delivering the 200 cases of ammo on the truck. Russia denied everything.July 17, 2015: Ukraine expelled a Russian diplomat (the head of the consulate in Odessa) for illegal acts. Russia protested but did not address the accusations.Today is the first anniversary of the destruction of a Malaysian B-777 airliner over eastern Ukraine. The rebels there and Russia continue to block investigations of the incident.July 16, 2015: Russia ordered formation of a Western style reserve force. This has been in the planning stages for several years and given the current financial problems this order will apparently mean hiring a few thousand former active duty soldiers to be professional reservists. These men and women will train regularly and be called up for civil and military emergencies, like their Western counterparts. Russia has also admitted this year that the actual number of military personnel on active duty is less than 800,000. For over a decade the government had insisted it was actually a million or more. But draft dodging and a lack of volunteers (to be higher paid “contract soldiers”) has led the personnel strength to keep shrinking. Neighboring countries (especially Japan and NATO) have also noted a sharp decline in Russian air operations (which often require the neighbors to send fighters aloft when the Russians get too close). The military is feeling the strain from the financial crises and the demands of supporting operations in Ukraine, continued counter-terror efforts in the Caucasus and putting more aircraft in the air and ships to sea in order to intimidate foreigners.July 14, 2015: After twenty months of negotiations between Iran and a UN backed coalition (Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, United States) a treaty was agreed on. This came because of a growing willingness among many coalition members to trust Iranian pledges to abide by any treaty. But there was an unexpected downside for Russia in that Iranian oil coming back into the market will keep oil prices down. Earlier this year Russia thought oil prices would rise. They did for a while but have since gone into decline and Iranian oil exports won’t help. Reaching agreement on this treaty was encouraged by Russia, which expects Iran to be a major export customer once sanctions are lifted. Many in the West (and the Arab world) don’t trust Iran and demand a deal with strict monitoring. Iran rules this out as a violation of their sovereignty, an affront to their honor and so on. Israel and many Arab states immediately denounced the deal and are pressuring the Western nations involved to not ratify the deal. Many Russian economists see the failure of this deal as the best Russia can hope for because higher oil prices are far more important to the Russian economy than more export sales to Iran.

Israel ‘doesn’t doubt Obama’s sincerity,’ says official, but disagrees on Iran-After US president’s speech, in which he called Netanyahu ‘sincere’ but ‘wrong,’ Israeli official says agreement hastens war-By Marissa Newman August 5, 2015, 10:48 pm 3-The times of Israel
Israel “doesn’t doubt President Obama’s sincerity” on the Iran nuclear deal, but disagrees that the accord blocks Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, an Israeli diplomatic source said Wednesday, following a speech by the president to rally support for the agreement.The official was speaking shortly after an hour-long speech by US President Barack Obama on Wednesday, in which the president maintained Israel was the only country to object to the Iran nuclear deal. “I recognize that Prime Minister Netanyahu disagrees. I don’t doubt his sincerity. But I believe he is wrong,” Obama said.“Israel doesn’t doubt President Obama’s sincerity, but disagrees with his position,” the Israeli official retorted Wednesday evening.“This deal does not prevent war but rather hastens it because it gives Iran international legitimacy to build the infrastructure for an arsenal of nuclear bombs, it bolsters its terror machine and its aggression with hundreds of millions of dollars.”In his address to the American University in Washington, Obama turned to Israelis and supporters of Israel directly and noted: “A nuclear-armed Iran is far more dangerous to Israel, to America, and to the world, than an Iran that benefits from sanctions relief.”In response, the Israeli official said Obama was “correct” in this assessment, but warned that “this deal gives Iran both the ability to develop nuclear weapons and billions of dollars with which it will support terror.”The official also countered claims by Obama that international sanctions on Iran were ineffective, and lamented that the nuclear deal did not force the dismantlement of Iran’s atomic infrastructure.“Iran’s economic crisis today restricts its capacity for destruction, and removing the sanctions will propel it to proportions that will endanger Israel, the region, and the entire world,” he said.“The deal leaves Iran with nuclear infrastructure that a peaceful program does not need, but which is essential for a military nuclear program,” the official said. “Those seeking a civilian nuclear program don’t need thousands of uranium-enriching centrifuges.”The Israeli official also slammed Obama’s claim that the oversight by the international community would catch Iranian violations of the deal.“The claim that Iran won’t be able to hide a military nuclear program does not correspond to reality,” the official said. “Iran already managed to fool the international community and build secret nuclear facilities in Natanz and Qom.”After 15 years, Iran will only be bound by the Non-Proliferation Treaty and “Iran has violated this treaty time after time,” the official said.In his address, the US president had maintained the only alternative to the nuclear deal was war. It’s “diplomacy or some form of war. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not three months from now, but soon,” Obama said.Obama said the Iran deal was “the strongest non-proliferation agreement ever negotiated. And because it’s such a strong deal, every nation in the world that has commented publicly, with the exception of the Israeli government, has expressed support.”The president said that under the deal, it would be difficult for Iran to cheat, arguing that it would have to build “a secret source for every aspect of its program,” something the president said no other nation had succeeded in doing with such stringent oversight.With regard to its support for terror groups, the president said the US had “no illusions” about Iran’s financial backing for groups such as Hezbollah. “But they engaged in these activities for decades. Before sanctions, and while sanctions were in place. They even engaged in them during the Iran-Iraq War, which cost them a million lives. The truth is Iran has always found a way to fund these efforts.”Moreover, Israel and the Gulf states have larger defense budgets, Obama said.“Iran’s defense budget is eight times smaller than the combined Gulf allies. Its military will never compare to Israel’s, and our commitment to Israel’s qualitative military edge will guarantee that,” Obama said.

Full text of Obama’s speech on the Iran nuclear deal-US president says the only alternative to nuclear agreement is war, argues he has a duty to do what’s best for Americans-By JTA August 5, 2015, 11:28 pm-The Times of Israel
President Barack Obama is continuing to advocate for the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran. Here is a full transcript of his remarks on Wednesday at American University in Washington, DC.-OBAMA: Thank you.-(APPLAUSE)-Thank you so much. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. Thank you very much.I apologize for the slight delay; even presidents have a problem with toner.-(LAUGHTER)-It is a great honor to be back at American University, which has prepared generations of young people for service and public life.I want to thank President Kerwin and the American University family for hosting us here today.Fifty-two years ago, President Kennedy, at the height of the Cold War, addressed this same university on the subject of peace. The Berlin Wall had just been built. The Soviet Union had tested the most powerful weapons ever developed. China was on the verge of acquiring the nuclear bomb. Less than 20 years after the end of World War II, the prospect of nuclear war was all too real.With all of the threats that we face today, it is hard to appreciate how much more dangerous the world was at that time. In light of these mounting threats, a number of strategists here in the United States argued we had to take military action against the Soviets, to hasten what they saw as inevitable confrontation. But the young president offered a different vision.Strength, in his view, included powerful armed forces and a willingness to stand up for our values around the world. But he rejected the prevailing attitude among some foreign-policy circles that equated security with a perpetual war footing.Instead, he promised strong, principled American leadership on behalf of what he called a practical and attainable peace, a peace based not on a sudden revolution in human nature, but on a gradual evolution in human institutions, on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements.Such wisdom would help guide our ship of state through some of the most perilous moments in human history. With Kennedy at the helm, the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved peacefully.Under Democratic and Republican presidents, new agreements were forged: A nonproliferation treaty that prohibited nations from acquiring nuclear weapons, while allowing them to access peaceful nuclear energy, the SALT and START treaties, which bound the United States and the Soviet Union to cooperation on arms control.Not every conflict was averted, but the world avoided nuclear catastrophe, and we created the time and the space to win the Cold War without firing a shot at the Soviets.The agreement now reached between the international community and the Islamic Republic of Iran builds on this tradition of strong, principled policy diplomacy.After two years of negotiations, we have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It cuts off all of Iran’s pathways to a bomb. It contains the most comprehensive inspection and verification regime ever negotiated to monitor a nuclear program.As was true in previous treaties, it does not resolve all problems. It certainly doesn’t resolve all our problems with Iran. It does not ensure a warming between our two countries. But it achieves one of our most critical security objectives. As such, it is a very good deal.Today, I want to speak to you about this deal and the most consequential foreign-policy debate that our country has had since the invasion of Iraq, as Congress decides whether to support this historic diplomatic breakthrough or instead blocks it over the objection of the vast majority of the world. Between now and the congressional vote in September, you are going to hear a lot of arguments against this deal, backed by tens of millions of dollars in advertising. And if the rhetoric in these ads and the accompanying commentary sounds familiar, it should, for many of the same people who argued for the war in Iraq are now making the case against the Iran nuclear deal.Now, when I ran for president eight years ago as a candidate who had opposed the decision to go to war in Iraq, I said that America didn’t just have to end that war. We had to end the mindset that got us there in the first place.It was a mindset characterized by a preference for military action over diplomacy, a mindset that put a premium on unilateral US action over the painstaking work of building international consensus, a mindset that exaggerated threats beyond what the intelligence supported.Leaders did not level with the American people about the costs of war, insisting that we could easily impose our will on a part of the world with a profoundly different culture and history.And, of course, those calling for war labeled themselves strong and decisive while dismissing those who disagreed as weak, even appeasers of a malevolent adversary.More than a decade later, we still live with the consequences of the decision to invade Iraq. Our troops achieved every mission they were given, but thousands of lives were lost, tens of thousands wounded. That doesn’t count the lives lost among Iraqis. Nearly a trillion dollars was spent.Today, Iraq remains gripped by sectarian conflict, and the emergence of al-Qaida in Iraq has now evolved into ISIL. And ironically, the single greatest beneficiary in the region of that war was the Islamic Republic of Iran, which saw its strategic position strengthened by the removal of its long-standing enemy, Saddam Hussein.

I raise this recent history because now more than ever, we need clear thinking in our foreign policy, and I raise this history because it bears directly on how we respond to the Iranian nuclear program. That program has been around for decades, dating back to the Shah’s efforts, with US support, in the 1960s and ’70s to develop nuclear power. The theocracy that overthrew the Shah accelerated the program after the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, a war in which Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons to brutal effect, and Iran’s nuclear program advanced steadily through the 1990s despite unilateral US sanctions.When the Bush administration took office, Iran had no centrifuges, the machines necessary to produce material for a bomb, that were spinning to enrich uranium. But despite repeated warnings from the United States government, by the time I took office, Iran had installed several thousand centrifuges and showed no inclination to slow, much less halt, its program.Among US policymakers, there’s never been disagreement on the danger posed by an Iranian nuclear bomb. Democrats and Republicans alike have recognized that it would spark an arms race in the world’s most unstable region and turn every crisis into a potential nuclear showdown. It would embolden terrorist groups like Hezbollah and pose an unacceptable risk to Israel, which Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened to destroy. More broadly, it could unravel the global commitment to nonproliferation that the world has done so much to defend.The question then is not whether to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but how. Even before taking office, I made clear that Iran would not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon on my watch, and it’s been my policy throughout my presidency to keep all options, including possible military options, on the table to achieve that objective.But I have also made clear my preference for a peaceful diplomatic resolution of the issue, not just because of the costs of war, but also because a negotiated agreement offered a more effective, verifiable and durable resolution. And so in 2009, we let the Iranians know that a diplomatic path was available. Iran failed to take that path, and our intelligence community exposed the existence of a covert nuclear facility at Fordo.Now some have argued that Iran’s intransigence showed the futility of negotiations. In fact, it was our very willingness to negotiate that helped America rally the world to our cause and secured international participation in an unprecedented framework of commercial and financial sanctions.Keep in mind, unilateral US sanctions against Iran had been in place for decades, but had failed to pressure Iran to the negotiating table. What made our new approach more effective was our ability to draw upon new UN Security Council resolutions, combining strong enforcement with voluntary agreements for nations like China and India, Japan and South Korea, to reduce their purchases of Iranian oil, as well as the imposition by our European allies of a total oil embargo.Winning this global buy-in was not easy. I know; I was there. In some cases, our partners lost billions of dollars in trade because of their decision to cooperate. But we were able to convince them that, absent a diplomatic resolution, the result could be war with major disruptions to the global economy, and even greater instability in the Middle East.In other words, it was diplomacy, hard, painstaking diplomacy, not saber rattling, not tough talk, that ratcheted up the pressure on Iran. With the world now unified beside us, Iran’s economy contracted severely, and remains about 20 percent smaller today than it would have otherwise been. No doubt this hardship played a role in Iran’s 2013 elections, when the Iranian people elected a new government, that promised to improve the economy through engagement to the world.A window had cracked open. Iran came back to the nuclear talks. And after a series of negotiations, Iran agreed with the international community to an interim deal, a deal that rolled back Iran’s stockpile of near 20 percent enriched uranium, and froze the progress of its program so that the P5+1 — the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the European Union, could negotiate a comprehensive deal without the fear that Iran might be stalling for time.Now, let me pause here just to remind everybody that, when the interim deal was announced, critics, the same critics we are hearing from now, called it a historic mistake. They insisted Iran would ignore its obligations, they warned that the sanctions would unravel. They warned that Iran would receive a windfall to support terrorism.The critics were wrong. The progress of Iran’s nuclear program was halted for the first time in a decade, its stockpile of dangerous materials was reduced, the deployment of its advanced centrifuges was stopped, inspections did increase. There was no flood of money into Iran. And the architecture of the international sanctions remained in place. In fact, the interim deal worked so well that the same people who criticized it so fiercely now cite it as an excuse not to support the broader accord. Think about that. What was once proclaimed as an historic mistake is now held up as a success and a reason to not sign the comprehensive of deal.So keep that in mind when you assess the credibility of the arguments being made against diplomacy today. Despite the criticism, we moved ahead to negotiate a more lasting, comprehensive deal. Our diplomats, led by Secretary of State John Kerry kept our coalition united, our nuclear experts, including one of the best in the world, Secretary of Energy Ernie Moniz, work tirelessly on a technical details.In July, we reached a comprehensive of plan of action that meets our objectives. Under its terms, Iran is never allowed to build a nuclear weapon. And while Iran, like any party to the nuclear non- proliferation treaty, is allowed to access peaceful nuclear energy, the agreement strictly defines the manner in which its nuclear program can proceed, ensuring that all pathways to a bomb are cut off.

Here is how.Under this deal, Iran cannot acquire the plutonium needed for a bomb. The core of its heavy reactor at Arak will be pulled out, filled with concrete, replaced with one that will not produce plutonium for a weapon. The spent fuel from that reactor will be shipped out of the country, and Iran will not build any new heavy water reactors for at least 15 years.Iran will also not be able to acquire the enriched uranium that could be used for a bomb. As soon as this deal is implemented, Iran will remove two-thirds of its centrifuges. For the next decade, Iran will not enrich uranium with its more advanced centrifuges. Iran will not enrich uranium at the previously undisclosed Fordo facility, which is very deep underground, for at least 15 years.Iran will get rid of 98 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium, which is currently enough for up to 10 nuclear bombs for the next 15 years. Even after those 15 years have passed, Iran will never have the right to use a peaceful program as cover to pursue a weapon, and in fact this deal shuts off the type of covert path Iran pursued in the past.There will be 24/7 monitoring of Iran’s key nuclear facilities. For decades, inspectors will have access to Iran’s entire nuclear supply chain, from the uranium mines and mills where they get raw materials to the centrifuge production facilities where they make machines to enrich it. And understand why this is so important.For Iran to cheat, it has to build a lot more than just one building or covert facility like Fordo. It would need a secret source for every single aspect of its program. No nation in history has been able to pull of such subterfuge when subjected to such rigorous inspections. And under the terms of the deal, inspectors will have the permanent ability to inspect any suspicious sites in Iran.And finally, Iran has powerful incentives to keep its commitments. Before getting sanctions relief, Iran has to take significant concrete steps, like removing centrifuges and getting rid of its stock piles. If Iran violates the agreement over the next decade, all of the sanctions can snap back into place. We won’t need the support of other members of the UN Security Council, America can trigger snap back on our own.On the other hand, if Iran abides by the deal, and its economy beings to reintegrate with the world, the incentive to avoid snap back will only grow.So this deal is not just the best choice among alternatives, this is the strongest nonproliferation agreement ever negotiated, and because this is such a strong deal, every nation in the world that has commented publicly, with the exception of the Israeli government, has expressed support. The United Nations Security Council has unanimously supported it. The majority of arms control and nonproliferation experts support it. Over 100 former ambassadors who served under Republican and Democratic presidents support it.I’ve had to make a lot of tough calls as president, but whether or not this deal is good for American security is not one of those calls, it’s not even close. Unfortunately, we’re living through a time in American politics where every foreign policy decision is viewed through a partisan prison, evaluated by headline-grabbing soundbites, and so before the ink was even dry on this deal, before Congress even read it, a majority of Republicans declared their virulent opposition. Lobbyists and pundits were suddenly transformed into armchair nuclear scientists …(LAUGHTER)-… disputing the assessments of experts like Secretary Moniz, challenging his findings, offering multiple and sometimes contradictory arguments about why Congress should reject this deal.But if you repeat these arguments long enough, they can get some traction. So, let me address just a few of the arguments that have been made so far in opposition to this deal.First, there’re those who say the inspections are not strong enough, because inspectors can’t go anywhere in Iran at any time with no notice.Well, here’s the truth. Inspectors will be allowed daily access to Iran’s key nuclear sites.If there is a reason for inspecting a suspicious undeclared site anywhere in Iran, inspectors will get that access even if Iran objects. This access can be with as little as 24 hours notice.And while the process for resolving a dispute about access can take up to 24 days, once we’ve identified a site that raises suspicion, we will be watching it continuously until inspectors get in.And — and by the way, nuclear material isn’t something you hide in the closet.(LAUGHTER)-It can leave a trace for years.The bottom line is, if Iran cheats, we can catch them, and we will.Second, there are those who argue that the deal isn’t strong enough, because some of the limitations on Iran’s civilian nuclear program expire in 15 years.Let me repeat. The prohibition on Iran having a nuclear weapon is permanent. The ban on weapons-related research is permanent. Inspections are permanent.It is true that some of the limitations regarding Iran’s peaceful program last only 15 years. But that’s how arms control agreements work. The first SALT treaty with the Soviet Union lasted five years. The first START treaty lasted 15 years.

And in our current situation, if 15 or 20 years from now, Iran tries to build a bomb, this deal ensures that the United States will have better tools to detect it, a stronger basis under international law to respond and the same options available to stop our weapons program as we have today, including, if necessary, military options.On the other hand, without this deal, the scenarios that critics warn about happening in 15 years could happen six months from now. By killing this deal, Congress would not merely pave Iran’s pathway to a bomb, it would accelerate it.Third, a number of critics say the deal isn’t worth it, because Iran will get billions of dollars in sanctions relief.Now, let’s be clear. The international sanctions were put in place precisely to get Iran to agree to constraints on its program. That’s the point of sanctions. Any negotiated agreement with Iran would involve sanctions relief.So an argument against sanctions relief is effectively an argument against any diplomatic resolution of this issue. It is true that if Iran lives up to its commitments, it will gain access to roughly $56 billion of its own money, revenue frozen overseas by other countries.But the notion that this will be a game-changer with all this money funneled into Iran’s pernicious activities misses the reality of Iran’s current situation.Partly because of our sanctions, the Iranian government has over half a trillion dollars in urgent requirements, from funding pensions and salaries to paying for crumbling infrastructure.Iran’s leaders have raised expectations of their people, that sanctions relief will improve their lives. Even a repressive regime like Iran’s cannot completely ignore those expectations, and that’s why our best analysts expect the bulk of this revenue to go into spending that improves the economy and benefits the lives of the Iranian people.Now, this is not to say that sanctions relief will provide no benefit to Iran’s military. Let’s stipulate that some of that money will flow to activities that we object to.We have no illusions about the Iranian government or the significance of the Revolutionary Guard and the Quds Force. Iran supports terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. It supports proxy groups that threaten our interests and the interests of our allies, including proxy groups who killed our troops in Iraq.They tried to destabilize our Gulf partners. But Iran has been engaged in these activities for decades. They engaged in them before sanctions and while sanctions were in place. In fact, Iran even engaged in these sanctions in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war, a war that cost them nearly a million lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. The truth is that Iran has always found a way to fund these efforts, and whatever benefit Iran may claim from sanctions relief pales in comparison to the danger it could pose with a nuclear weapon.Moreover, there is no scenario where sanctions relief turns Iran into the region’s dominant power. Iran’s defense budget is eight times smaller than the combined budget of our Gulf allies. Their conventional capabilities will never compare to Israel’s, and our commitment to Israel’s qualitative military edge helps guarantee that.Over the last several years, Iran has had to spend billions of dollars to support its only ally in the Arab world, Bashar al-Assad, even as he’s lost control of huge chunks of his country. And Hezbollah suffered significant blows on this same battlefield. And Iran, like the rest of the region, is being forced to respond to the threat of ISIL in Iraq.So, contrary to the alarmists who claim Iran is on the brink of taking over the Middle East, or even the world, Iran will remain a regional power with its own set of challenges. The ruling regime is dangerous and it is repressive. We will continue to have sanctions in place on Iran’s support for terrorism and violation of human rights. We will continue to insist upon the release of Americans detained unjustly. We will have a lot of differences with the Iranian regime.But if we are serious about confronting Iran’s destabilizing activities, it is hard to imagine a worse approach than blocking this deal. Instead, we need to check the behavior that we are concerned about directly, by helping our allies in the region strengthen their own capabilities to counter a cyber attack or a ballistic missile, by improving the interdiction of weapons’ shipments that go to groups like Hezbollah, by training our allies’ special forces so they can more effectively respond to situations like Yemen.All these capabilities will make a difference. We will be in a stronger position to implement them with this deal.And by the way, such a strategy also helps us effectively confront the immediate and lethal threat posed by ISIL.Now, the final criticism, this is sort of a catchall that you may hear, is the notion that there is a better deal to be had. We should get a better deal. That is repeated over and over again. It’s a bad deal — we need a better deal.(LAUGHTER)-One that relies on vague promises of toughness and, more recently, the argument that we can apply a broader and indefinite set of sanctions to squeeze the Iranian regime harder. Those making this argument are either ignorant of Iranian society, or they are not being straight with the American people. Sanctions alone are not going to force Iran to completely dismantle all vestiges of its nuclear infrastructure, even aspects that are consistent with peaceful programs. That, is oftentimes, what the critics are calling a better deal.Neither the Iranian government, or the Iranian opposition, or the Iranian people would agree to what they would view as a total surrender of their sovereignty.Moreover, our closest allies in Europe or in Asia, much less China or Russia, certainly are not going to enforce existing sanctions for another five, 10, 15 years according to the dictates of the US Congress because their willingness to support sanctions in the first place was based on Iran ending its pursuit of nuclear weapons. It was not based on the belief that Iran cannot have peaceful nuclear power, and it certainly wasn’t based on a desire for regime change in Iran.As a result, those who say we can just walk away from this deal and maintain sanctions are selling a fantasy. Instead of strengthening our position, as some have suggested, Congress’ rejection would almost certainly result in multilateral sanctions unraveling.If, as has also been suggested, we tried to maintain unilateral sanctions, beefen them up, we would be standing alone. We cannot dictate the foreign, economic and energy policies of every major power in the world. In order to even try to do that, we would have to sanction, for example, some of the world’s largest banks. We’d have to cut off countries like China from the American financial system. And since they happen to be major purchasers of our debt, such actions could trigger severe disruptions in our own economy, and, by way, raise questions internationally about the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. That’s part of the reason why many of the previous unilateral sanctions were waived.What’s more likely to happen should Congress reject this deal is that Iran would end up with some form of sanctions relief without having to accept any of the constraints or inspections required by this deal. So in that sense, the critics are right. Walk away from this agreement, and you will get a better deal — for Iran.(APPLAUSE)

Now because more sanctions won’t produce the results that the critics want, we have to be honest. Congressional rejection of this deal leaves any US administration that is absolutely committed to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon with one option, another war in the Middle East. I say this not to be provocative, I am stating a fact.Without this deal, Iran will be in a position, however tough our rhetoric may be, to steadily advance its capabilities. Its breakout time, which is already fairly small, could shrink to near zero. Does anyone really doubt that the same voices now raised against this deal will be demanding that whoever is president bomb those nuclear facilities? And as someone who does firmly believe that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon and who has wrestled with this issue since the beginning of my presidency, I can tell you that alternatives to military actions will have been exhausted once we reject a hard-won diplomatic solution that the world almost unanimously supports.So let’s not mince words. The choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy or some form of war. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon.And here’s the irony. As I said before, military action would be far less effective than this deal in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. That’s not just my supposition. Every estimate, including those from Israeli analysts, suggest military action would only set back Iran’s program by a few years at best, which is a fraction of the limitations imposed by this deal.It would likely guarantee that inspectors are kicked out of Iran. It is probable that it would drive Iran’s program deeper underground. It would certainly destroy the international unity that we have spent so many years building.Now, there are some of opponents — I have to give them credit. They’re opponents of this deal who accept the choice of war. In fact, they argue that surgical strikes against Iran’s facilities will be quick and painless.But if we’ve learned anything from the last decade, it’s that wars in general and wars in the Middle East in particular are anything but simple.(APPLAUSE)-The only certainty in war is human suffering, uncertain costs, unintended consequences.We can also be sure that the Americans who bear the heaviest burden are the less-than-1 percent of us, the outstanding men and women who serve in uniform, and not those of us who send them to war.As commander-in-chief, I have not shied away from using force when necessary. I have ordered tens of thousands of young Americans into combat. I have sat by their bedside sometimes when they come home.I’ve ordered military action in seven countries. There are times when force is necessary, and if Iran does not abide by this deal, it’s possible that we don’t have an alternative.But how can we, in good conscience, justify war before we’ve tested a diplomatic agreement that achieves our objectives, that has been agreed to by Iran, that is supported by the rest of the world and that preserves our option if the deal falls short? How could we justify that to our troops? How could we justify that to the world or to future generations? In the end, that should be a lesson that we’ve learned from over a decade of war. On the front end, ask tough questions, subject our own assumptions to evidence and analysis, resist the conventional wisdom and the drumbeat of war, worry less about being labeled weak, worry more about getting it right.I recognize that resorting to force may be tempting in the face of the rhetoric and behavior that emanates from parts of Iran. It is offensive. It is incendiary. We do take it seriously.But superpowers should not act impulsively in response to taunts or even provocations that can be addressed short of war. Just because Iranian hardliners chant “Death to America” does not mean that that’s what all Iranians believe. In fact, it’s those…(APPLAUSE)-In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It’s those hardliners chanting “Death to America” who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican Caucus.(APPLAUSE)-The majority of the Iranian people have powerful incentives to urge their government to move in a different, less provocative direction, incentives that are strengthened by this deal. We should offer them that chance. We should give them the opportunity.It’s not guaranteed to succeed. But if they take it, that would be good for Iran. It would be good for the United States. It would be good for a region that has known too much conflict. It would be good for the world.And if Iran does not move in that direction, if Iran violates this deal, we will have ample ability to respond. You know, the agreements pursued by Kennedy and Reagan with the Soviet Union. Those agreements and treaties involved America accepting significant constraints on our arsenal. As such, they were riskier.This agreement involves no such constraints. The defense budget of the United States is more than $600 billion. To repeat, Iran’s is about $15 billion. Our military remains the ultimate backstop to any security agreement that we make. I have stated that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, and have done what is necessary to make sure our military options are real. And I have no doubt that any president who follows me will take the same position.

So, let me sum up here. When we carefully examine the arguments against this deal, none stand up to scrutiny. That may be why the rhetoric on the other side is so strident. I suppose some of it can be ascribed to knee-jerk partisanship that has become all too familiar, rhetoric that renders every decision made to be a disaster, a surrender. You’re aiding terrorists; you’re endangering freedom.On the other hand, I do think it is important to a knowledge another more understandable motivation behind the opposition to this deal, or at least skepticism to this deal. And that is a sincere affinity for our friend and ally Israel. An affinity that, as someone who has been a stalwart friend to Israel throughout my career, I deeply share.When the Israeli government is opposed to something, people in the United States take notice; and they should. No one can blame Israelis for having a deep skepticism about any dealings with the government like Iran’s, which includes leaders who deny the Holocaust, embrace an ideology of anti-Semitism, facilitate the flow of rockets that are arrayed on Israel’s borders. Are pointed at Tel Aviv.In such a dangerous neighbor Israel has to be vigilant, and it rightly insists it cannot depend on any other country, even it’s great friend the United States, for its own security.So, we have to take seriously concerns in Israel. But the fact is, partly due to American military and intelligence assistance, which my administration has provided at unprecedented levels, Israel can defend itself against any conventional danger, whether from Iran directly or from its proxies. On the other hand, a nuclear-armed Iran changes that equation.And that’s why this deal must be judged by what it achieves on the central goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. This deal does exactly that. I say this as someone who is done more than any other president to strengthen Israel’s security. And I have made clear to the Israeli government that we are prepared to discuss how we can deepen that cooperation even further. Already, we have held talks with Israel on concluding another 10-year plan for US security assistance to Israel.We can enhance support for areas like missile defense, information sharing, interdiction, all to help meet Israel’s pressing security needs. And to provide a hedge against any additional activities that Iran may engage in as a consequence of sanctions relief.But I have also listened to the Israeli security establishment, which warned of the danger posed by a nuclear armed Iran for decades. In fact, they helped develop many of the ideas that ultimately led to this deal. So to friends of Israel and the Israeli people, I say this. A nuclear armed Iran is far more dangerous to Israel, to America, and to the world than an Iran that benefits from sanctions relief.I recognize that prime minister Netanyahu disagrees, disagrees strongly. I do not doubt his sincerity, but I believe he is wrong. I believe the facts support this deal. I believe they are in America’s interests and Israel’s interests, and as president of the United States it would be an abrogation of my constitutional duty to act against my best judgment simply because it causes temporary friction with a dear friend and ally.I do not believe that would be the right thing to do for the United States, I do not believe it would be the right thing to do for Israel.(APPLAUSE)-For the last couple of weeks, I have repeatedly challenged anyone opposed to this deal to put forward a better, plausible alternative. I have yet to hear one. What I’ve heard instead are the same types of arguments that we heard in the run up to the Iraq war. “Iran cannot be dealt with diplomatically.” “We can take military strikes without significant consequences.” “We shouldn’t worry about what the rest of the world thinks, because once we act, everyone will fall in line.” “Tougher talk, more military threats will force Iran into submission.” “We can get a better deal.”I know it’s easy to play in people’s fears, to magnify threats, to compare any attempt at diplomacy to Munich, but none of these arguments hold up. They didn’t back in 2002, in 2003, they shouldn’t now.(APPLAUSE)-That same mind set in many cases offered by the same people, who seem to have no compunction with being repeatedly wrong…(LAUGHTER)-… lead to a war that did more to strengthen Iran, more to isolate the United States than anything we have done in the decades before or since. It’s a mind set out of step with the traditions of American foreign policy where we exhaust diplomacy before war and debate matters of war and peace in the cold light of truth. “Peace is not the absence of conflict,” President Reagan once said. It is the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means. President Kennedy warned Americans not to see conflict as inevitable, accommodation as impossible, and communication as nothing more than the exchange of threats. It is time to apply such wisdom. The deal before us doesn’t bet on Iran changing, it doesn’t require trust, it verifies and requires Iran to forsake a nuclear weapon.Just as we struck agreements with the Soviet Union at a time when they were threatening our allies, arming proxies against us, proclaiming their commitment to destroy our way of life, and had nuclear weapons pointed at all of our major cities, a genuine existential threat.You know, we live in a complicated world, a world in which the forces unleashed by human innovation are creating for our children that were unimaginable for most of human history.It is also a world of persistent threats, a world in which mass violence and cruelty is all too common and human innovation risks the destruction of all that we hold dear.In this world, the United States of America remains the most powerful nation on Earth, and I believe that we will remain such for decades to come.But we are one nation among many, and what separates us from the empires of old, what has made us exceptional, is not the mere fact of our military might.Since World War II, the deadliest war in human history, we have used our power to try and bind nations together in a system of international law. We have led an evolution of those human institutions President Kennedy spoke about to prevent the spread of deadly weapons, to uphold peace and security and promote human progress.We now have the opportunity to build on that progress. We built a coalition and held together through sanctions and negotiations, and now we have before us a solution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without resorting to war.As Americans, we should be proud of this achievement. And as members of Congress reflect on their pending decision, I urge them to set aside political concerns, shut out the noise, consider the stakes involved with the vote that you will cast.If Congress kills this deal, we will lose more than just constraints on Iran’s nuclear deal or the sanctions we have painstakingly built. We will have lost something more precious: America’s credibility as a leader of diplomacy. America’s credibility is the anchor of the international system.John F. Kennedy cautioned here more than 50 years ago at this university that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war. But it’s so very important. It is surely the pursuit of peace that is most needed in this world so full of strife.My fellow Americans, contact your representatives in Congress, remind them of who we are, remind them of what is best in us and what we stand for so that we can leave behind a world that is more secure and more peaceful for our children.Thank you very much.(APPLAUSE)
